Overview
The Lamborghini Huracán is the Italian automaker’s current entry-level offering, replacing the Gallardo and slotting in under the Aventador within the roster’s latest hierarchy. It was unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show to plenty of fanfare, where it showcased the latest evolution in the Raging Bull’s V10 super sports car.
Featuring an improved version of the 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10 engine from its predecessor, the Huracán LP610-4 produced 610 hp right from the get-go and could rocket from 0-60 mph in just over 3 seconds. It also features a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, which we like to note, the much more expensive Aventador does not. Like the Aventador however, there is no manual transmission option available.
From a genetics stand point, the Huracán actually has more in common with the Audi R8, with which it shares a number of components - most notably the same engine. This is no doubt a byproduct of the parent company’s influence on both the production and decision-making aspects of Lamborghini’s day-to-day operations.
Not even 3 years into its life-cycle, the Huracán was already proving itself as a tried, tested and true performance machine. The first track-oriented version of the car, known as the Performanté, had set a lap time of 6:52.01 at the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife testing grounds in October 2016.
Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA) - Lamborghini’s active aerodynamics system - was the star of the show, allowing the car to maximize grip during turns, while reducing drag on the track’s many high-speed sections. It wouldn’t be until the next year, when it took a certain Porsche 911 GT2 RS to beat the time the Performanté had set at the Green Hell.
For the Huracán, Lamborghini carries over the familiar and extroverted wedge-shaped design used on the Gallardo, which could only ever be considered minimalist and subdued when up against an Aventador. Nevertheless, the Huracán is no stranger to making statements and can be had in a multitude of bright paint colors and catchy interior themes.
How Many Lamborghini Huracan were made?
Although official production numbers have yet to be released for 2020, it is but a formality at this point for the Huracán taking the title from the Gallardo as being the best-selling Lamborghini car ever produced. Lamborghini announced in late 2019 that 14,022 units of the Huracán had been built, which matched that of the Gallardo. The Huracán is anticipated to have a 10-year production run, so it should surpass that number quite handily by the end of its life-cycle.
Huracan Interior
The cabin can be customized with distinct color choices and different finishes, while technology plays a large role in the experience with dedicated HMI graphics and enhanced connectivity exclusive to Huracán Tecnica. The Lamborghini Huracan Evo blends performance orientation with a balanced and relaxed ride, making it a true everyday supercar, but with a distinct lack of practicality and interior storage. The Huracan also offers a convertible version, and the main trim levels are the Huracan Evo, Huracan STO, and the new Huracan Tecnica. There are also exclusive interior finishes made of top-quality materials exclusive to Huracán Tecnica.
Huracan Exterior
The Huracán's exterior is a "perfect fusion of technology and design" and features "crisp, streamlined lines designed to cut through the air and tame the road". The exterior design of the Huracán can also be customized to fit the owner's preferences. There are over 40 different exterior color options available for the Huracán, including solid, metallic, special metallic, pearl, and matte colors. Additionally, there are different exterior configurations available for the Huracán, such as the recently revealed Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato with a beefy roof scoop and a new configuration rear diffuser. For the 2021 model year, the Huracán received new exterior color options, including Rosso Anteros, Blu Astraeus, and Blu Eleos.
Huracan Dimensions
The Lamborghini Huracan dimensions vary slightly depending on the variant, but generally fall within the same range. The length ranges from 4459mm to 4549mm. The width ranges from 1924mm to 1945mm. The height ranges from 1165mm to 1220mm. The wheelbase is around 2620mm. The Lamborghini Huracan offers around 100 liters of boot space.

Lamborghini Huracán LP Avio (610-4). Unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Avio is the first limited edition of the Huracán, bringing new colours, upholstery, exterior decals and interior logos inspired by the Italian fighter jets along with featuring a tricolore cockade in Red, White and Green.
