THE SUM IS GREATER THAN ITS PARTS

The Lamborghini LP 610-4 Huracán achieves many technological feats as it goes into production. And at the recent launch event in Spain, members of the media were given an exclusive behind-the-scenes perspective of what goes into making the Huracán so special.

So before you get behind the wheel of your new Huracán, join us for an in-depth look at what makes the Huracán such a special car for Lamborghini.

Starting with the Aluminum and Carbon Fiber Hybrid chassis, a first-ever achievement for a serial Lamborghini, engineers were able to achieve a 10% weight reduction, with a 50% increase in torsional stiffness over the outgoing Gallardo. For this application, it is the optimum balance.

A fantastic chassis is just one component; with the latest 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 and its dual-clutch Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) gearbox, the Huracán evolves into a lighter, faster and more aggressive performer. The all-new LDF gearbox is the first seven-speed dual clutch unit that allows for both high-performance driving and day-to-day driving needs.

With 610 horsepower, and 75% of its 560 Nm413 ft-lbs of torque available at 1,000 rpm, the beating heart of a V10 achieves blistering performance returns with the help of both direct and indirect fuel injection; also resulting in an 11% decrease in C02 emissions by use of its standard stop-start technology.

Harnessing the power and translating it to the street is the new electronically controlled all-wheel drive system, electromechanical power steering and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS).

The Huracán can achieve a 0-62 mph time of 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph.

The all-wheel drive system comes with a base rear bias of 70%, and can maximize its rear torque distribution from 50% up to 100%, all managed through the dynamic mode selection with the Adaptive Network Intelligent Management (ANIMA) selector.

Helping to calibrate and configure ride values is the double-wishbone suspension and Magneto-Rheological dampers. Working in conjunction with the ANIMA system, this allows for a comfortable daily-driving style, as well as improved and more aggressive handling for track-oriented driving.

To help with stopping, standard carbon ceramic brakes can stop the car in as little as just over 104 feet from 62 mph. This is a more than three-and-a-half feet improvement over the Gallardo.

And wrapping all the technology and development is the innovative and efficient exterior, penned by Head of Design Filippo Perini and his team.

With the latest car, designers needed to reduce drag, increase downforce, improve cooling as well as improve lateral wind stability, have high driving agility all while improving fuel consumption and reducing emissions; no small order.

With much work, the engineers were able to reduce the drag by 3%, and increase downforce by 50%.

Also, the addition of a middle front-wing guides fresh cool air into the coolers, as well as channel air to the back diffuser past the covered underbody, with strategically placed inlets to help cool the mid-engine components under all traffic conditions.

These also help contribute to the eight percent improvement of efficiency over its outgoing predecessor.

All components, tireless tested, modeled and developed, are impressive in their own right, but it is truly the sum is greater than the parts, and that equals the next great super sports car from Sant’Agata Bolognese.
