The Lamborghini Huracán debuted in 2014 as the successor to the Lamborghini Gallardo, marking a new era for Lamborghini’s V10 lineup. The name “Huracán” comes from a famous Spanish fighting bull, following Lamborghini’s tradition of naming cars after legendary bulls.
Key Milestones and Variants:
1. Huracán LP610-4 (2014-2019) – The original model featured a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10, producing 610 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, with power sent to all four wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It could sprint from 0-60 mph in just 2.8-3.2 seconds and had a top speed of over 200 mph.