Origins
The first iteration of the Huracán was designed by Filippo Perini, who is the current Head of Design at Italdesign in Italy. Perini’s signature can also be found on the initial release versions of the Aventador, which has helped to provide a sense of brand uniformity across the Lamborghini model range.
Much like the Aventador, the Huracán borrows many of its design cues from that of a fighter jet; it has a deliberate angular wedge-shaped silhouette and an unmistakably Lamborghini profile. While it looks a fair bit more subdued than its stablemate, the Huracán is still the byproduct of aggressive aerodynamic overhangs, body panels, diffusers and air inlets.
As is tradition, the Huracán is named after a breed of Spanish fighting bull and made its debut in the guise of a coupé model; namely, the 2014 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4. In keeping with the nomenclature its stablemate follows, the LP stands for “Longitudinale Posteriore” in reference to its longitudinal rear mid-engine layout. Furthermore, ‘610’ and ‘4’ respectively indicate the model’s horsepower and number of driven wheels (2 for rear-wheel drive, 4 for all-wheel drive).
Immediately, the Lamborghini Huracán made leaps and bounds over the outgoing Gallardo in every regard. It had more power, plenty of tech (for convenience and performance alike) and was the first Lamborghini model to feature a dual-clutch transmission. Lamborghini’s active aero system, known as Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), is what really set it apart from its predecessor.
The Huracán would receive a facelift in 2019, which also serves as a marker for what will likely turn out to be the model’s mid-life milestone. Again, the torch would be passed to Mitja Borkert, current Head of Design at Lamborghini, who was also responsible for updating later versions of the Aventador. Dubbed the Huracán EVO from that point forward, the refreshed platform received a number of notable changes, upgrades and new variants.
Initial Release
Huracán LP610-4 (2014-2019) & Spyder (2016-2019)
The first Huracán to come out of the gates was the LP610-4 coupé. Serving as the baseline for future variants, the LP610-4 nevertheless did not hold back any punches, coming standard with a 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10 which produced 610 hp @ 8,250 rpm and 413 ft-lbs of torque @ 6,200 rpm. Utilizing Lamborghini’s clever “Iniezione Diretta Stratificata” system, the Lamborghini Huracan engine combined the best worlds of both direct and indirect fuel injection configurations, which in turn improved power and fuel efficiency. The Huracán could sprint from 0-60 in as little as 3.2 seconds.
Following up on Gallardo’s hugely successful era was always going to be a tough act, so Lamborghini insisted that the Huracán be more of a revolution than an evolution, from its predecessor. The typical Lamborghini design cues remained - sharp hexagonal edges, a wedge-like silhouette and fighter jet stance - but were blessed with a more modern interpretation, incorporating the latest technologies inside and out.
Lamborghini introduced its brand new 7-speed dual-clutch transmission on the Huracán LP610-4 - dubbed “Lamborghini Doppia Frizione” - which sent power through an advanced electronically controlled all-wheel drive system. Three driving modes could be selected via a steering mounted selector, which allowed drivers to choose between Strada, Sport and Corsa modes. In that order, each mode provided the car with an increasingly track-biased disposition by manipulating the responsiveness of the gearbox, engine, drivetrain and stability controls.
The chassis consisted of a mix of carbon fiber and aluminum elements which allowed the car to be both light (1,422 kg) and rigid. Magnetorheological dampers and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system were optional features which allowed for even more precision and customizability of the Huracán’s driving character.
In 2015, the Huracán LP610-4 Spyder was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show and would debut for the 2016 model year. The drop-top shared all the same mechanical underpinnings as the coupé and featured an electrohydraulic soft top. Due to the drop-top mechanism and the extra chassis reinforcements, the Spyder weighed about 120 kg more than the coupé and was also 40% more rigid than its predecessor, the Gallardo Spyder.
Huracán LP580-2 (2016-2019) & Spyder (2016-2019)
It didn’t take long for Lamborghini to foresee the potential of a rear-wheel drive Huracán variant, nor did they require too much notice to act on it. Both rear-wheel drive Huracáns - the LP580-2 coupé and LP580-2 Spyder - were released for the 2016 model year and would prove to be huge commercial successes for the company, while also providing the basis on which the future Huracán Evo RWD models were built.
