Has it already been eight years?
Lamborghini's Huracan was launched to the public in 2014 as a follow-up to its magnetic, best-selling (literally) Gallardo, and immediately won praise for being more than worthy as a successor.
Eight years on, post-mid-life facelift, and with almost as many variants released as you can count on two hands (including perhaps the most brutal road-going car to wear the badge of the Raging Bull), the Tecnica - the latest and likely, last Huracan - is promising to be usable for everyday driving while boasting maximum performance.
"LP640-2": The Huracan Tecnica will boast 640hp (630bhp), sent exclusively to its two rear wheels Lamborghini is calling the Huracan Tecnica "a bridge between worlds to combine performance and beauty". Slotting right in the middle of the current Huracan line-up, the Tecnica will be rear-wheel driven like the EVO RWD, but takes the tuned, naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine from the STO (also shared by the earlier Performante).
That means just over 630bhp, and 565Nm of torque at 6,500rpm sent to the two rear wheels - enough to vault the car from 0 to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds. 200km/h, in turn, will take just 9.1 seconds. The Tecnica can apparently go on to achieve a top speed of 325km/h.
Of course, Automobili Lamborghini has made sure that the car, as the latest Huracan, will stand alone as its own variant with a combination of both major and minute tweaks.
Those Y-shaped air curtains, a first for the Huracan, work wonders in dialling up the visual drama on the Tecnica For starters, the exhaust system for the Tecnica has been revised to evoke "the highest level of emotion" when driving (that naturally aspirated V10 is the star, after all), while a completely redesigned brake cooling system, forcing air directly into the brake discs, will assure "exceptional fun on the track". Tinkering with the aerodynamics of the body has also helped the Tecnica achieve 35% more down-force and 20% less drag than the EVO. In all, the changes applied to the Tecnica have added at least six centimetres in length to the supercar.
Befitting of its performance credentials, the visual drama has also been dialled up on the Tecnica. Y-shaped air curtains (a first for the Huracan) make an already angular face somehow even sharper than before, while the rear has gotten a fixed, high-mounted wing. Oh yes - those twin exhaust pipes are hexagonal here too.
Lamborghini has made tweaks to the interior and infotainment to further set the Tecnica apart As an added unique touch, Lamborghini is also introducing dedicated graphics and enhanced connectivity for the HMI infotainment system, exclusive to the Tecnica.
There was speculation that the unforgiving STO would mark the last of the Huracan, and consequently, of its V10 engine, in light of the growing shadow cast by emissions regulations. But the Tecnica is proving now that Lamborghini isn't ready to let go of its baby just yet - and the motoring world is all the better for it. In the meantime, we'll stay tuned for details on pricing, availability and when it might reach Singapore.
