2023 BUYER'S GUIDE

LAMBORGHINI

HURACÁN TECNICA This is essentially an Huracán Evo combined with the wild, track-scorching STO, making it the best Huracán of them all. Compared to the already impressive rear-drive Huracán Evo, the Tecnica gets a 35 percent increase in rear downforce while cutting drag by 20 percent, plus a new brake-cooling system and a revised exhaust for even better engine sound. Its 5.2-liter V-10 from the STO makes 631 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque, an extra 29 hp and 4 lb-ft compared to the Evo RWD.

This Huracán includes a refreshed design with new aerodynamic functionality that stretches the car by a hair more than 2.4 inches. Up front, it sports a new facial signature, incorporating some of the newer Y-shaped “Ypsilon” Lamborghini design language introduced on the Terzo Millennio concept car. The new fascia creates its own unique air curtain not found on any previous Huracán, pulling air through intakes under the headlights, which also feature the Ypsilon design. Other aero revisions improve brake cooling and save some life in the pads, and at the rear, a new wing contributes to the downforce bump versus the Huracán Evo RWD while looking considerably more subtle than the STO’s towering spoiler. There are also new deflectors added to the underbody. The Tecnica incorporates unique calibration for the rearwheel steering, torque-vectoring, traction control, and suspension setups. The price starts at $244,795.