The conversion to rear-wheel drive begins with the removal of the front driveshaft and differential, which not only changes the drivetrain, but lowers the weight and alters its distribution also. From this alone, weight balance changes to 40(F)/60(R) from 43(f)/57(R) on the all-wheel drive version, while 73 lbs is shed overall. To accommodate these changes, the front springs and anti-roll bar are made to be 10 percent softer to optimize the contact patch on the front tires.
As the name suggests, the rear-wheel drive variants also feature a slightly detuned version of the LP610-4 engines, producing 580 hp @ 8,000 rpm and 393 ft-lbs of torque @ 6,500 rpm. They did however, share the same 7-speed dual-clutch transmission as used on the all-wheel drive cars.
Due to the reduced weight, the LP580-2 variants had the same power-to-weight ratios as their all-wheel drive counterparts and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and 3.6 seconds, in the coupé and Spyder models respectively. Top speed was 199 mph in each car.
Aesthetically, the LP580-2 models could be distinguished from the LP610-4 models with a couple of understated design cue changes - namely, a slightly different front bumper and larger air vents at the rear. The Spyder version also continued to use the same soft-top mechanism seen on the LP610-4.
The LP580-2 was a real boon for both the purist and the cost-conscious buyer alike; the return of a rear-wheel drive Lamborghini gave many fans a cause to celebrate, while the cost savings of around US$40,000 over the all-wheel drive models was the proverbial cherry on top.
Huracán LP640-4 Performanté (2017-2019) & Spyder (2018-2019)
Similar to how the Aventador had its SV models, so too would the Huracán get its own rendition of a track-focused variant. Unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the then-latest iteration of the Huracán was dubbed the LP640-4 Performanté. It was produced in both coupé and Spyder (released in 2018) configurations, with the latter weighing around 125 kg more due to the drop-top mechanism and extra chassis reinforcements.
The Performanté took the largest leap in terms of improvements and changes compared to any of the previous Huracán models, with significant revisions to the car’s appearance, engine performance, electronics, aerodynamics, and chassis. Most notably, it is the first Huracán model to feature Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), which is Italian tech-talk for Lamborghini’s active aerodynamics system.
For starters, forged aluminum and additional carbon fiber components helped take the weight down by about 40 kg compared to the LP610-4, while the revised front and rear fascias and large carbon fiber side skirts provided a much more aggressive, purposeful and distinctive appearance for the Performanté. The interior was also updated with redesigned seats and a new digital gauge cluster.
Visual differences aside, these changes served a much more influential purpose, especially as it pertains to the Performantés performance CV. Features such as the large carbon fiber rear wing and rear diffuser were all components of Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva, which could allow the car to maximize grip during turns, while reducing drag for high-speed moments.
In totality, the Performanté was simply spectacular. The 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10 was the most powerful version yet, producing 640 hp @ 8,000 rpm and 443 ft-lbs of torque @ 6,500 rpm. It could hit 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds. At its peak, it generated some 750% more downforce than the standard models. The magnetorheological suspension and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system were improved to provide more precise control.
Far be it from Lamborghini to settle for the LP640-4 doing little more than padding the spec sheet, as the Performanté would test its mettle in October 2016 at the ultimate proving grounds - the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Then and there, it set the production car lap record of 6:52.01 with factory race driver Marco Mapelli behind the wheel.
The capabilities of Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva were on full display, with the active aerodynamics system playing the biggest role in this achievement. As the Nürburgring is a demanding mix of both high-speed straights and challenging corners, ALA truly excelled as it was able to adapt the car to any situation.
Where other cars with elaborate fixed aerodynamic setups (or primitive active aerodynamics systems) would suffer from drag, the Performanté could be optimized for top speed, while reverting back to a high-downforce setting to provide extra grip when required.
