Lamborghini is about to interrupt a decades-long custom: it confirmed that the Huracán‘s successor might be its first turbocharged super-sports automobile. The corporate launched a brief preview video that briefly exhibits the new car revving to over 10,000 rpm to reassure skeptical followers.
The 55-second video takes you on a visit down reminiscence lane. First, we see — and listen to! — the Gallardo, which was bought between the 2004 and 2014 mannequin years, going flat-out on a dyno. Subsequent, it is the Huracán’s flip to display what it is able to; the video briefly exhibits a tachometer with a redline pegged at 8,500 rpm. Lastly, it is the brand new automobile’s flip, and it out-revs its predecessor by going over 10,000 rpm.
Whereas we will hear the brand new, twin-turbocharged V8 engine’s exhaust be aware, we will additionally clearly hear the whine of an electrical motor because the tach needle makes its well beyond the ten,000-rpm mark. That is as a result of the mannequin that can change the Huracán will use a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. We’ll have to be affected person to study the total specs, however we already know that the 4.0-liter engine will develop about 800 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque by itself. The pistons are linked to a flat-plane crankshaft, so the V8 ought to sound rather a lot like a racing engine.
The video hides the brand new automobile’s styling, however earlier spy shots recommend it would stay characterised by a wedge-shaped silhouette. It is tough to inform how the finer design particulars, such because the headlights, have advanced as a result of the check mule noticed by our spies is roofed by camouflage. The automobile may borrow a handful of styling cues from the Revuelto, which was unveiled in 2023 to switch the Aventador with a brand new V12.
We can’t have to attend lengthy to search out out extra, as an earlier report claims Lamborghini will reveal the Huracán’s successor throughout Monterey Automobile Week, which is true across the nook. When it lands, it would be part of the Revuelto and the updated Urus SE in Lamborghini’s hybrid-only vary.
