ow the hell do you deny something as exquisitely barbaric as Lamborghini's V10? Unless you suffer from acute musical anhedonia, it's not possible. The sound this naturally aspirated 5.2-litre motor makes is too rich, resonant, gut-wringing.
After a while in its company and numerous forays to 8500rpm under your belt (sometimes you ambush the redline, flaring up to it; but sometimes you linger for the final stretch, revelling in the aural chaos), you start to wonder how many get-out-of-jail-free cards it has handed out over the years.
Not every Huracán, or the Gallardo before it, has been a dynamic delight. In the old days, the cars were flat-footed, and even the current Huracán Evo AWD feels synthetic in direction changes. Yet each and every one of them has had that undeniable mid-mounted charm-dispenser to fall back on.
H What makes the Huracán Tecnica interesting is that, of all the V10 'baby Lambos' launched since the Gallardo made its debut in 2003, this is the one that should be least engine reliant on its phenomenal to win hearts, minds and wallets and therefore also the least afraid of rivals in Maranello and Weissach.