Mid-cycle Refresh
Huracán Evo (2019—) & Evo Spyder (2019—)
As the 5-year milestone of the Huracán was approaching, a face-lifted version of the car was already waiting in the wings. Called the Lamborghini Huracán Evo, this latest iteration was inspired by the Huracán LP640-4 Performanté, with the Evo very much picking up where it had left off. The Huracán Evo would slot in as the standard (and only) model in the lineup, until the arrival of the rear-wheel drive variants in 2020.
Having been heavily involved with the design of the LP640-4 Performanté, this seemed like the natural progression of things for Mitja Bokert, who officially took over as Chief Designer for the Huracán range from this point onward. The first Evo variant to be released was the coupé which featured more aggressive and track-inspired design cues, many of which were borrowed from the Performanté.
This is not just for show, as downforce is improved by up to 400 percent compared to LP610-4, which would be the most comparable model to the Evo in this post-refresh era. The convertible variant - known as the Huracán Evo Spyder - was released shortly after and continued to fashion an electronically operated soft-top mechanism.
By all accounts, the Evo can be viewed as an updated or repurposed version of the LP640-4. This is especially true when considering that both Evo variants also make use of the outgoing Performanté’s 640 hp engine. Improvements were then made around it, with revisions to the rear-wheel steering and torque vectoring systems helping to improve handling and driving dynamics.
The car itself is more clever too, thanks to new tech which serves to enhance comfort and convenience. Using ‘feed forward logic’, the car’s computer system is able to automatically select the best driving mode based on how the car is being driven at any moment. In addition, Lamborghini has added a new Ego driving mode, which allows drivers to create their own custom settings.
Huracán Evo RWD (2020—) & Evo RWD Spyder (2020—)
In 2020, Lamborghini introduced rear-wheel drive versions of the Huracán Evo which essentially replaced the LP580-2 variants from the initial release period. Known as the Huracán Evo RWD, the new rear-driven versions of the Huracán were once again available in coupé and Spyder configurations.
Spiritually, the Evo RWD and LP580-2 cars adhere to the same mantra by removing the front driveshaft, lowering the Lamborghini weight and changing the disposition of the car to one which is more puristic in nature. Both Evo RWD variants feature a 610 hp version of the 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10, which allows the cars to accelerate from 0-60 mph in as little as 3.3 seconds.
To really hammer down the concept that this car is all about delivering maximum driving pleasure, the Evo RWD variants get their own exclusive traction control systems known as P-TCS (Performance Traction Control System). It essentially is a less intrusive driver aid, which does not abruptly cut power when the car begins to slide. Instead, power is managed more intricately, allowing the Evo RWD to oversteer at greater angles and with more control - basically, a drift mode.
It is really great to see Lamborghini not hesitating to produce rear-wheel drive versions of the Huracán, with the Evo RWD variants appearing as an immediate fixture rather than an afterthought a few years into the car’s life-cycle. If this is a sign of things to come, we should expect the Huracán’s successors to produce rear-wheel drive models from start to finish. This seems to be what the customers want, afterall.
Huracán STO (2021—)
The Lamborghini Huracán STO is a super sports car created with a singular purpose, delivering all the feel and technology of a genuine race car in a road-legal model. It is inspired by the racing heritage of Lamborghini Squadra Corse's one-make race series with Huracán Super Trofeo EVO, as well as its three-time 24 Hours of Daytona-winning and two-time 12 Hours of Sebring-winning Huracán GT3 EVO. The STO stands for Super Trofeo Omologata, and it is the road-legal version of the Super Trofeo race car.
The Lamborghini Huracán STO is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine that produces a maximum power output of 449 kW (602 hp; 610 PS). It has rear-wheel drive and is a rear mid-engined 2-door sports coupé with 2 seats. The car can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.0 seconds and has a maximum speed of 193 mph.
