Automobili Lamborghini has reached a new milestone after rolling off the 20,000th Huracán from its production line.
The unit — a Super Trofeo Omologata (STO) model in Grigio Acheso Matt — went to a client in Monaco.
“At its unveiling we said that with the Huracán, Lamborghini is writing the next chapter in its great history,” Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephan Winkelmann was quoted as saying.
“The Huracán has delivered an evolution of design, technological know-how, driving adventures, track records and sales records since its launch. It was designed as a car to provide super sports emotion in every environment, from daily driving to thrilling performance on track. Every iteration of the Huracán has stayed true to that Lamborghini philosophy, while in motorsport the Huracán is not only the protagonist of the Lamborghini one-make Super Trofeo series but has proved its dominance in GT3 series throughout the world,” he added.
The nameplate has 12 road and three racing versions.
Since its introduction in 2014, 71 percent of customers picked the coupé versions while remaining 29 percent opted for the open-air derivatives.
For the last eight years, the United States cornered the biggest share of the Huracán market at 32 percent , followed by the United Kingdom and Greater China.
Aside from that, the supercar manufacturer said that the Huracán models sold 2,586 units last year, largely contributing to the brand's overall sales record for 2021.
The first Huracán coupé — the LP 610-4 — made its debut at the 2014 Geneva motor show. The four-wheel drive vehicle has a powertrain that can provide 610 horses, acceleration from 0-100 kilometers per hour (kph) of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 325 kph.
It also comes with Lamborghini ANIMA drive mode selection, on-board gyroscope LPI system, dual fuel injection and LEDs lights throughout the car: an industry first in the super sports segment. The following year, Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder was unveiled at Frankfurt Motor Show. Its engine’s output is almost the same as with the coupé version as it offers 610hp, covers 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of 323 kph.
In 2015, Lamborghini had the Huracán LP 580-2, which shares the same 5.2-liter V10 engine with 610-4 but with a lower output of 580hp and 533Nm of torque. Aside from that, it came as rear-wheel drive (RWD). The top speed of the Huracán LP 580-2 is not far from the four-wheel drive offering as it can deliver up to 320kph.
In November 2016, the Huracán LP 580-2’s Spyder rear-wheel drive trim was unveiled at the Los Angeles Motor Show that can dish out 580 hp. “A 250-off, limited edition Avio model in 2016, celebrated the aviation and aeronautic inspiration in Huracán styling,” the company noted.
Year 2016 was also the year that the Huracán Performante was presented. The 640hp offering took the Nordschleife Nürburgring lap record for production cars.
In 2018, the Huracán Performante Spyder was unveiled. Similar to its coupé counterpart, the Performante Spyder outputs 640hp, 600Nm of pulling power, accelerates 0-100 kph in 3.1 seconds and 0-200 kph in 9.3 seconds.
After that, Lamborghini released the Huracan Huracán EVO in 2019.
“The distinctive design defined the aerodynamic superiority and enhanced driving dynamics of this new model taking the 640 hp and extraordinary abilities of the Performante combined with rear-wheel steering, torque vectoring and LDVI with predictive logic. The EVO Spyder adopted the next-generation vehicle dynamic control and aerodynamics developed for the coupé, with the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated Lamborghini V10 engine uprated for a higher power output and incorporating Titanium intake valves,” Lamborghini noted.
The Huracán EVO RWD was unveiled in 2020. It delivers 610hp and 560Nm to a lightweight car with rear-wheel drive and dynamic steering. The Huracán EVO RWD has a top speed of 325 kph and accelerates from 0-100 kph in 3.3 seconds.
It was also in 2020 when Huracán EVO RWD Spyder was launched virtually using Augmented Reality (AR).
Last year, Lamborghini launched the Huracán STO, which is inspired by the Huracán EVO Super Trofeo developed by Squadra Corse for Lamborghini’s own race series, as well as the Huracán EVO GT3, three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona and two-time winner of the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Powering the rear-wheel drive Huracán STO is a naturally-aspirated V10 engine that can generate 640 horses and 565 Nm, accelerates 0-100 kph in three seconds flat with a top speed of 310 kph.
The latest addition to the Huracán family — Tecnica — was unveiled last week, which is said to be the next-generation rear-wheel drive V10. The newest member in the Huracán lineage can provide 631 horses and 565Nm of torque.
Further, around 60 percent of Huracáns retailed around the world featured Ad Personam customization. The program now offers around 300 exterior colors, but a customer can always request a unique option. Buyers from central Europe, Japan and the United Kingdom are the most inclined to tailor-made customization.
A Huracán rear-wheel drive for the Pope was created in papal colors and presented in the Vatican City to be auctioned for charity.
To note, the Huracán STO was introduced to the Philippines late last year.
