Arrivederci, V10! The Lamborghini Huracan Successor Is Getting a V8 Engine As a substitute

It’s, thus, going to be each downsizing and electrification for the successor to the Huracan. Set to be unveiled within the first quarter of this yr and to hit the market towards the top of 2024, the mannequin will be a part of the Raging Bull’s electrified lineup.

The mannequin, which is but unnamed goes to mark the departure from Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V10 engine to a plug-in powertrain, which can combine a brand new V8 energy plant. Lamborghini goes to engineer the V8 in-house as an alternative of utilizing Audi’s 4.0-liter V8.

The technique might be completely different from that chosen by the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based agency for the Urus. The SUV obtained a modified model of Audi’s 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, rated at 641 horsepower (650 PS) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque.

The automotive will get a dramatic design, which might be a transparent indication that it’s considerably associated to the V12-powered plug-in hybrid Revuelto hypercar. The carbon fiber monocoque, the Y-shaped LED mild signature and the hexagonal exhaust might be a part of the plan.

As a substitute of the subtle composites used for the construction of the Revuelto, the Italians will presumably go for aluminum to maintain the entry-level standing and pricing.

But the Revuelto has a powertrain constructed round Lamborghini’s V12 engine. The full system output hits 1,001 horsepower (1,015 PS) and 783 lb-ft (1,062 Nm), all steered to each axles by way of an eight-speed Graziano dual-clutch automated transmission.

The Huracan successor will sit on prime of a shortened platform and be shorter than the 194.8-inch (4,947-millimeter) Revuelto. The final variant of the outgoing Huracan, the Tecnica, is 179 inches (4,597 millimeters) lengthy.

The upcoming mannequin will drop as Lamborghini’s third plug-in hybrid, following within the footsteps of the Revuelto and the electrified Urus SUV, which can arrive this yr with the V8 engine working alongside an electrical motor and a battery pack. We’re but to seek out out if the upcoming PHEV goes to get one or two electrical motors or if each rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive layouts might be obtainable. The all-wheel drive Revuelto has three of them.

What we do know is that the power goes to be saved within the battery pack carried over from the Revuelto, which sports activities a capability of three.8 kWh. The unit will be capable of present an electrical vary beneath 10 miles (16 kilometers). Sharing main parts, each the Revuelto and the Huracan successor will roll off the identical manufacturing line on the plant in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Autocar reviews.
