LAMBORGHINI SCORES A PERFECT (V)10!

Is this the best ever V10 model from the Raging Bull? It sure seems like Lamborghini has ticked every box to create a perfect car - from raw power to technology the Huracan Tecnica just seems to get everything right - on track and on road.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT that the Huracan was done with the STO that came out last year – Lamborghini has surprised us with the new Tecnica. The Huracan model line has been around for almost a decade, and in all that time, we have seen the family expand. And with the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, you essentially get not just the model’s last hurrah, but also a V10 winder – one that will be remembered for just being that good! It takes the best of the already bonkers performance topping STO and making it, dare I say, more practical! I am in Valencia, Spain to test this latest Lambo – on both a very challenging circuit, and on the open road. Take all your souls to drive – that is the tagline for this car. What it means is – that no matter the personality you bring on any given day, the car will match your mood and your purpose.

At first glance, the Tecnica comes across as a mere facelift of the Huracan. Not quite! What has changed in the design, justifies calling this a new model. The big change you notice first is the new black plastic element that begins where the wipers are housed and extends into the hood’s metal panel, making it shorter. It gives the windscreen a larger appearance. There is also a Y-shaped design motif akin to the Sian’s DRLs, that’s added to the bumpers. It includes the air intake and travels up the fender below the headlight, and horizontally into the bumper. This is in line with Lamborghini’s general use of the hexagon as a major design structure and gives the face a distinct look. The car’s aerodynamics have been tweaked too, and you also see the hexagon in the alloy wheel pattern and in the tailpipes.
