Huracáns Cruise Norway in Style at 2019’s Lamborghini Avventura

By Kristen Finley - July 31, 2019

Trip gave Lamborghini an opportunity show off its incredible performance on the twisty roads in Norway’s Lofoten Islands.

“Avventura,” which, in case it wasn’t obvious, is Italian for “Adventure.” Last year, Lamborghini decided to start the Lamborghini Avventura. The annual journey gives the automaker to show that that their vehicles aren’t just for showing off how many figures are in your bank account. They’re beautiful cars with soul and personality, put together by brilliant and passionate engineers.

Last year, the Italian car makers took a few of their chosen prized bulls to Norway after weaving through Transylvania, Andalusia, and Iceland. Lamborghini Avventura saw the seven super cars start their journey above the Arctic Circle in Harstad, and end their trek at Mount Keipen in Norway–a trip totaling 391 miles.

Lamborghini stated that their goal was to take the newest Huracán EVO to the Norwegian Lofoten Islands for lively testing. Many consider the Huracan EVO Lamborghini’s “refresh” or “restart” car, because it’s exactly what Lamborghini buyers needed. Since super cars are extremely expensive and only useful if it’s taken to the track on the weekends, Lamborghini came up with the Huracán EVO. It is still a V10 with a high output (of 631 hp and 442 ft-lbs of torque), but it’s way more appealing to those who want to drive it on a more regular basis. It’s even cheaper, for a Lambo, anyway, at $268,000. It breaks away from the Audi components on the inside with a Lamborghini exclusive infotainment system, as well. It’s got more Lambo flavor this time around.

Now, back to the Lambos dancing through the Norwegian Lofoten Islands. These beautiful islands are connected by a series of delectable roads that twist, turn, climb. and dive through mountains that feature some of the oldest rocks on the planet. There are roads that go through long and elaborate tunnels that feel more like caves, and roads that, as Lamborghini put it, “appear to float on water.” Lamborghini wanted to showcase their vehicles with a background of a metaphorical soulful symphony, and this was the perfect place to do it. Given it’s amazing and productive coast lines, for Europe, the Lofoten Islands are the biggest producer of stockfish; salted fish, usually cod, that’s dried by the cold, ocean breezes.

Their first pit stop was the fishing village of Henningsvær (try saying that five times fast). The small and serene village is known for having the most beautiful football grounds in the world, as the playing field just barely kisses the sea. From there, the bulls went south towards the oldest and best preserved village in Norway: Nusfjord. This is where the first day of the journey ended, observing the beautiful traditional red fisherman’s dwellings that hover above their fishing grounds. Bright and early the next day, the Lambos sauntered to Ramberg, on the island of Flakstadøya. Here, the Lambo drivers got to admire the large beaches with white sand. On their way to Mount Keipen, they passed through the vtown of Svolvær–the oldest town in the Arctic Circle.

Concluding their incredible and well documented adventure (or, avventura) it was spent at the top of Mount Keipen to see the midnight sun. Since their trip took place during July, it was a perfect set up to see the stunning phenomenon. Complicated science made simple: Because of the position of the region of the Earth’s tilt, the sun doesn’t dip below the horizon completely like it would during the rest of the year. At the Arctic Circle, where the seven Lambos were, the sun stays risen for a few weeks around the Summer Solstice. At the North Pole, the sun stays high in sky for a solid six months.
