Even after 8 years in manufacturing and 11 other fashions, Lamborghini is not eliminating the Huracan but, as an alternative unveiling the brand new Huracan Tecnica on the New York Auto Display on Tuesday. Designed as type of an STO-lite, the Huracan Tecnica is pitched as “the fun-to power Huracan” by means of CEO Stephan Winkelmann, with the easiest mix of music capacity and roadgoing prowess.
To start with look the entrance finish of the Tecnica does not in point of fact appear to be a Huracan. The redesigned entrance bumper has a big Y-shaped air curtain coming off the headlights, and the decrease bumper is deeper and much more competitive. Regardless of having somewhat minor tweaks, the brand new entrance offers the Tecnica an overly other, dinosaur-like look. The Tecnica is two.4 inches longer than the Huracan Evo, and the rear finish is a fair stranger and extra angular than the Huracan STO. However the Tecnica does with out the track-ready STO’s wider fenders, insane single-piece entrance finish, wild roof scoop and large rear wing — as an alternative it has a small spoiler and a perfect cool Spyder-like glass engine duvet with a carbon-fiber encompass. The 20-inch wheels had been impressed by means of the Imaginative and prescient Gran Turismo idea, however my favourite element is the hexagonal exhaust guidelines.
Talking of STO, the rear-wheel-drive Tecnica makes use of the similar 5.2-liter V10 engine as that automotive. It places out 631 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque, which is equal to the STO and 15 hp and four lb-ft higher than the Huracan Evo RWD. Height torque comes on at 6,500 rpm, and Lamborghini says the Technica will hit 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, best 0.2 seconds slower than the STO.
With a carbon-fiber hood and suggestions like light-weight doorways and titanium wheel bolts and rear arches, the Tecnica has a dry weight of three,040 kilos, best 89 kilos heavier than the STO. The Tecnica additionally will get torque vectoring and the STO’s rear-axle steerage machine, and Lamborghini gave the power modes, traction regulate machine, steerage and suspension Tecnica-specific tunes, all with the purpose of a broader breadth of talent. The brand new bodywork, tweaked underbody and stuck wing will increase downforce by means of 35% and decreases drag by means of 20% in comparison to the Evo RWD, and the Tecnica has carbon-ceramic brakes with new cooling control and ducts that higher deplete warmth.
The Tecnica’s cabin has comfier, height-adjustable game seats, in addition to a redesigned virtual gauge cluster and central touchscreen with more effective graphics. Tech options like Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa and Android Auto are all on board, and the Tecnica has a telemetry machine that connects to a smartphone app. Lamborghini says the Tecnica could have over 200 paint colours to be had during the Advert Personam program, along side a host of recent internal suggestions. However do not be disturbed, shoppers too can create totally bespoke specifications if they have got were given sufficient cash.
Talking of cash, Lamborghini hasn’t introduced a value for the Tecnica. It does not sound just like the Tecnica will probably be restricted relating to manufacturing, so it must slot between the $214,366 Evo RWD and the $330,000 STO — a price ticket like $280,000 sounds about proper to me. The Tecnica will achieve sellers later this 12 months.
