The Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 (leaderboard names: LP 610-4 '14, Huracán '14, and Lambo Huracán) is a mid-engined supercar manufactured and produced by Lamborghini since 2014.
The Huracán is the replacement to sales leader Lamborghini Gallardo and has its name derived from the Spanish word for "hurricane".
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Huracán's name (huracán being the Spanish word for hurricane) is inspired by a Spanish fighting bull. Huracán was a bull known for its courage that fought in 1879.[1]
The Huracán also shares various components with the Typ 4S-codenamed second generation of the Audi R8 due to the sharing of Volkswagen's sports car technology among both the Huracán and R8.[2]
Design / Chassis[edit | edit source]
Changes from the Gallardo include full LED taillights and headlights (the latter inspired by those of the Lamborghini Aventador and Estoque), a 12.3 in (312.4 mm) full color TFT instrument panel, Fine Nappa leather and Alcantara interior upholstery, a redesigned dashboard and central tunnel, Iniezione Diretta Stratificata (IDS, essentially an adapted version of parent Audi's Fuel Stratified Injection) direct and indirect gasoline injections, 20 inch wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, optional Lamborghini Dynamic Steering variable steering system as an addition to the standard power steering system, and MagneRide electromagnetic damper control.[3]
In addition to these changes, ANIMA (Adaptive Network Intelligent Management) is also included; this controls the engine, transmission, LDS, all-wheel-drive, magnetorheological suspension, and electronic stability control.[3]
The Huracán has a dry weight of 3,135 lb (1,422 kg)[4] and a curb weight of 3,423 lb (1,553 kg).[5]
Engine / Drivetrain[edit | edit source]
The Huracán retains the 5.2 L (5,204 cc; 317.6 cu in) naturally aspirated Audi/Lamborghini V10 engine from the Gallardo, tuned to produce 602 hp (449 KW; 610 PS) at 8,250 rpm and 413 ft·lb (560 N·m) of torque at 6,500 rpm.[2][4] In addition, this V10 is the first V10 engine to use both direct fuel injection and multi-point fuel injection, thus combining the benefits of both of these systems. For increased efficiency, a start-stop system is also included.[6]
The Huracán features a seven-speed Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (lit. Lamborghini Dual Clutch) automatic transmission, which performs differently depending on the ANIMA mode selected.[3] Unlike previous offerings, the Huracán has no option for a manual transmission.[6]
Performance[edit | edit source]
- 0 - 60 mph (0 - 97 km/h): 2.9 seconds
- 0 - 100 mph (0 - 161 km/h): 6.25 seconds
- 0 - 186 mph (0 - 300 km/h): 27.6 seconds[7]
- Top speed (minimum, manufacturer claim): 202 mph (325 km/h)[4]
- Top speed (tested): 212 mph (342 km/h)[8][9]
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
In Forza Horizon 4, the Huracán is unlocked as a Road Racing Series reward.
Advantages[edit | edit source]
The Huracán retains the same overall driving model as the Gallardo of having good all-around performance, but with a higher top speed of up to 217 mph (350 km/h), better overall handling and braking, and much quicker acceleration, including 0 - 60 mph (0 - 97 km/h) in 2.9 seconds. It is also faster to 100 mph (161 km/h) than its V12-engined sibling, and has slightly superior handling over it and the Audi R8 V10 plus as well.
When upgraded for maximum power and minimum weight, the Huracán can be used for drag racing as well. However, this is most effective in Forza Horizon 3, where it can receive the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4's 6.5 L V12 as an engine swap.
Disadvantages[edit | edit source]
When upgraded to a higher class, the Huracán exhibits understeer, hence why it is best to keep it in its original class or 50 Performance Index points higher at most if going for a handling-based tune.

Official Turn 10 remarks[edit | edit source]
- “Of all the supercars to be found in the world, Lamborghini delivers a bodacious form like no other. Then, they back up that look with mind-blowing performance. The Huracán evokes emotion at a glance, inspires curiosity upon inspection, and will have you sweating once the rumbling, burbling V10 fires up. Once behind the wheel, the experience is awe-inspiring. Aboard this all-wheel-drive naturally-aspirated 600 plus horsepower supercar are moments that are normally reserved for the most elite in the world. Within the world of Forza Horizon 2, you can experience the joy of roaring down a curving, undulating mountain road or you can weave through traffic on the open highway at speeds that even those who can afford the real thing would never attempt. Bring the Huracán to a racing event and unleash its power and technology. In the battle for road-going supremacy, this is the ultimate weapon.”[10]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
