We've known for a while that the Lamborghini Huracan is on the chopping block, with its successor to debut next year, and now we get to see the brand-new supercar in a premiere doing its thing on the open road.
The camouflage up front has parts that try to mirror the headlamps of the defunct Gallardo, which preceded the Huracan, though the real clusters are positioned closer to the nose. We can see extra lights mounted on each side of the central air intake, a double-bubble roof, and large vents behind the doors that feed air to the internal combustion lump placed behind the seats.
Out back, it has fake stickers that make the taillights seem more prominent, a multi-fun diffuser attached to the bumper that does not seem to be complete, and a pair of central-mounted tailpipes housed inside the new trim between the taillamps. The wheels are big and wide, and we can see some elements between the rear ones that appear to be part of the passive aerodynamics.
Intel suggests that the yet-unnamed supercar uses the same lightweight construction as the bigger Revuelto, which replaced the Aventador. Nonetheless, for money-saving purposes, it won't feature that much carbon fiber, as the Sant'Agata Bolognese marque is said to have opted for aluminum instead. That's one big piece of news, as the second is the ditching of the naturally aspirated V10 engine shared with the Huracan's German cousin, the Audi R8.
Technical specs remain unconfirmed, but it has been reported that Lambo opted for a V8 with twin turbos, which would be a different recipe than the naturally aspirated V12 engine assisted by electric motors powering the Revuelto. The flagship model uses two front motors and another one mounted at the rear, boasting a combined 1,001 hp (1,015 ps/747 kW). We don't know yet how much power the Huracan's successor will have, but it, too, will get one or more electric motors. The plug-in hybrid supercar will probably have the charging port positioned on the right quarter panel as opposed to the fuel filler cap on the other side.
Lamborghini is set on unveiling the Huracan's successor at the end of 2024. The announcement was made during a press presentation by the brand's head honcho, Stephan Winkelmann. The model will represent the company's second venture into the world of electrified machines after the Sian and the Revuelto. Later on, it has been rumored that their three-car lineup will welcome a fourth member, and this one is believed to be a battery-electric crossover that will sit alongside the Urus. Speaking of the latter, it is on its way to becoming electrified with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The PHEV Urus will debut later this year and should go on sale shortly after the premiere.
