New Huracán whips up a storm

THE Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 will eat up the miles on the motorway almost as quickly as it gulps down all known superlatives.

It is probably the fastest, noisiest, most in-yer-face supercar on the road. Ferraris and McLarens seem almost modest and understated by comparison. Imagine, if you can, having to make the choice.

The new Huracán, which replaces the Gallardo, has a 610hp 5.2 litre V-10 engine, blasting it from rest to 60mph in close to three seconds, and on to a maximum of 202mph. There’s no manual gear change. You have to accept the 7-speed automatic and the four-wheel drive. A complicated system of gyroscopes and accelerometers communicates with the four-wheel drive, steering, gearbox and suspension to keep you in the right gear, and rescue you from danger if you overdo it.
