You cannot order a brand-new Huracan straight from Lamborghini anymore, as the entire production allocation has been sold out. The V10-powered machine will stick around until next year, when it will leave the assembly line for good, making way for its successor and its electrified powertrain.
The all-new supercar, which is bound to be named after a famous fighting bull, has been caught in the open several times now. We've even seen it on video, during which it revealed that fresh engine note for a brief moment, and now it is time to dedicate another story to it, as our spy photographers just nabbed a prototype testing on public roads.

No matter how much we want to ignore the identical styling and camouflage positioning, we can't because it is identical to the tester we spotted a few months back. A quick look at the license plate reveals that it is actually the same car. And nothing has changed since then, not even the black wheels nor the positioning of the high-voltage stickers.

Nonetheless, it is worth mentioning that it has a double-bubble roof, a large air vent in the middle of the front bumper, turn signals incorporated into the LED DRLs, large vents behind the doors to cool down the mid-mounted engine, and a wide exhaust tip between the taillights. The diffuser is also on the aggressive side, and from certain angles, it kind of looks like the Batmobile out back.

Like every other Lambo enthusiast out there, we hoped the Sant'Agata Bolognese exotic car firm would retain the beloved naturally aspirated V10 from the Huracan. After all, the Revuelto, which succeeded the Aventador, is still offered with a V12, albeit featuring electric assistance. However, it appears that the Italian company went for a V8 instead, giving it twin-turbocharging.

Electric assistance is on deck here, too, with plug-in assistance, as highlighted by the charging port located on the right rear fender, with the fuel filler cap sitting on the other side. The total output produced remains a big secret, though certain outlets speak of around 850 horsepower. That would make it some 150 hp less powerful than the bigger Revuelto and would give it a 30 hp or so advantage over the Ferrari 296 GTB.

Stephan Winkelmann himself, who is the head honcho at Lamborghini, has confirmed that the successor to the Huracan is due at the end of next year. This likely means it will enter production shortly after, and deliveries will likely commence in the first quarter of 2025. By then, chances are we'll see less camouflage on the future scooped testers and perhaps some leaked images to give us a better idea of what it will look like.
