Lamborghini Huracán First Look The Running of the Sexy Bulls Continues With More Than 600 hp The birth of the 2015 Lamborghini Huracán is a somewhat bittersweet occasion. Its predecessor, the Gallardo, is one of the most successful and entertaining cars in Lambo's history. We've certainly had our fair share of fun times behind the wheel of numerous variants from the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera to the Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni. But after almost 10 years of service, the time has come to put this Raging Bull to rest. And if you weren't one of the lucky 14,000 or so customers to take home a Gallardo, then the Huracán appears to be a promising successor, boasting a lighter curb weight and a new V-10 churning out more than 600 HP. For now, Lamborghini is releasing only preliminary details on the new Huracán, but at least we have a few important specs like power figures. Lambo also provided details on the origins of the new name, which was rumored to be Cabrera during the months leading to the Huracán's debut. Unlike the Gallardo, named after a breed of Spanish bulls, Huracán was the name given to a courageous and strong fighting bull back in 1879. Not only does the Huracán carry on the tradition of bullfighting-inspired names, but it also continues Lambo's practice of mounting a loud and powerful engine in the middle of the coupe's low-slung body. In the case of the 2015 Huracán, that mill is a new, direct injection, 5.2-liter V-10 that produces 610-hp at a sky-high 8250 rpm and reaches its peak torque of 413 lb-ft at 6500 rpm. That's an increase of 48 horses and 15 lb-ft compared to the top-spec Gallardo LP570-4. Bam.
