Since Lamborghini is currently the only big name on the supercar scene that remains entirely committed to natural aspiration, we're here to show you a Huracan that delivers a serious output jump without turning to forced induction.
Instead, the V10 heart of this once-a-602-hp Raging Bull has been gifted with a nitrous setup. The 5.2-liter engine packs a 150 hp shot and we have to tell you this takes it pretty far from the factory setup in terms of the quarter mile setup.

So while the standard Huracan is a 10.4s car, the nitrous one we have here managed to enters the 9s arena, albeit with 9.9s runs.

And, as you can imagine, this Huracan sometimes loses traction as if the road is damp, even in the sunniest of conditions. And we're talking AWD wheelspin here.

At this point, some of you will wonder how the stock powertrain copes with the extra oomph. Well, we'll remind you that both the supercharger and the twin-turbo camps have asked the stock motor and gearbox to work with even higher outputs.

We'll start by dropping a blow example, one that comes from VF Engineering's 800 hp package - here's a canyon run review of the beast, delivered by Marr Farah.

As for the TT example, this comes from the United Arab Emirates, where such a forced-fed Huracan packs over 850 horsepower.

Of course, this comparo wouldn't be complete without also mentioning what happens when the Huracan gets turned into a proper straight line racecar. This is where tuners such as Underground Racing or Heffner Performance come into play, with their 2,500 hp kits allowing the Italian supercar to deliver 7s quarter-mile passes.

The piece of footage below allows us to check out the said 1,320-foot performance of the Sant'Agata Bolognese machine, but you'll also be treated with plenty of street hooning.
