Lamborghini Huracan Tested: 3 Things You Didn’t Know

The styling

Everybody noticed the Huracan is a softer visual proposal compared to the Aventador and perhaps even compared the Gallardo, especially if we take into consideration the eras when the two were launched.

Nonetheless, Lamborghini has been toying with the idea of a design that would mix masculine and feminine features before the Gallardo came around. We’re talking about the Cala concept that came around in 1995, somehow prefiguring the Gallardo. And yes, you may have driven this one in Need For Speed II.

The cabin

One of the greatest changes here comes from the steering wheel - like Ferrari, Lamborghini has relocated the wiper and light controls on the wheel, leaving the steering column to only hold those majestic paddles. Interestingly enough, the switches resemble those used in the motorcycle world, as if Ducati would’ve played a role here.

The fast bits

The Huracan’s power-to-weight ratio is actually a tad better than that of the Aventador. This means that, especially in the real world, you won’t feel the performance difference between the two. However, once you’re in the triple-digit zone, the V12’s beefier torque does give the Aventador the edge.

Make no mistake though, there driving character brings massive differences and we’ll talk about this in our review.

Then there’s the exhaust popping. We don’t know any other production car whose exhaust burbles like that of the Huracan (when you take your foot of the gas) - it’s like you... Hurl-A-Can.

So can you use the Huracan as a daily driver?

We wished this was the yes/no type of answer, but as always with Raging Bulls, things are not that simple. We’ll answer that by going deep into the belly of this Raging Bull beast in our Lamborghini Huracan review though.
