No...YOU wait...... Lamborghini is a MAN'S car....your gf is just supposed to sit there and look pretty...

 

It can not be compared to a spider but if we talk about the LP570 Superleggera, then I agree with you that it is an outstanding car. One of the best ever Lambos.

BUT trust me, once you see more pictures, videoes and a car in real life... then the game will change.

 

You are welcome my friend!!


Are you going to get a Huracán ?

 

my dealer is having his training this Friday..... and I'm off to see the car at our uk preview next Wednesday, sadly new pics allowed!!

 

^^Do you know if there will be any representatives of EVO Magazine?

Thank you.

 

that I cant say, as far as I know it's people from the factory and customers with a letter of intent for the car....heard late summer for cars to the uk, mines in for September ,hopefully some of the options will be available by then. normally early cars don't have all exta's, carbon etc it may be different this time!

 

Hi Monaco Bodyguards,

Yes..fully agree - a Lambo must be a mans car ..something that Porsche doesnt really build anymore and Im slowly drifting away from them.

Anyway, thanks also for keeping the really interesting french riviera thread here..we owe you a lot for this. Likewise, youre a real "Lambo connaisseur"

Three questions for you - maybe you know the answer:

1. Does the new Lambo have electric steering or the traditional hydraulic?
2. Will there ever be a manual again?
3. Will there be a again a Superleggera? I already like the previous one very much..

A few comments on the desgin: does the car look better then the Gallardo? No I would say, does it look worse? Not either I would say..on average Lambo did a very good job I think..maybe a bit too much "aventador touch"..but I suppose in dark colours this will not matter so much. Where I think the Gallardo still looks better (especially the earlier cars)..is the back. I dont like the back so far...but once I see the car...maybe it will change.

Grand Merci

 

Enjoy the prewiew on Friday, I am sure you will be impressed! Let us know here

For those interested I can add that starting from January 2014 there will be around 130 private preview events in more than 60 cities throughout the world....


During the prewiew of the Aventador at the factory, we caught a guy with a hidden camera in a PEN... No need to say that is was not well recieved.... and that is an understatement.


I can confirm that carbon is not yet available as an option for MY15 cars, which yours will be..... And I predict that you will not get it in September, sorry.

 

as i thought, it took a long while for the options for the aventador to filter through,porsche seem to be the only guys that have a full option list from the off on the gt3/rs models......I guess demand will be so high for the new car they don't need to offer them.just give me the right exhaust note.....I loved my Gallardo for the roar!!!!

 

Lamborghini S.p.A - Huracán Press Release

Press Release
The new Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4:
A new dimension in Luxury Super Sports Cars
• Innovative technology and absolute performance redefine the super sports car experience
• Pure and powerfully dynamic design language
• New V10 with 610 hp, acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds,
top speed of over 325 km/h
• From January 2014: private preview events for qualified prospects

Sant’Agata Bolognese, 20.12.2013 -- A new era is beginning for Automobili Lamborghini and the luxury super sports car segment: with the brand new
Huracán Lamborghini is not only presenting the successor to the iconic Gallardo, but is also redefining the benchmark for luxury super sports cars in this segment. With its pure and unique design, an innovative technology package, outstanding dynamics and excellent quality, the Huracán offers a super sports car experience on a whole new level. The Huracán combines absolute performance with easy-to- drive road behavior and both luxurious and sport-oriented finish. With the Huracán, Lamborghini is taking a big step into the future, and enhancing the brand’s illustrious history with the next automotive legend.

Starting from January 2014 the Huracán will be the protagonist of over 130 private preview events in more than 60 cities throughout the world.
The Lamborghini Huracán will make its world public debut at the Geneva Motorshow 2014.

Name
With a total volume of 14,022 cars produced, the Lamborghini Gallardo has been the most successful Lamborghini ever and, in its ten-year lifecycle, lifted the Lamborghini marque to a whole new level. Its successor, the new Huracán, has been developed from scratch down to the very last detail and, like the Gallardo and most other Lamborghini models, derives its name from the world of bullfighting. The fighting 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, showing his unrelenting character and remaining defiant and invincible, thus entering into the legend of fighting bulls’ history.

Design
The new Huracán revolutionizes the design language of the Gallardo and is pure in its lines: precise technology and top level craftsmanship meet an audacious design with sharp edges, monolithic and sculptured volumes and precise surfaces. The starting point is the silhouette of the Huracán, born out of the desire of creating an automobile, whose profile is defined by only one line that merges the front with the cockpit and the rear of the car. The lateral windows come together to create a hexagonal form inserted like a glass jewel in the car’s profile.

Also by night is the Huracán unmistakably a Lamborghini. Not only are the main headlamps equipped with full LED illumination, but all other light functions also feature state-of-the-art LED technology as a standard feature for the first time in the segment.

Interior
The interior is dominated by an innovative cockpit. A 12.3 inch full-color TFT instrument panel delivers all car information to the driver, from rev counter to navigation maps and infotainment functions, and can be configured by the driver in different setups. Fine Nappa leather and Alcantara distinguish the interior, with several color combinations offered to ensure broad individualization options. The design of dashboard and central tunnel underline a new lightness in the interior. Superb craftsmanship guarantees the highest quality and sense of luxury throughout.

Chassis and powertrain
Systematic lightweight design and Automobili Lamborghini’s extensive expertise in carbon fiber come together in the Huracán’s new hybrid chassis -- an integrated structure of carbon and aluminum elements. With a dry weight of 1,422 kg it enables not only the excellent power-to-weight ratio of just 2.33 kilograms per horse power, but also guarantees race-car precision with outstanding stiffness.

The new 5.2 liter V10 engine delivers a maximum power of 448 kW / 610 HP at 8,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 560 Nm at 6.500 rpm. In the new ‘‘Iniezione2 Diretta Stratificata’’ (IDS), direct and indirect gasoline injections are smartly combined. This results in more power and torque with lower fuel consumption and emissions compared with the Gallardo V10 engine. The top speed of over 325 km/h and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and to 200 km/h in 9.9 seconds only partially describe the dynamic experience at the wheel of the Huracán. Also thanks to the Stop & Start technology, the combined EU consumption figure has been further reduced to 12.5 liters per 100 km (290 g/km CO2 emissions). The engine complies with EU6 emissions regulation.

Driving dynamics
The power of the V10 engine is brought to the road via the new 7-speed dual- clutch transmission ‘‘Lamborghini Doppia Frizione’’ (LDF) and fully electronically controlled four-wheel drive system. The different driving modes of the Huracán can be selected via a driving dynamics selector switch in the steering wheel -- from traction-oriented on the road to extreme performance on the race track, with three setups of the dynamics system: STRADA, SPORT and CORSA. The different modes ensure extensive modification in road behavior of the Huracán. In particular they influence the set-ups of several systems, such as the gearbox and engine behavior, the sound, the four-wheel-drive system and electronic stability control. The Huracán’s carbon-ceramic brakes are a standard feature for consistently superb braking performance. The ‘‘Lamborghini Dynamic Steering’’ variable steering ratio system and magneto-rheologic suspension damper control are both available as options for further customization of the Huracán’s dynamic behavior. They are also calibrated via the three different dynamic set-ups.

The Huracán is produced at the Automobili Lamborghini headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese on an entirely newly-equipped production line. Delivery to the first customers is planned for spring 2014.
