The Lamborghini is hugely fast, even so, but there’s always that niggle that the systems know best and are trying to save you from yourself, so the safety net is always in place, rather than waiting in the background, or aiding without hindrance. The Sport mode should be the one to pick, but there’s still a little bit too much electronic interference from the drive systems, so it feels unnatural, limiting rather than aiding, the electronics lacking the sort of sophisticated free-rein that the likes of Ferrari’s electronic controls offer. Indeed, like its rivals, the Huracan allows a choice of modes via its 'Anima' switch, through Strada, Sport and Corsa: that Strada one is a touch muted Sport gives you a bit more control, but doesn't fully leave you to it while Corsa is a full-on attack on the senses that allows you to hustle the Huracan without too much intervention. At least it rides well, the magnetic fluid-filled dampers allowing a ride that’s not compromised despite the Huracan’s focus. If there’s a ‘but’ in the Huracan’s make-up it’s the chassis. The transmission’s quick, as well, which is a good thing given the ferocity of that engine’s performance. The immediacy defines it and the sound it makes when doing so is about as glorious as you’ll ever hear, too. It’s a glorious, intoxicating unit, its V10 configuration beautifully exotic, its appetite for revs seemingly endless. The numbers associated with it don’t really portray the performance it’s capable of producing, as the 0-62mph time of even the four-wheel-drive car bettered by its direct rivals and even some competition in the sports car class, but when you push the accelerator to the floor and get that instant response you’ll not care one bit. It’s a phenomenal powerplant, in either 580hp form in the rear-driven LP 580-2 or higher 610hp output of the LP 610-4 four-wheel-drive car. In a world increasingly racing to a turbocharged future the Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 is a charismatic reminder that not all things new are necessarily better. Performance & Handling: ★★★★★★★★ ☆☆ (8/10)Ī supercar should be all about the engine, and the Huracan doesn’t disappoint. Verdict | Design | Interior | Technology | Performance | Safety | Specs | Running Costs | Pricing Impact you say? You’ve got it here, and some. The air intakes in the wings look like they suck up pedestrians to feed the V10 engine, while the rear is a mass of converging lines and geometrical shapes that mix to create one hell of a dramatic whole.

The detailing is sensational, too: the front lights, that low nose, and huge intakes are positively serpentine, its shape full of pent-up energy and absolutely dripping in supercar drama.
That’s no criticism, as the Huracan is not so short on drama you need to wave your doors in the air. Unlike its V12 Aventador relation it does without ‘Lamborghini doors’, though well it has doors, and they’re on a Lamborghini, but they open conventionally, instead of upwards. It looks sensational, an exotic wedge of pure supercar that’s a riot of lines, shapes and air intakes indeed, you get the feeling that if Lamborghini could make the wheels and tyres more square-cut in their looks it would. Ever since the Miura rolled out the gate of Lamborghini’s Italian factory that’s been true, and it’s no less so with the Huracan. You want to make an impact? Then buy a Lamborghini. It brings active aero, more power and a sub seven-minute Nürburgring lap time. There’s a feeling that there’s a bit more to come yet from the Huracan, and that’s definitely the case, as the firm revealed the Performante version at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. On looks alone you’ll struggle not to be writing a deposit for the Lamborghini salesperson, while that naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine remains one of the most thrilling you can currently buy. Even so, the Huracan remains a hugely compelling and desirable supercar.

Against the Ferrari 488 GTB it looks a bit safe, while McLaren’s Sports Series models are able to rival its performance for less money and with more engagement, too. That it’s based on Audi’s R8 V10 isn’t a problem in itself, though some supercar snobs might take delight in pointing that out to you no, the biggest issue for Lamborghini is the evolutionary leap that rivals have taken with their models. The Lamborghini Huracan is an entirely predictable replacement for the Gallardo before it, and in isolation it’s a thrilling, visceral car, though one that does come with a few provisos.
