Lamborghini Huracan - the new supercar of the Italian manufacturer

To date, the concern Lamborgini, despite its fame, is a tiny company that produces hundreds of cars a year. The release of Gullardo significantly affected this modest statistics: the number of sales has increased to several thousand a year. Now the hopes for further development of the company are assigned to the new model, which replaced the eminent predecessor - Lamborghini Huracan LP 610 4. The cost of the car is about 187 000 pounds sterling.

The minimum period of work of the novelty is 7-8 years. Since the first release, more than 14,000 cars have been sold, and this is far from the limit. Any automaker makes mistakes, and Lamborghini in this matter is no exception. But the company knows how to set clear tasks and successfully implement them. During the 51-year period of their existence (created in 1963), the percentage of errors was less than 10%. This shows the firm's win-win policy.

Premiere

The official premiere of Huracan took place in March 2014 at the Geneva auto show, although the official Russian dealer began accepting the first orders before that, in January 2014. It should be noted that all models intended for the domestic market have long been sold.

Benefits

The updated design of the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610 does not leave even the smallest chances for competitors in its segment. The novelty in many respects surpasses its predecessors. It concerns the price, quality and policy of the company. Not the least role is played by a rich color palette.

If you compare the novelty with the model Aventador, then it is more affordable. Each regular Lamborghini model carries something new for its customers. The car has a good chance of becoming the most sold in its segment, leaving behind its main competitors, including Audi R8, BMW I8, Ferrari 458, Aston Martin, Mclaren 12C and others. These are very serious companies that are thoroughly entrenched in the market. Slightly changed design of the public will not satisfy, especially if it concerns supercars.

The maximum developed capacity of 5.2 liters of the power unit V10 is 610 "horses" (448 kW at 8250 rpm). The maximum torque is 560 Nm at 6 500 rpm.

In addition to the above, there are multimedia settings, maps of the navigation system and other useful additions. For a two-zone climate control, a small TFT screen is also provided.

Interior of Lamborghini Huracan

The salon of the car with all its appearance speaks of the daring, sporting character of the model. A low landing of the driver and his passenger, a plump steering wheel with a trimmed bottom of the rim is proof of this. Without taking his hands off the "steering wheel", the driver is able to switch gears with the help of paddle lobes, manage the phone, multimedia and other equipment. Inside the car, you get the impression that you are in the cockpit of the fighter: a lot of switches, a button for starting the engine behind the red flap and so on.

It should be noted interior decoration materials. The manufacturer used natural leather and alcantra. Front panel, doors, armchairs, armrest, center console - all trimmed with combined skin.

Style of riding

The model provides for three driving modes: Strada, Corsa, Sport. The first mode is designed for quiet urban driving, the second for racing tracks, and the latter for a dynamic and exciting trip, which can be understood from the very name. Each regime drastically changes the behavior of Lamborghini Huracan on the road. If necessary, the system of road-holding stability can be turned off with a special button.

Suspension, four-wheel drive, speed

The car has a completely independent suspension with MagneRide shock absorbers. Noteworthy is the new engine injection system. Its use allows you to reduce fuel consumption, while increasing the power of Lamborghini Huracan. The average fuel consumption is 12.5 liters per "hundred".

Up to a mark of 100 km / h the sports car accelerates in 3.2 seconds, and to an index of 200 km / h - for 9.9 seconds. The car is equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission with a double clutch. The basic equipment includes high-quality and reliable carbon-ceramic brakes. The car confidently keeps road both on highway, and in city conditions.

Practicality

Engineers Lamborghini Huracan did not pay much attention to the practicality of the car, as for such cars it is practically irrelevant and never worth prioritizing. However, in a novelty, in comparison with its predecessor, there are more places for small loads. At the same time the capacity of the luggage compartment remained the same - only 150 liters. There can fit one or two bags of medium size, no more. Behind the backs of the driver and passengers also have 60-70 liters of free space, depending on how far the seats are moved.
