Lamborghini Unveils Electrifying Powertrain for Huracan Successor
Can you handle the electrifying power of Lamborghini’s upcoming Huracan successor?
Say goodbye to the sonorous V10s of the past as Lamborghini introduces an electrified V8 powertrain for its upcoming Huracan replacement. With almost 700kW of power, this new beast is set to redefine the driving experience.
Lamborghini has finally unveiled the heart of their much-anticipated Huracan successor, and it’s nothing short of electrifying. The upcoming supercar, codenamed LP634 and possibly named Temerario, will feature a powerful 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with a flat-plane crankshaft. This custom-made engine alone is capable of producing an impressive 588kW of power and 730Nm of torque. But wait, there’s more! The Huracan replacement also boasts an axial electric motor positioned between the V8 engine and the dual-clutch automatic transmission.
This electric motor provides an additional boost, delivering up to 110kW of power and 300Nm of torque. When combined with the outputs of the V8 engine, the new supercar’s total power output reaches a mind-blowing 698kW, with a torque of 1030Nm. That’s considerably more power than the peak outputs of the current Huracan’s 5.2-litre V10 engine in STO guise. The hybrid system takes performance to new heights, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience.
Now, you might be wondering if these upgrades come at the cost of losing the iconic engine notes that Lamborghini supercars are known for. Fear not! Lamborghini assures enthusiasts that the characteristic engine sound remains intact. They’ve carefully designed the new V8 powerplant to deliver a unique and distinctive aural experience. According to the carmaker, the engine’s characteristics intensify as the revs increase, creating a crescendo of volume and frequency that culminates in an immersive sensory experience. Even with the addition of turbochargers, the symphony of sound continues.
As for the release date, mark your calendars for August 2024. Lamborghini plans to unveil their new supercar at Pebble Beach, and it’s sure to captivate car lovers around the world. The deliveries are expected to begin in 2025, joining Lamborghini’s lineup of hybrid models.
