Lambo’s latest V10-powered coupe is a rear-drive STO for street and circuit
LAMBORGHINI says its Huracán Tecnica combines the 470kW/565Nm 5.2-litre V10 from its thrilling Huracan STO with the liveability of its regular Huracán and offers prospective buyers the ultimate blend of driving fun and lifestyle perfection on road and track.
The Tecnica’s zero to 100km/h datum is pegged at 3.2 seconds – just 0.2sec behind the bewinged STO – while full whack is a neck-stretching 325km/h. The 200km/h sprint is said to take just 9.1 seconds, while the stopping distance from 100km/h is just 31.5 metres!
It’s one of the Sant’Agata-based brand’s last vehicles to have a naturally aspirated engine, and features rear-wheel steering and torque vectoring, a modified traction control system, plus three drive modes: Strada (Street), Sport, and Corsa (Track).
Power is delivered to the supercar’s rampant rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while braking comes courtesy of dinner-plate-sized (380/356mm) carbon-ceramic rotors gripped by six-pot calipers up front and four pistons at the rear
Much of the Tecnica’s styling incorporates cues from Lamborghini’s Sian hypercar, including a restyled front-end with Y-shaped elements and a carbon-fibre bonnet. The rear bumper is, likewise, new, as is the vertical rear window glass, engine cover and hexagonal exhaust tips. The model rides on 20-inch diamond-cut Damiso alloys.
“The Tecnica condenses Lamborghini’s design and engineering expertise to create the perfect, fun-to-drive Huracán, as compelling when driving to the race circuit as it is on the street itself,” said Automobili Lamborghini chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann.
“The Tecnica ensures that the pilot enjoys the strongest connection to the car and asphalt, with the car’s potential always at his fingertips for ease of use in every driving mode and environment: in an era of virtual experiences, it pays homage to technical purity and physical sensation.”
The Huracán Tecnica is 61mm longer than the Huracán Evo and provides 35 per cent more downforce and 20 per cent less drag (when compared back-to-back). It tips the scale at just 1379kg (tare) to offer a power-to-weight ratio of 2.9kg/kW.
Like all Lambos, the Huracán Tecnica may be tailored to buyers’ tastes (there are more than 200 paint and trim choices available) but is offered in eight ‘standard’ colours.
The cabin of the Huracán Tecnica is said to be more “acoustically comfortable” while the height-adjustable sports seats are more “immersive” than before. The Tecnica also features a racing harness, more readable instrument graphics, as well as an infotainment system comprising Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa connectivity.
Pricing and availability for the Australian market is yet to be confirmed.
