Lamborghini’s V10 icon is exiting the lineup with fanfare.
The Lamborghini Huracán is being retired, and it’s due to be replaced by a hybrid model that is set to break cover soon. After a decade serving as Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar, the fanfare it’s exiting with is well-deserved. It was at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show where the Huracán was first revealed, and in the 10 years that have passed, it’s shown off an incredible versatility that few other supercars have been able to compare to, pushing boundaries and exemplifying excellence when it comes to what a supercar can do.
The original Huracán model, the 2014 Huracán LP 610-4 combined Lamborghini’s compelling V10 power with carbon ceramic brakes and a dual-clutch transmission, along with MagneRide shock absorbers, and a digital display on the dashboard, combining high-tech innovation with supercar soul. After that came the Spyder variant in 2015, and the LP 580-2 in 2016, which featured engaging rear-wheel drive.
The Huracán Performante was also introduced in 2016, and it featured racing-oriented performance tweaks like the ALA system which provided incredible performance-oriented aerodynamics. It became the fastest super sports car to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in its time, and the Performante Spyder was revealed in 2017.
Revamping the Huracán was the EVO model, revealed in 2019, improving performance, aerodynamics, and adding features like all-wheel steering and Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics. The Huracán EVO Spyder was revealed in 2019 as well. The fun, driftable version of the EVO was revealed in 2020, the Lamborghini Huracán EVO RWD, which also had a complementing Spyder model.
2021 saw the introduction of the ruthlessly performance-focused STO, based on the Super Trofeo race car and built with the track primarily in mind. Immense power and rear-wheel drive make it something truly special. In addition, it features the first use of F1-inspired brakes, codeveloped with Brembo, on a road car.
The Huracán Tecnica, introduced in 2022, combined the STO’s power and performance with the EVO’s comfort, everyday usability, and style, and it came with a unique design that sets it apart and also enhances aerodynamic performance.
The final Lamborghini Huracán model is the Sterrato, which brought to fruition the idea of a zany concept and took the Huracán off the beaten track, raising its suspension, increasing the size of the tires, and doing various other upgrades to imbue it with off-road capability, showing off the Huracán in an environment where very few other supercars can approach.
Special editions of the Huracán added exclusivity, like the 2019 EVO GT Celebration and the 2023 60th Anniversary model, and the 2024 Huracán STJ served as the glorious and ultra-exclusive send-off for the Huracán, limited to just 10 examples and showing off the model’s incredible performance excellence. As the Huracán exits from Lamborghini’s lineup, its hybrid successor has very big shoes to fill.
