Everything you need to know about the 2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4

While dozens of new cars are unveiled every year, the arrival of a new Lamborghini is something special.

The Sant’Agata Bolognese-based automaker likes to take its time with new models. Its best-selling Gallardo was on the market for 10 years, an eternity in the car world.

So the new 2015 Huracán LP610-4 is poised to make quite a splash. It broke cover back in December, and is set to make its official debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, Lamborghini decided to release all of the important details of this new supercar for enthusiasts to drool over. Enjoy.

Styling

As the baby in the lineup, the Huracán has a smaller footprint than the existing Aventador, but its styling takes cues from both that car and the Gallardo-based Sesto Elemento concept.

The result is a car with essentially the same proportions as the Gallardo, but with sheetmetal that looks like it’s been massaged by Jaws.

While there are plenty of curved surfaces, what really stands out are the many sharp, angular lines, particularly the headlights and the multi-faceted bodywork that surrounds the windows and melts into an air intake. 

The theme continues with the interior, which features hexagonal air vents and a steering wheel with a hexagonal center. The center console looks like the control panel for a fighter airplane, complete with an engine start button designed to look like a missile arming switch.

Powertrain

Yet this sleek supercar is propelled not by a jet engine, but by a modified version of the 5.2-liter V10 from the Gallardo. 

Among the improvements is a new system called Iniezione Diretta Stratificata (IDS), which combines conventional fuel injection with direct injection.

Lamborghini says the Huracán will do 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, 0 to 124 mph in 9.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 202 mph.

The engine produces 610 horsepower (hence the LP610-4 designation) and 413 pound-feet of torque. Thanks in part to the IDS system, Lamborghini says it will also get 19 mpg.

Backing up the V10 is a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission called Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF).

This should provide fast shifts worthy of a supercar like the Huracán, but but also more civility than the Aventador’s single-clutch gearbox, which reportedly features shifts that are as violent as they are fast.

In “Corsa” (Italian for “race”) mode, the LDF transmission will feature launch control, and a program that allows the transmission to pre-select gears for even quicker gear changing.

Finally, an all-wheel drive system (the “4” in LP610-4) helps get the power to the ground. the default torque split is 30/70 front/rear, but the Huracán can send up to 50 percent of its power to the front wheels, or 100 percent to the back wheels, depending on conditions.

Chassis

That powertrain won’t have much weight to move. The Huracán’s chassis is an aluminum spaceframe, with a rear bulkhead and transmission tunnel made from carbon fiber.

Lamborghini previously quoted the Huracán’s dry curb weight at 3,135 pounds.

Like most modern performance cars, it also comes with modern electronics, including Lamborghini Dynamic Steering variable-ratio electronic power steering, and magnetorheological dampers.

These adjustable components are controlled through a system called ANIMA, which stands for Adaptive Network Intelligent MAnagement.

That may sound like the asset management software for an envelope manufacturer (it’s also Italian for “soul”), but it features three modes – Strada, Sport, and Corsa – that control the behavior of the engine, transmission, all-wheel drive, and suspension.

Also helping to keep the driver in control are the brakes: carbon-ceramic rotors that measure 15 inches in front, and 14.2 inches in back.

Performance

With all of that technology, Lamborghini has clearly made an effort to replace the circa-2003 Gallardo with something more current, but what really matters is the performance.

Lamborghini says the Huracán will do 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, 0 to 124 mph in 9.9 seconds, and reach a top speed of 202 mph.

That’s 0.2 second faster to 62 mph than a Ferrari 458 Italia, which has an identical top speed to the raging bull. 

In addition, Lamborghini says the Huracán is significantly faster around Italy’s Fiorano test track than the outgoing Gallardo LP560-4 but, then again, it should be.

Price

Lamborghini has not announced U.S. pricing for the Huracán, but it the European base price is reportedly 201,000 euros, or around $275,000.

Deliveries are set to begin later this year, but Lamborghini has already received over 700 orders for the car. If you want one, start planning that bank robbery now.

You can now lease a Hyundai EV on Amazon—and snag that $7,500 tax credit
amazon autos hyundai evs lease ioniq 6 n line seoul mobility show 2025 mk08

Amazon has changed how we shop for just about everything—from books to furniture to groceries. Now, it’s transforming the way we lease cars. Through Amazon Autos, you can now lease a brand-new Hyundai entirely online—and even better, you’ll qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit if you choose an electric model like the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, or Kona EV.
Here’s why that matters: As of January 2025, Hyundai’s EVs no longer qualify for the tax credit if you buy them outright, due to strict federal rules about battery sourcing and final assembly. But when you lease, the vehicle is technically owned by the leasing company (Hyundai Capital), which allows it to be classified as a “commercial vehicle” under U.S. tax law—making it eligible for the credit. That savings is typically passed on to you in the form of lower lease payments.
With Amazon’s new setup, you can browse Hyundai’s EV inventory, secure financing, trade in your current vehicle, and schedule a pickup—all without leaving the Amazon ecosystem.
It’s available in 68 markets across the U.S., and pricing is fully transparent—no hidden fees or haggling. While Hyundai is so far the only automaker fully participating, more are expected to join over time.
Pioneered by the likes of Tesla, purchasing or leasing vehicles online has been a growing trend since the Covid pandemic.
A 2024 study by iVendi found that 74% of car buyers expect to use some form of online process for their next purchase. In fact, 75% said online buying met or exceeded expectations, with convenience and access to information cited as top reasons. The 2024 EY Mobility Consumer Index echoed this trend, reporting that 25% of consumers now plan to buy their next vehicle online—up from 18% in 2021. Even among those who still prefer to finalize the purchase at a dealership, 87% use online tools for research beforehand.
Meanwhile, Deloitte’s 2025 Global Automotive Consumer Study reveals that while 86% of U.S. consumers still want to test-drive a vehicle in person, digital tools are now a critical part of the buying journey.
Bottom line? Amazon is making it easier than ever to lease an EV and claim that tax credit—without the dealership hassle. If you're ready to plug in, it might be time to add to cart.

Watch from the passenger seat as the new Porsche 911 GT3 sets a record at the Nürburgring

If you've ever wanted to race at top speeds around one of the most iconic racetracks in the world, then now is your chance. A new Porsche 911 GT3 just set a record for the fastest time around the Nürburgring in a road car with a manual transmission, knocking almost 10 seconds off the previous best time. And Porsche has released a video of the run filmed from the cockpit, so you can experience the thrills for yourself.

The record was set by legendary driver and Porsche brand ambassador Jörg Bergmeister at the wheel of a 911 GT3 with the Weissach package, setting a time of 6:56.294. That's 9.5 seconds ahead of the previous record set by the Dodge Viper ACR in 2017 -- though there's some math involved in these time calculations as the track was reconfigured in 2019.
