Spy shots of the upcoming successor to the Lamborghini Huracán have emerged, providing a glimpse of what’s to come in 2025.
Scheduled for release in late 2024, this new supercar will feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain. From the recent spy shots, it’s clear that the design will be distinct from its larger sibling, the Revuelto.
The front of the car exhibits notable differences, with slit-like headlights and hexagonal-shaped daytime running lights. Additionally, large intakes are visible on the top of the rear fenders, and overall, the vehicle appears shorter than the Revuelto.
While the previous Huracán and its predecessor, the Gallardo, shared similarities with Audi’s R8 supercar, the Huracán successor is expected to draw inspiration from the Revuelto. This includes the adoption of the V-12 supercar’s carbon-fiber tub. This choice aligns with Audi’s plans for their next supercar, which is likely to be electric.
Lamborghini has confirmed that the Huracán successor will feature the same 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission found in the Revuelto. This transmission, designed by Lamborghini, integrates an electric motor in the Revuelto, and a similar setup is anticipated for the Huracán successor. However, it remains uncertain whether the successor will also incorporate two additional electric motors at its front axle, as seen in the Revuelto.
Reports suggest that the current V-10 engine in the Huracán may be replaced by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 for the internal-combustion aspect of its plug-in hybrid powertrain. This V-8 engine is already utilized in the plug-in hybrid Urus, which is slated for release in the first half of 2024. The Huracán successor will follow later that year, aligning with CEO Stephan Winkelmann’s commitment to electrify Lamborghini’s entire lineup by the end of 2024.
It’s worth noting that the Huracán Sterrato, unveiled in December of the previous year, represents the final iteration of the Huracán and the last regular production model from Lamborghini powered solely by a combustion engine. Lamborghini may continue offering low-volume models exclusively powered by combustion engines, possibly extending beyond the 2024 deadline. However, these models might be limited to track use, similar to the 2020 Essenza SCV12.
