Lamborghini unveils Huracan LP 610-4 luxury super sports car

Lamborghini does it again. After the release of the Veneno now comes a replacement for the Lamborghini Gallardo.

MILAN—Automobili Lamborghini SpA Friday took the wraps off the Huracan LP 610-4, the Italian auto maker’s carbon-fiber and aluminum successor to the Gallardo that will compete in the small and increasingly crowded market for luxury sports cars.

The company explains the name “Huracán” as “the fighting bull Huracán of the Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed was known for his outstanding courage and strong sense of attack.”

The Huracán is referred to as a “luxury sports car” and not a “supercar”, which somehow conveys that the automaker is not out to market this car as a hardcore replacement to the Gallardo. At first glace, The Huracán looks like an updated Gallardo, with simplified wedge shaped details, different door handle, wider and lower appearance.

Here are some more features of The HuracánL

full LED illumination headlamps
state of the art LEDs on all other lights
cockpit inspired by the Aventador but slightly more angular
