The Lamborghini Huracán Successor Will Debut on August 16

After months of watching prototypes test across Europe, we finally have official confirmation of the Lamborghini Huracán successor’s debut date. Buried in the brand’s H1 2024 sales announcement, Lamborghini confirmed the new hybrid supercar will arrive on August 16 during the Monterey Car Week festivities.

The unnamed replacement for the Huracán represents a major development for Lamborghini, as it is the first “junior” supercar engineered without heavy influence from Audi since 1998. The Four Rings currently has no plans to produce a combustion sports car as a follow-up to the R8, which left production back in March.

While Lamborghini still plans to produce the Huracán through December, the car’s V-10 won’t be continuing on. We already know that the upcoming model will feature a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, which is based on the 3.8-liter mill in the SC63 LMDh racer. Lamborghini says the flat planer is good for 789 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque, while providing customers with a 10,000 rpm redline. You’ll want to rev as much as you can, with peak power sitting between 9000 and 9750 rpm. The V-10 might be gone, but this new V-8 has the potential to be an even more visceral companion.

The Huracán successor will also feature a plug-in hybrid system similar to the V-12-powered Revuelto. Behind the V-8 will sit the same 8-speed dual-clutch as found in the big car, which comes bolstered by an integrated electric motor. The motor can provide up to 148 hp and 221 lb-ft. Two additional motors are installed at the front axle to provide torque vectoring. While final output figures have yet to be confirmed, CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed that output will exceed 887 hp. For reference, the most powerful Huracán variant “only” provides 631 hp and 417 lb-ft.

We don’t have to wait much longer for the full details about the upcoming supercar from Sant'Agata Bolognese, but it's already shaping up to be an impressive entry. Of course, turbochargers, electric motors, and a battery are certainly going to add weight to the platform, but the insane output might just be enough to counteract the heft. We can’t wait to finally see the next Fighting Bull when it arrives next month.