The Lamborghini Huracán STO has a number of unique features that make it suitable for the race track, such as an adjustable rear wing, a redesigned front splitter, and a large rear diffuser. The car also has a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, which ensures exceptional torsional rigidity and makes it one of the lightest Huracáns ever produced. The Huracán STO has three new driving modes, STO for normal driving, Trofeo for race mode, and Pioggia for rain or wet, which adapt the setup of the car to match high-performance driving environments.
Huracán Tecnica (2022—)
The Huracán Tecnica is a special edition model of the Lamborghini Huracán that was introduced in 2022. It features a design inspired by the racing DNA of the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 and comes with several upgrades over the standard model. The front and rear architectures have been restructured with sharper lines to improve aerodynamics, which brings about stability and ease in every ride. The Huracán Tecnica features the same 5.2-liter V10 engine as the Huracán STO, delivering 470kW at 8000rpm and 565Nm at 6500rpm, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h. It also comes with rear-wheel steering and rear-wheel drive, making it a perfect blend of performance and beauty. Auto Express reports that the Huracán Tecnica is more affordable than the Huracán STO, and that it feels more urgent and precise than the already sharp Huracán EVO. It has received positive reviews, with critics praising its power delivery, steering, and consistency of weight. Overall, the Huracán Tecnica is a track-focused supercar that combines the best of both worlds, road and track, and offers an exhilarating driving experience.
Special Editions / One-Off Models
No Lamborghini model range would be complete without a healthy serving of special editions and one-off versions, and this is certainly no different when it comes to the Huracán. While it doesn’t yet boast the plethora of uber rare cars that its predecessor (the Gallardo) can, special edition models are coming in thick and fast as we approach the final 3 years of the Huracán era.
The Lamborghini Huracán STO is the latest of this batch, and also functions as the latest track-focused variant of the Huracán. Too hardcore to simply be considered a replacement for the Performanté (of which an Evo version is likely on the way), the STO possesses remarkable aerodynamic features such as a roof snorkel and extra-large rear wing. Carbon bucket seats with race harnesses also come standard.
We’ll dive deeper into all the special edition and one-off Huracáns ever produced, in the “Variants” and “In Depth Guides” sections below.
The Huracán Sterrato is a super sports car designed by Automobili Lamborghini for maximum driving pleasure on loose or dirt surfaces, reinterpreting the very concept of sportiness and emphasizing the brand principles of brave, authentic, and unexpected. It is essentially an off-road version of the Huracán EVO, featuring a higher ride height and increased suspension travel, as well as a wider track width. The Huracán Sterrato is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, delivering 631 horsepower to the all-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-steering drivetrain.
The Huracán Sterrato has a number of unique features that make it suitable for off-road use. For instance, it comes with monoblock calipers at each corner, which work on ventilated and cross-drilled carbon-ceramic discs to ensure efficient braking. The car also has a rear-wheel steering system for improved handling and a torque vectoring system, while a new central processing unit controls the various functions of the car and monitors various settings. The Huracán Sterrato's design is inspired by that of a rally car, with a number of aerodynamic enhancements and a distinctive livery that includes matte-finished bodywork, contrasting accents, and large roof-mounted LED light bars.
Lamborghini has announced that it will produce only 900 units of the Huracán Sterrato, with a European market price of €263,000 before taxes. Despite its high price tag, the Huracán Sterrato has been praised by car enthusiasts and journalists alike for its exhilarating performance and unique off-road capabilities.
End of Production
The expectation is that the Lamborghini Huracán’s life-cycle will span around 10 years or so, meaning we will be treated to more and newer Huracán models for the next 3 years. It’s too early to be talking about a successor, or when exactly that will be or what it might look like. Lamborghini’s focus at the moment is furthering the legacy of its current V10 masterpiece.
Whatever does happen from this point onward, there can be no disputing the success of the Huracán. By all meaningful accounts, the Huracán has already surpassed the Gallardo in unit sales and should easily smash its 14,022 record by the time the last car drives off the production line. Having sold the same number of cars in half the time, it should be no surprise if the Huracán manages to surpass the 25,000 unit sales milestone before its conclusion.
