2016 Blue Lamborghini Huracan Gallardo Petrol 5204 cc; supercar roadster travelling to Hoghton Towers performance car show, Bolton UK
The first engine to be developed by Lamborghini after the Audi acquisition was the V10 powering 2003’s all-wheel drive, Luc Donckerwolke-designed Gallardo. In launch form the Gallardo produced 493hp at 7,800rpm, rising to 513hp in the 2005 SE, to 552hp in the bored-out direct fuel injection LP560-4 of 2008 (‘LP’ standing for Longitudinale Posteriore, referring to the engine’s inline crank/driveshaft format and its position in the car), and finally to 562hp in various runout LP570-4 Gallardos. In 2014 the Gallardo was replaced by the car we’re looking at in today’s buying guide, the Huracan. Or, to be pedantic, the Huracán, which is the Spanish word for hurricane. In English this is usually pronounced with the emphasis on the ‘hura’ bit. A Spanish person would drop the ‘h’ and emphasise the ‘can’. However you say it, every Huracan was part-built by Audi in Neckarsulm before transportation to Sant'Agata Bolognese for final assembly by Lamborghini. Not surprising really as just about everything you can't see on the Huracan is more or less pure R8 V10 Plus.
