Overview
The Lamborghini Huracán, named after a Spanish hurricane, is a mid-engine, two-seater sports car that roared onto the scene in 2014 and remained in production for a decade. It replaced the Gallardo, Lamborghini's best-selling model at the time, and quickly became the brand's new volume leader. The Huracán was first revealed online in December 2013, then made its world debut at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show, with sales starting in the second quarter of that year. Over its ten-year run, Lamborghini produced over 20,000 units, making it one of the most successful models in the company's history. The car was available in coupe and spyder forms, with a naturally aspirated V10 engine producing between 580 and 640 horsepower, depending on the variant. It also spawned numerous special editions, including the rear-wheel-drive LP 580-2, the track-focused Performante, the hardcore STO, and the off-road-inspired Sterrato. In 2024, the Huracán was succeeded by the Temerario, a plug-in hybrid V8 model. The Huracán received widespread acclaim for its sharp handling, powerful engine, and striking design, cementing its status as a modern classic.