Motorsport
The Lamborghini Huracán is heavily involved in Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Series and in GT3 category racing. For the former competition, a Lamborghini Huracán LP620-2 Super Trofeo was raced from 2014-2019, while an updated version - based on the Huracán Evo roadcar - called the Huracán LP620-2 Super Trofeo Evo has been used since.
The Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo EVO is a racing car developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse for use in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, a one-make racing series. It was unveiled in 2014 as the successor to the Gallardo Super Trofeo and is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine producing 612 horsepower. It features composite bodywork and has 45% greater torsional stiffness than its predecessor. The Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo EVO Collector's Edition is a limited production version of the car. The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, which is the latest version of the racing car that will be used across each of the three continental Lamborghini series, starting in 2022, features radical aerodynamic refinements and an uncompromising design created by Lamborghini Centro Stile. The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 is equipped with a V10 engine with 620 hp and 560 Nm of torque, which is paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox. There is also a new version of the racing car, the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 Collector's Edition, which features unique styling and additional aerodynamic features. Some of the aerodynamic refinements that distinguish the EVO2 from its predecessor include a new front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser. The new EVO2 model has also been upgraded with a new braking system and a redesigned interior with a new digital dashboard and more comfortable seats.
Since 2015, the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 has been used for racing in that competition. The first iteration of the GT3 was raced until 2019 and featured a version of the 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10 which produced 527 hp and 376 ft-lbs of torque. As a stripped-down race car, it only weighed 1,230 kg and has claimed wins through a number of racing teams which include Team Lazarus, Grasser Racing Team and Paul Miller Racing.
Like the Super Trofeo race car, the GT3 would also be updated in 2019 using the new Huracán Evo roadcar as its platform. Dubbed the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo, the new GT3 race car featured a more powerful output of 630 hp, which was produced from the 5.2L naturally-aspirated V10 unit.
The Huracán GT3 Evo is a racing car developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse based on the Huracán EVO road car. It was homologated in 2019 and features an upgraded 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine, producing 433 kW (580 hp; 588 PS) and 488 N⋅m (360 lb⋅ft) of torque.
The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 is a racing version of the Huracán STO that was designed and developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse, in collaboration with Centro Stile. The car is equipped with rear-wheel drive only and a naturally aspirated V10 engine, which comply with new FIA 2022 technical regulations. The Huracán GT3 EVO2 is set to make its racing debut at the 2023 Rolex 24 at Daytona, with customer deliveries slated to take place in the second half of 2023. It shares essential design elements with the Huracán STO, including a radical aerodynamic refinement and an uncompromising design created by Lamborghini Centro Stile. The Huracán GT3 EVO2 is an updated version of a Huracán GT3 racer from Lamborghini's Squadra Corse racing department, complying with new FIA GT3 regulations.
Reception & Legacy
All Huracán models have received critical acclaim for their all-around performance and versatility, pushing the envelope of what an everyday supercar could and should ought to be. In fact, its inherent pragmatism is sometimes the target of criticism, with the likes of Richard Hammond of Top Gear saying that it was “too tame to be a proper Lamborghini” despite being named “The Supercar of the Year 2014” by the show.
Later variants such as the track-oriented Performanté - and the rear-wheel drive LP580-2, Evo RWD and STO versions - would eventually sway most of the Huracán’s harshest purist-fueled critics; Hammond would later admit to the Performanté as being “brilliant” when it became the second fastest car around The Grand Tour test track in 2017.
The wildness and raw nature of classic Lamborghini cars tend to occupy a sweet-spot amongst an older generation of buyers and enthusiasts. They expect and even desire a Lamborghini to be a handful to control at the limit, and do without refinements in the interest of a more pure driving experience. But more than anything, this is a veiled compliment and acknowledgment of the Huracán's superb road-manners and extraordinary capabilities on the race track.
