MARBELLA – With Huracan Lamborghini enters ‘his’ Area 51, that in the second half-century of its history but also – as told ANSA Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO the company from Sant’Agata Bolognese, alluding to the famous military site in Nevada” in an area that we keep very private and from which come many surprises for the future.” The start of production of the new supercar, which takes the place of a true icon which was the Gallardo (sold in 10 years in more than 14 thousand units), represents a very important milestone for Lamborghini, because the” Huracan – stressed Winkelmann – is already a tremendous success, with orders for more than 1,500 cars and a trend that can exceed the 2,000 at the end of 2014.” The most optimistic forecasts that for Huracan and the satisfaction that does not slow down for the Aventador (over 3,000 units sold and 12 months of orders even at 36 months after the launch) are, however, to all the staff at Sant’Agata Bolognese a big commitment: ‘ ‘with the bar continues to rise – said Winkelmann – we work not only to propose and build better products but to anticipate, even with the management of the company, the times will come.” It also confirmed a growing commitment Lamborghini on the environmental front, with the aim of arriving at a company” neutral in CO2 by 2015.”

With the new Huracan, reiterated Maurizio Reggiani, board member with responsibility for research and development,” we wanted to realize a new concept supercar, easy to be understood and used even every day, but capable of high performance on the circuit. A car really chameleon.”

A new course of Lamborghini that can already be seen admiring the Huracan speed: immediately recognizable as a supercar del Toro, this sedan has less aggressive lines and softer, with ‘ ‘sensuality especially in the sides and tail – pointed Filippo Perini, head of Lamborghini design – which is almost feminine.” The dual personality of Huracan stems not only from the prerogatives of the body ‘hybrid’ aluminum and carbon fiber (-10% +50% weight and torsional stiffness) which makes it more precise behavior and also increases the dynamic comfort, but also by the presence of many innovative technological solutions. And ‘the case of the active steering with electronic control, which adapts to your driving style or adaptive suspension (both available on request) with magneto-rheological dampers that vary also depending on the response of the setting of the Soul – Adaptive Intelligent Network Management – one of the positions road, sports, or stroke. In many different driving conditions, traffic of coastal roads around Marbella to ‘pull’ on the Ascari circuit in Ronda, Huracan has been shown to fully satisfy the demands of the pilot, docile and maneuverable at low speeds and gritty and very precise trajectories by race. We appreciate the improved power delivery and torque of the V10 5.2, now with dual fuel injection (direct and indirect) and the unusual dual-clutch gearbox, but also fast fluid in the operation. ” On the trail of Nardo – has unveiled Reggiani – with the same test, Huracan is the fastest lap 2 seconds compared to the best Gallardo.” A progress really sensitive, obtained with important innovations such as improved torque distribution in the four wheel drive layout and upgrading of the braking system. The numbers are impressive – power 610 hp, 560 Nm torque, acceleration 0-100 in 3.2 seconds, the speed massima325 km / h – but what is most striking is that Huracan is perhaps the first supercar capable of ‘obey’ the docility of a compact and mobility when either one of ‘scratch’ with grit and maximum safety when you challenge the search of limits.
