Porsche GT3 rival will sit between STO and EVO
Introducing the Huracan Tecnica, ‘the next-generation rear-wheel drive V10’, and the final form of the baby Lambo supercar, the ‘SIAN’ styled Huracan will sit between the Huracan STO and Huracan EVO and is said to be ‘the best of both worlds’, developed for drivers pursuing driving fun and lifestyle perfection on both road and track.
The Tecnica is the most direct rival yet to the Porsche 911 GT3, and takes its engine from the Huracan STO, with the same power output of 631bhp from the naturally aspirated 5.2L V10, the powertrain delivers 416lb ft of torque at maximum 6,500 rpm and acceleration of 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds, (0.2 seconds slower than the STO), and a top speed of 203mph.
However, at 1397kg’s the new car weights 10kg less than the rear drive Huracan EVO.
The Tecnica incorporates rear-wheel-steering and torque vectoring, alongside a modified version of Lambo’s traction control system and suspension set-up. Depending on the preferred drive modes, there are 3, ‘Strada’, ‘Sport’ and ‘Corsa’, the traction control, torque vectoring and rear-wheel-steering are calibrated to provide a highly differentiated response to each environment.
Lamborghini say that:
In STRADA, the rear-wheel-steering provides stability and manoeuvrability, complemented by the torque vectoring and P-TCS. The engine and gearbox are both tuned for comfortable everyday driving in every setting.
When SPORT mode is selected, maximum driving fun comes from the rear-wheel steering’s enhanced oversteer and the enhanced slip threshold of the P-TCS, while torque vectoring ensures the Tecnica’s agility and responsiveness in the hands of the driver. The highly responsive powertrain sparks at the touch of the accelerator and the seven-speed gearbox provides a tactile and emotive shift.
In CORSA mode, the car’s and driver’s race spirit is awoken: the Tecnica responds to the pilot’s every input with extreme precision, with the naturally aspirated Lamborghini engine’s roar an impassioned reminder of the car’s track talents. The powertrain is calibrated to provide optimized track-oriented throttle response and the fastest gearshifts, with the Tecnica demonstrating maximum precision and agility from all systems via the LDVI, including maximum lateral and longitudinal grip from the torque vectoring and P-TCS respectively.
Added performance from these modes comes with new brake cooling management, with specifically designed cooling deflectors and calliper ducts, delivering more air onto the carbon ceramic disks.
The Huracan Tecnica is clearly distinguishable from its Huracán stablemates, displaying a substantial and refined design alteration, the modified design provides the Tecnica with a fiercer, predatory stance. A powerful, inward-facing front with muscular shoulders meets a the fully carbon fibre hood. A new bumper featuring the Terzo Millennio’s black Ypsilon design, incorporates an air curtain for the first time in a Huracán. A new front splitter, with lower, open slats directing air through the wheels, contributes to improved downforce and cooling. Black at the base of the windscreen increases the lightweight impression.
The car is 6.1 cm longer than the Huracán EVO with a silhouette inspired by the Essenza SCV12. The black of the front Ypsilon feature continues along the flank of the car to the side air intakes, emphasizing the car’s dynamic vitality, while the body-colour roof can also be painted black as an option.
The reshape of the rear, including a new vertical rear glass window gives improved visibility, while a redesigned engine hood in lightweight carbon fibre emphasis V10 heart. The rear also integrates a new bumper with optimized air inlet; diffuser painted in body colour or optional black; and combines new hexagonal exhaust pipes.
The new fixed rear wing completes the unique lines of the Tecnica, its aero design essentially contributes to the 35% improvement in rear downforce compared to the Huracán EVO RWD, as well as ensuring no increase in drag, New Damiso 20” diamond cut wheels, taking inspiration from the Lamborghini Vision GT, sport a hexagonal design and are fitted with Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires.
The interior is identical to that of the Huracan EVO, apart from new interior trim in alcantara specifically for the Tecnica and further exclusive options such as stitching designs and colours and the ‘Tecnica’ motif embroidered into seat bolsters.
A different variation of tailoring and trim available.
When the car arrives expect a price in excess of £200,000