Right now, the Lamborghini Huracán is considered to be one of the most reliable exotic automobiles in the market. Already in its seventh year of production, the Huracán has not been the subject of any significant issues and is generally referred to as being “bulletproof”. This has likely come from the benefit of the Huracán’s close ties with the Audi R8.
As always, following the recommended maintenance schedule and having your Huracán serviced by a certified Lamborghini technician is paramount in keeping the car problem-free in the short and long term. Extra diligence is required if you plan to drive your car on the race track.
Although official production numbers have yet to be released for 2020, it is but a formality at this point for the Huracán taking the title from the Gallardo as being the best-selling Lamborghini car ever produced. Lamborghini announced in late 2019 that 14,022 units of the Huracán had been built, which matched that of the Gallardo. The Huracán is anticipated to have a 10-year production run, so it should surpass that number quite handily by the end of its life-cycle.
Needless to say, the Lamborghini Huracán has been extremely well received and will surely go down as one of the great Lamborghini supercars of all time; one which will have set the bar higher for the brand going forward.

LAMBORGHINI HURACÁN FAST FACTS
Lamborghini Huracán prices when new?
Base price at launch for the 2014 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4 was $238,600. The Spyder version - added to the lineup in 2016 - was priced from $266,325.
The Lamborghini Huracán LP580-2 rear-wheel drive variants released in 2016, became the new entry-level offering within the range. The coupé had an MSRP of $203,674, while the Spyder had its base price set at $223,654.
Shortly after, beginning in 2017, the Performanté variants would slot in as the premium offering in the Huracán lineup. Coupé models started at $281,048 with the 2018 Spyder bumping the MSRP up to $308,859.
The new Evo variants which arrived via the mid-cycle refresh, also debuted with the release of all-wheel drive models, before offering rear-wheel drive versions later on. The former models would have a base price of $261,274 and $287,400, for the coupé and Spyder respectively, while the latter and more affordable models go for $208,571 and $229,428.
Due to the inherent nature of limited edition and one-off models, most, if not every single one of them, were sold at prices well in excess of US$500,000; their values are likely to have appreciated in the pre-owned markets, as well.
Lamborghini Huracan prices currently (used market)?
Lamborghini Huracáns have generally held their value well, with more sought after versions like the Performanté typically commanding the biggest premium. Earlier years (2015-2016) of the LP610-4 are asking at around the $210,000 mark on average, with higher-mileage and less-optioned examples often creeping below the $200,000 mark. Expect the average price to go up around $20,000 for every newer model year.
Despite costing much less brand new, rear-wheel drive LP580-2 models are similarly priced to the early-year LP610-4 models on the used market, proving to be the more popular choice in the pre-owned segment. $210,000 should land you a very nice example.
As mentioned before, you will need to prepare a much bigger budget if you are in the market for a used Performanté. These cars are typically asking for $315,000 on average, but you should be prepared to pay a bit more for a nicer example.
Being relatively new, there is a bit less data on the Evo variants. However, the general consensus at the moment looks to be, that if you can buy one brand new today, that would be the best choice. You won’t be saving much money - or any, depending on how the car is specced - on a used Evo or Evo Spyder. This is true with both all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive models, with prices averaging $300,000 and $270,000 respectively.
Lamborghini Huracán reliability and maintenance costs?
Right now, the Lamborghini Huracán is considered to be one of the most reliable exotic automobiles in the market. Already in its seventh year of production, the Huracán has not been the subject of any significant issues and is generally referred to as being “bulletproof”. This has likely come from the benefit of the Huracán’s close ties with the Audi R8.
Ownership costs fall in line with other makes and models in its class, which means you should be setting aside $2,000 to $5,000 every year for routine maintenance items. As always, following the recommended maintenance schedule and having your Huracán serviced by a certified Lamborghini technician is paramount in keeping the car problem-free in the short and long term. Extra diligence is required if you plan to drive your car on the race track.
