“End of the Lamborghini Huracán and the V10 engine: Will the brand go fully electric?”

The end of the Huracán will probably also mean the end of the V10 engine.

Lamborghini recently boasted financial results for the first quarter of 2023, which were more than positive. The brand delivered a total of 2,623 vehicles to customers, which is the best result ever. It will probably not surprise anyone that the bestseller position is still defended by the SUV model Urus, of which the brand delivered 1,599 units.

In addition to the positive information, there were also less pleasant ones. The Huracán model, which is behind the Urus in terms of sales, will no longer be ordered by anyone else. The model, which was introduced in 2013 and replaced the Gallardo in the range, is sold out until the end of the planned production.

Although the automaker should already be working on the successor to the Huracán model, it will probably bring a big change. According to Auto Motor und Sport, the novelty should use a twin-turbo supercharged V8 engine, probably related to the drive unit in the Urus model, but supplemented with plug-in hybrid electrification.

The new engine should reportedly be able to spin up to 10,000 revolutions, and thanks to electrification, we can also look forward to lower combined emissions and pure emission-free driving. However, the question arises as to what future awaits the V10 engine after the end of production of the Audi R8 and Lamborghini Huracán.

Recall that the Lamborghini brand is currently undergoing a major transformation, the aim of which is to electrify all models by 2024. In the second half of this decade, the introduction of the first ever purely electric Lamborghini is expected.
