Lamborghini unveils an epic
LAMBORGHINI says its Huracán Tecnica combines the 470kw/565nm 5.2-litre V10 from its thrilling Huracan STO with the liveability of its regular Huracán and offers prospective buyers the ultimate blend of driving fun and lifestyle perfection.
The Tecnica’s zero to 100kmh datum is pegged at 3.2 seconds – just 0.2sec behind the bewinged STO – while full whack is a neck-stretching 325kmh. The 200kmh sprint is said to take just 9.1sec, while the stopping distance from 100kmh is just 31.5m.
It’s one of the Sant’agata-based brand’s last vehicles to have a naturally aspirated engine, and features rearwheel steering and torque vectoring, a modified traction control system, plus three drive modes: Strada (Street), Sport, and Corsa (Track).
Power is delivered to the supercar’s rampant rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while braking comes courtesy of dinner-platesized (380/356mm) carbon-ceramic rotors gripped by six-pot calipers up front and four pistons at the rear
Much of the Tecnica’s styling incorporates cues from Lamborghini’s Sian hypercar, including a restyled frontend with Y-shaped elements and a carbon-fibre bonnet. The rear bumper is also new, as is the vertical rear window
glass, engine cover and hexagonal exhaust tips. The model rides on 20-inch diamond-cut Damiso alloys.
“The Tecnica condenses Lamborghini’s design and engineering expertise to create the perfect, fun-to-drive Huracán, as compelling when driving to the race circuit as it is on the street itself,” Automobili Lamborghini’s Stephan Winkelmann said.
“The Tecnica ensures that the pilot enjoys the strongest connection to the car and asphalt, with the car’s potential always at his fingertips for ease of use in every driving mode and environment: in an era of virtual experiences, it pays homage to technical purity and physical sensation.”
The Huracán Tecnica is 61mm longer than the Huracán Evo and provides 35 percent more downforce and 20 percent less drag when compared back-to-back. It tips the scale at just 1379kg (tare) to offer a power-toweight ratio of 2.9kg/kw.
Like all Lambos, the Huracán Tecnica may be tailored to buyers’ tastes — there are more than 200 paint and trim choices available — but is offered in eight ‘standard’ colours.
The cabin is said to be more “acoustically comfortable” while the heightadjustable sports seats are more “immersive” than before. The Tecnica also features a racing harness and an infotainment system comprising Apple Carplay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa connectivity.
Pricing and availability for the Australian market is yet to be confirmed.
