The December announcement of Lamborghini's replacement for the Gallardo was a nice early Christmas present for this fan of bullish supercars. Today, at the 2014 Geneva auto show, we finally meet the 2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 in the flesh.
Supercar, super specs
Lamborghini gave us the full scoop on the Huracán's specs when it was announced earlier, but here's a quick refresher. It'll hit 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, goes on to 124 mph (200 kph) in 9.9 seconds, and go on to a 201 mph top speed.
Just aft of the cabin is a mid-mounted 5.2-liter engine that produces 610-horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. Air enters the 10 cylinders via natural aspiration and fuel is added with Lamborghini's new Iniezione Diretta Stratificata (IDS) system, a combination of direct and port injection systems.
That power makes its way to all four 20-inch wheels via a fully electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system, but not before being multiplied by a 7-speed, dual-clutch Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) gearbox. Paddle shifters flanking the flat-bottomed steering wheel allow the driver to quickly smack upshifts and downshifts. The driver will also be able to select from three three driving dynamics modes (Strada, Sport, and Corsa) which will progressively sharpen the behavior of the gearbox, engine, exhaust, all-wheel drive system, and electronic stability control.
Bringing the Lambo to a stop are standard carbon-ceramic brakes with monobloc aluminum calipers: 6-piston units up front and 4-pots out back.
