The official specs and tech details for the new Lamborghini Huracan LP 610:4 model have been revealed by it's manufacturers. Though it's details have been already released, the successor to the Gallardo model will still be showcased at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The Lamborghini Huracan LP 610:4 specs
Power for the model comes from a new naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 engine which uses Lamborghini's new technology called Iniezione Diretta Stratificata (IDS) to combine traditional fuel injection with direct injection to yield gains in both output and economy. With the new technology, the new engine is capable of producing 610 brake horse power at 8,250rpm and 413lb/ft or torque at 6,500rpm. Fuel economy on the machine averages at about 19-23mpg with CO2 emissions pegged at 290g/km.
The vehicle's power is distributed by an equally new seven speed dual clutch auto transmission dubbed Lamborghini Doppia Frizone (LDF). The new engine and transmission setup allows the vehicle to accelerate from a standstill to 62mph in 3.2 seconds which is 0.2 seconds quicker than the Ferrari 458 Italia. The Huracan reaches 124mpg in 9.9 seconds before topping out at around 202mph.
Brakes rotors for the new system are designed from carbon ceramic all around, with 15 inch diameter units in front and 14.2 inch at the back. The model's stopping distance from 62-0mph has been pegged at 31.9 metres or 104.7 feet. When you look at the specs from this angle we believe that the car is a highly powered sports machine which is indeed proving to be the case right now, in terms of comfort and interor design we believe it would match that of something similar to high spec Alfa Romeo model but, without a doubt much more performing than most makes of cars available around the world today.
The Lamborghini Huracan LP 610:4 styling and tech
The Huracan LP 610:4 model's chassis is the same as that used on the Audi R8 due next year. The chassis was developed using Audi's expertise and Lamborghini's knowledge of carbon fibre, using a rear bulkhead and transmission tunnel made from resin transfer mould ~(RTM) carbon fibre, while the rest is an aluminium space frame. The two materials are connected with glue and rivets, resulting in a body which weighs 10% less than the Gallardo but is 50% stiffer.
The model receives Pirelli P-Zero tyres on 20 inch wheels, developed especially for the Huracan model. The front end of the model is inspired by the Aventador, featuring a ‘flying’ C-pillar and huge intakes in the side sills to help with engine and brake cooling but also add drama to the rear quarter while quad exhausts and slim rear lights emphasise the car's incredibly low and wide stance.
Inside, the model receives an new steering wheel equipped with an ANIMA button, indicator switch, washer and wiper controls and a button for the high beam headlights. Behind the wheel is a pair of larger paddles and a 12.3 inch digital display. This can be customised with a choice of three layouts;a large rev counter in the centre, a rev counter to one wide with infotainment and maps next to it, or infotainment and maps across the entire screen.
The ANIMA button on the bottom of the steering wheel enables the driver to select one of three driving modes; Strada, Sport and Corsa. Each tailors the engine mapping, exhaust sound, gearbox, dynamic steering, four-wheel drive system and adaptive magneto-rheological dampers. While an innovative new system called LPI, or inertial platform, uses several accelerometers and gyroscopes placed at the car’s centre of gravity to update and prime the steering, gearbox, four-wheel drive system and ESC for optimum reactions at all times.
The Huracan will replace the Gallardo model in spring 2014 but official deliveries of the new Lamborghini Huracan LP 610:4 model won't begin until summer with pricing to begin at an estimated £165,000.
