OFFICIAL Lamborghini Huracán Picture & Information Thread

No..... but it is an ongoing project... The current situation is that the Huracán is not ready yet and the fact that the Aventador still has a 15-16 months waiting list.... this keeps the factory more than busy enough.
You called it..... Aventador SV.
You called it..... Aventador SV.

You can either choose a tachometer or a navigation map.
It will display on the main instrument cluster. Then you can flick through the menu and bring it up.

I got the answer, as Audi simply continues the tradition
Here is some interesting read:
The world of bullfighting is a key part of Lamborghini's identity. In 1962, Ferruccio Lamborghini visited the Seville ranch of Don Eduardo Miura, a renowned breeder of Spanish fighting bulls. Lamborghini, a Taurus himself, was so impressed by the majestic Miura animals that he decided to adopt a raging bull as the emblem for the auto company he would soon found.
After producing two cars with alphanumeric designations, Lamborghini once again turned to the bull breeder for inspiration. Don Eduardo was filled with pride when he learned that Ferruccio had named a car for his family and their line of bulls; the fourth Miura to be produced was unveiled to him at his ranch in Seville.
The automaker would continue to draw upon the bullfighting connection in future years. The Islero was named for the Miura bull that killed the famed bullfighter Manolete in 1947.
Espada is the Spanish word for sword, sometimes used to refer to the bullfighter himself.
The Jarama's name carried a special double meaning; intended to refer only to the historic bullfighting region in Spain, Ferruccio was concerned about confusion with the also historic Jarama motor racing track.
After christening the Urraco after a bull breed, in 1974, Lamborghini broke from tradition, naming the Countach not for a bull, but for countach! (pronounced [kunˈtɑʃ] ( listen)), an exclamation of astonishment used by Piedmontese men upon sighting a beautiful woman.[
Legend has it that stylist Nuccio Bertone uttered the word in surprise when he first laid eyes on the Countach prototype, "Project 112". The LM002 sport utility vehicle and the Silhouette were other exceptions to the tradition.
The Jalpa of 1982 was named for a bull breed; Diablo, for the Duke of Veragua's ferocious bull famous for fighting an epic battle against "El Chicorro" in Madrid in 1869;
Murciélago, the legendary bull whose life was spared by "El Lagartijo" for his performance in 1879; Gallardo, named for one of the five ancestral castes of the Spanish fighting bull breed; and Reventón, the bull that defeated young Mexican torero Félix Guzmán in 1943.
The Estoque concept of 2008 was named for the estoc, the sword traditionally used by matadors during bullfights.
The replacement for the murcielago, the Aventador (unveiled in 2011) was named for a bull that was bred by the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides. This bull was killed in a particularly gruesome fight, where after the bull was killed, its left ear was cut off and given to the Matador as a token of good luck.
The bull Huracán of the Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed was known for his outstanding courage and strong sense of attack. He fought in Alicante in August 1879 and according to Lamborghini records showed “unrelenting character” while remaining defiant and invincible, thus entering into the legend of fighting bulls’ history.

Yes, you will get a separate key. And now you can try to figure where the key receptacle is?

And excellent read on the history of the names
