Lamborghini Huracan

Exterior

The Huracan Evo is among the most beautiful supercars in the world. Its wedge-like silhouette cannot be ignored. At the front, it looks aggressive with that full-width lower grille, front splitter and those slim horizontal headlamps. The side profile features wide rear haunches and huge air-inlets above the doors that help channel air into the engine compartment. At the rear, it boasts of slender tail lights and a honeycomb mesh grille. Those two, high-set exhausts poking out of the rear are worth a mention too. Now I only wish the Lamborghini Huracan on-road price was a bit more affordable.

Variants

The Lamborghini Huracan variants are as follows: LP610-4. Features include heated and cooled seats, steering-mounted controls, multi-finger gesture control, cruise control, automatic headlamps, rear parking sensors, navigation, driver's seat with memory function, an 8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, voice command system, and a dual-camera telemetry system. On the safety front, it is equipped with traction control, Brake Assist, ABS, EBD, ESP and airbags for the driver and passenger.

Interior

The cockpit of the Lamborghini Huracan new model has been reworked quite a bit. Bang in the middle is the 8.4-inch touchscreen unit with gesture control. Lamborghini owners can also personalise their cabin with various colours and upholstery. The seats, however, remain the same snug-fitting chairs. Visibility out-front is great, but in order to have a peep at the engine from inside, you'll have to opt for the transparent engine cover. Controls for the indicator and headlamp switches are on the steering, and the 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit displays speed, sat-nav, audio information and revs. The aviation-themed, fighter-jet flip-up cover for the ignition remains, and the build, fit and finish are all top-notch. And the indicators and windscreen wipers are controlled by small switches on the steering. Boot space, at 150 litres, is sufficient for a few soft bags.

Engine Specifications & Performance

The Lamborghini Huracan Evo is powered by a 5.2-litre, naturally-aspirated V10 that makes 631bhp and 600Nm of torque, sending power to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. And it manages to sprint from a standstill to 100kph in just 2.9 seconds. The engine delivers great acceleration, accompanied by a deep, wailing sound track, typical of a V10. With the help of the ANIMA switch, you can select different driving modes. The steering is pretty light and precise, and the standard carbon-ceramic brakes take care of retardation duties. The Huracan Evo tends to understeer in Corsa mode. The Huracan LP580-2, in comparison, feels more alert. Ride quality is better than that of the old Gallardo's, making it an easier car to live with on a day-to-day basis. There's also four-wheel-steering and torque vectoring for the first time on a Lamborghini.

Mileage

The Lamborghini Huracan Evo's ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figure is rated at 7.19kmpl for the petrol model.
