Introduced in 2014 as the successor to the beguiling Lamborghini Gallardo, the mighty Huracán (Spanish for hurricane, appropriately) was - and remains lauded for the accelerative ferocity and guttural symphony of its naturally aspirated V10. That unit has been replaced by a turbo V8 for the new Temerario, enhancing the old 'baby' Lambo's collectability no end. The time to act, you would have to imagine, is now.
The Huracán's 10-cylinder motor is a masterpiece: Lamborghini reworked the 5.2-litre engine from the Gallardo and first-gen Audi R8, fettling its top end and exhaust system to create a blue-blooded mechanical monster.
The boffins at Sant'Agata dialled the Huracán up to 11 in a bid to fend off rivals like the McLaren 650S and Ferrari 488, squeezing out 602bhp for 0-62mph in 3.2sec and a top speed in excess of 200mph.
