2024 Lamborghini Huracán Review, Pricing, and Specs (2024)

Overview

Lamborghini is a brand known for its extroverted styling and brash performance, which is embodied perfectly by the V-10–powered Huracán supercar. With 600-plus horsepower roaring just behind the cabin, the Huracán delivers heart-pounding acceleration with a spine-tingling soundtrack to match. It's just as home on the road as it is on a race track, and in both situations it delivers the razor-sharp handling you'd expect of a six-figure sports car. To turn up the insanity even further, a rally-inspired Huracán Sterrato with a raised suspension, a roof-top snorkel air intake, and special all-terrain tires is ready to do some light off-roading—and in our experience it's hilariously fun. The same can be said of the rest of the Huracán lineup, too, and its boisterous personality and extroverted looks imbue it with a charming outrageousness that rivals from Ferrari and McLaren can't quite match.

What's New for 2024?

There are no significant changes to the Huracán for 2024 but the EVO model is no longer offered as a coupe, now coming exclusively as the droptop Spyder variant. Sadly, the Huracán's final model year will likely be this one. The veteran supercar will be replaced by a new plug-in hybrid model for 2025, which is expected to wear an all-new nameplate.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

Given our experience with the Italian supercar, we'd have to say our model of choice would be the rear-drive Huracán Tecnica. It's an STO-lite of sorts, though its lesser all-out track capability is trumped by its calmer, more road-friendly personality, and greater affordability. The Tecnica is also the only Huracán other than the STO that can be had in a rear-wheel drive configuration. With rear-wheel steering, next-gen aerodynamic components, a revised exhaust system, a new brake cooling system, and the same engine output as the hellacious STO, the Huracán Tecnica is still ferocious but also more at home off the track than an STO could ever be.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

A dry-sumped 5.2-liter V-10 is nestled behind the Huracán's cabin, and it exudes a devilish sound whenever it revs towards its 8500-rpm redline. The engine now develops 631 horsepower in all but the rugged Sterrato model which features a screaming 602-hp version of the V-10. Every Huracán V-10 is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that snaps off shifts under its own volition or at the driver's command via a set of paddle shifters. The all-wheel-drive Evo coupe we tested for the 2020 model year ripped from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and cleared the quarter-mile in 10.4 seconds at 135 mph. We also enjoyed a test drive in the convertible Evo Spyder, which proved its high performance bona fides with ease and adds a bit more theater to the experience. Every Huracán model now comes standard with rear-wheel steering which improves agility even further. Plus, it has a predictive system (called LDVI) that adapts to driver inputs on the fly. While we were mightily impressed with the new Tecnica's communicative chassis and good ride, its steering feedback isn't particularly vivid at normal road speeds. (The STO's is.) Still, the Tecnica proved to be a thrilling road-eater that remains impressive on the track when pushed hard.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The Huracán is rated buy the EPA for 13 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway for a combined rating of 15 mpg. Not that anyone in the market for a brand-new Lambo will care one way or the other. But it's worth noting that all Huracán models are penalized for their low fuel efficiency ratings with a gas guzzler tax. We haven't had a chance to subject any variant to our 75-mph highway fuel economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, so we can't comment on the Lambo's real-world efficiency.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Inside, the Huracán boasts an intricate design that boasts a variety of technical pieces—some for show, most for go. The cabin also can be customized with distinct color choices and different material options. The supportive seats are bisected by a partially floating center console that incorporates cool toggle switches and an interesting push-button shifter. However, apart from some small door pockets, the Huracán has barely any interior cubby storage. There's also a front trunk that can hold luggage, but only for those who pack light.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Unlike most cars, infotainment features are arguably the least interesting thing about a six-figure supercar. Still, Lamborghini outfits the Huracán with an 8.4-inch touchscreen that controls functions such as the audio system, climate settings, and other media content. Along with Apple CarPlay capability, the Lambo gets Amazon Alexa integration that provides voice-control technology that should theoretically reduce distracted driving.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The Huracán lacks the driver-assistance technology commonly found on more prosaic vehicles. Instead, this purebred supercar has a host of performance assists that help the driver maintain control at triple-digit speed or when cornering hard. These myriad features require an engineering encyclopedia to fully explain, but we can say that the Lambo's advanced chassis and sophisticated powertrain are the definitions of high tech and thrilling in action.

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

While people can buy a Hyundai and get a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty, Lamborghini's much shorter coverage is offset by the priceless admiration and adulation of gawking onlookers. The Italian automaker also offers scheduled maintenance packages.

• Limited warranty covers three years or unlimited miles
• Powertrain warranty covers three years or unlimited miles
• No complimentary scheduled maintenance
