Lamborghini Huracan to debut at 2014 Geneva Motor Show

Lamborghini Huracan will make its global debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next March, Ireson writes, but in the meantime, the company is planning over 130 private previews of the Lamborghini Huracan in 60 cities around the world.

罢丑别听听has soldiered valiantly for the last several years of its decade-long run, with special edition upon special edition making the very most out of its now aged platform. But the Gallardo's time has come. A听听Lamborghini has arrived. 罢丑别听.

To be precise, it's the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍 LP 610-4. As you suspect, the 610 references the听听horsepower, though as usual, it's metric, so the American horsepower figure is closer to 600. Nevertheless, the 5.2-liter V-10 that produces the power, which arrives at a screaming 8,250 rpm, now benefits from direct听听injection and also generates 480 pound-feet of torque.

In the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍's 3,140-pound chassis, that 600-horsepower V-10 is, as predicted, matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and capable of accelerating you to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds--a figure that's likely to brush against the 3.0-second mark in the real world when the measure is 60 mph. Keeping your foot to the floor, 124 mph arrives in 9.9 seconds, and, if you have the nerves--and the nearly limitless closed course--for it, the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍 will carry on to a top speed of more than 202 mph.听

But perhaps just as important as the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍's performance figures is the car's appearance. It's impossible not to see the influence of the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍's older, larger brother,听. But at the same time, the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍 is clearly its own car, with proportions and details setting it apart. At any rate, it's much more closely aligned with the modern Lamborghini design image than was the Gallardo.

Up front, full LED headlamps create the illumination, and are standard equipment on every 贬耻谤补肠谩苍. But then, every exterior light on the new Lamborghini is LED--a first for the entire compact supercar segment, according to the company.

Inside the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍, you'll find a reconfigurable 12.3-inch display serving as the instrument panel, relaying everything from engine rpm to navigation directions and more. The upholstery is swathed in Nappa leather and Alcantara, wrapped around a low-slung, aircraft-like layout that mirrors the Aventador's.

Comfort may be relative when you're talking about a supercar, but the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍 offers three core modes for its driving dynamics system: Strada, Sport, and Corsa. Each mode is progressively more aggressive in its tuning of the Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox's behavior, the engine's throttle mapping, the dynamic exhaust, the four-wheel drive system, and the electronic stability control. Optional Lamborhini Dynamic Steering and magneto-rheological dampers round out the dynamic elements of the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍's driver interface, also adjusted by the three core dynamic settings. Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard on all 贬耻谤补肠谩苍s.

So what about that name, 贬耻谤补肠谩苍? Like all Lamborghinis of recent vintage, the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍 is named after a Spanish fighting bull. This one is from the Conte de la Patilla line, and, according to Lamborghini, was known for his "outstanding courage and strong sense of attack." That's a sentiment we can surely get behind.

The 贬耻谤补肠谩苍 LP 610-4 will make its global debut at the听听next March, but in the meantime, Lamborghini is planning over 130 private previews of the car in 60 cities around the world.

Lamborghini will build the 贬耻谤补肠谩苍 on a brand-new line at its Sant'Agata Bolognese plant, with the first cars reaching customers in the spring of 2014.
