Lamborghini in India has introduced their latest sports-car, the Huracan LP610-4, at a price of Rs 3.43 crore (ex-showroom, New Delhi). Globally unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March this year, the Huracan is successor to the now discontinued Lamborghini Gallardo.
The Huracan will be the entry-level ticket for anyone who wants to get a taste of brand Lamborghini. In India, it will sit below the bigger and more expensive Lamborghini Aventador in the company’s product line-up. As is and has been the case with any Lamborghini, the Huracan with it’s sharp polygon edges, massive air intakes and an aggressive front fascia is designed with a typical Lamborghini flair. No matter what angle you view it from, it’s one spectacular and drool-worthy piece of automobile design.
A similar kind of treatment is seen inside the car, where you find a similar layout as that seen in the Aventador. The interior is heavily inspired by a stealth-jet’s cockpit and you get all the control knobs and buttons on the dashboard, and elsewhere inside the car, designed on similar theme.
Lamborghini, as a car manufacturer, is known for the sheer drama their cars provide. You may singlehandedly give credit to the aesthetics of their cars for that, but in actual, it’s the lethal combination of those outwardly looks and absolute firepower that makes a Lamborghini so desirable. To compliment to the Huracan’s stunning looks, Lamborghini has plonked a naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 petrol engine in the Huracan. This engine develops 610PS of peak power@8,250rpm and 560Nm of maximum torque@6,500rpm. Coupled with a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, the power is routed to all of the four wheels on the Huracan. Performance? 0-100km/h comes is 3.2 seconds, while it can also hit a top speed of 325km/h.
The Huracan comes with 3 selectable driving modes for optimized suspension and engine response combination. Namely they are- Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (racetrack) mode. Owners can select their preferred settings depending on the driving conditions. The car also comes equipped with a nose-lift function that raises the suspension height to increase the ground clearance to up to 175mm from 135mm under normal conditions. A boon if you plan to take the car on Indian roads.
Deliveries of the Lamborghini Huracan will commence from next month onwards in India.
