Lamborghini has been noticed testing a prototype for its successor to the Huracán for the primary time.
The brand new supercar is due in late 2024 with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, and judging by the spy pictures and video it should boast a design that is distinct from its Revuelto massive brother.
The face of the automotive is considerably totally different, characterised by slit-like headlights and enormous daytime operating lights with a hexagonal form. The automotive additionally has massive intakes on the prime of its rear fenders, and is shorter general in comparison with the Revuelto.
Whereas the Huracán and its Gallardo predecessor have been carefully associated to Audi’s R8 supercar, it is thought the Huracán successor will borrow from the Revuelto, together with the adoption of the V-12 supercar’s carbon-fiber tub. This is smart as the following R8, or no matter supercar Audi will launch subsequent, will likely be electrical.
Lamborghini has confirmed that the Revuelto’s 8-speed dual-clutch automated will likely be used within the Huracán successor. The transmission, which is Lamborghini’s personal design, integrates an electrical motor within the Revuelto, and the identical will probably be true for the Huracán successor. What is not clear is whether or not the Huracán successor may even have two extra electrical motors on its entrance axle like within the Revuelto.
There are reviews the Huracán successor may lose the present V-10 engine and as a substitute go along with a V-8 for the internal-combustion element of its plug-in hybrid powertrain, particularly the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 discovered within the Urus. Lamborghini will use the V-8 in its plug-in hybrid Urus set to reach within the first half of 2024, and the sound of the prototype’s engine within the video may be very very like the sound of the Urus’ V-8.
The Huracán Sterrato revealed final December is the ultimate model of the Huracán, and in addition the ultimate common manufacturing mannequin from Lamborghini powered purely by a combustion engine. By the tip of 2024, all common manufacturing Lamborghinis will likely be electrified. The automaker could proceed to supply low-volume fashions powered purely by a combustion engine, probably even past the 2024 cutoff, although these could also be restricted to trace use, like 2020’s Essenza SCV12.
