Renderings of Lamborghini Huracan leaked! And it looks just like we expected

We’ve been hot on the trail of the next entry-level Lamborghini, which will be called the Huracan. And now we’ve found a leaked rendering of the baby Lambo … and it looks, well, just like we expected it.

That’s OK, though, because no Lamborghini ever looks bad.

Just like the Gallardo (pronounced Gee-yardo) it replaces, which looked like a sized-down Murcielago, the Huracan looks like a wee Aventador. Arguably, we would have preferred a bit more of a striking look, like that of the Veneno.

I understand that most carmakers go conservative with their entry-level lines, as to not scare off buyers. If you’re interested in buying a Lambo, though, you’re already a shout-y lunatic. So, why keep the bodylines under the radar?

Oh, are you curious to know what will power the next, newest raging bull? Reports indicate – again, to no one’s surprise – that the Huracan will boast a mid-body-mounted V10, a paddle-shifted transmission, and all-wheel drive. The Huracan will have one change over the Gallardo; it won’t offer a manual transmission.

Lamborghini had been tossing around two other names: Deimos and Cabrera. We think, though, the Lambo brass made the right choice. It’s been building hype around its latest offering with a video campaign. We just hope the car is a lot more fun to drive than these sappy videos are to watch.

As soon as we learn more about the Lamborghini Huracan, we’ll be sure to bring it to you. Believe me; we’re just as excited about it as you are. So check back soon.

Buying the best aftermarket car speakers are important for anyone who spends a lot of time on the road and is currently dealing with a mediocre sound system. One good starting point in the Alpine sale is the 2-way speakers for $104 instead of $130. You get two 2-way speakers with a polypropylene/glass fiber/mica woofer with a specialized rubber surround. There’s a one-inch silk dome tweeter with speakers able to handle up to 80 watts RMS with 240 watts peak power. The grilles aren’t included but the factor ones should be fine for most purposes.

Hyundai Ioniq 9: price, release date, range, and more
Hyundai Ioniq 9 Front

Hyundai has been at the forefront of EV development for a while now, largely thanks to the success of the crossover-sized Hyundai Ioniq 5. But the company is readying another new EV that could be even more popular than the Ioniq 5 -- or at least more desirable in the U.S., the land of big cars.

The upcoming Ioniq 9, previously set to be called the Ioniq 7, will be Hyundai's take on an electric SUV. It will be to Hyundai what the Kia EV9 is to Kia. It will have three rows and carry over design elements from the Ioniq 5.
