New Lamborghini Huracan revealed as a 610-hp raging bull

The Gallardo: The best selling Lamborghini in history, with over 14,000 sold since its birth almost a decade ago. But despite a stellar run, all good things must come to an end. And then be replaced by something else named after an ancient Spanish fighting bull — like the new Lamborghini Huracán.

Under the hood it's business as usual: the 5.2-liter V-10 from the Gallardo remains, but power is pushed 58 ponies to 610 hp, while torque improves 15 lb.-ft. to 413. Thanks to its electronic all-wheel drive system, the Huracán sprints to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 201 mph. Tipping the scales at 3,134 lbs., the chassis features a composite aluminum and carbon-fiber mix, and arrives with carbon-ceramic brakes as standard. Magnetic dampers are optional; a wise selection for those who enjoys the ability to walk after a weekend drive. A specially designed seven-speed dual clutch transmission promises the usual Lamborghini SNAP, while perhaps displaying a little more civility than the single clutch transmissions in the outgoing Gallardo and current Aventador.
