First Look: Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4


After all the teasers with the private viewing of the new sexy bull in the ally since early this year, JH Italia Sdn Bhd finally decided to unleash their machine to the media on August 23rd 2014. Yes, the Lamborghini Huracán (pronounced "who-ra-kan") is finally here. The name itself is a personal favorite, "Huracán" which means Hurricane in Spanish. I love the name "Hurricane" due to boxer, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and a favorite song from Scorpions "Rock you like a Hurricane". But this bull's name was inspired inspired by a Spanish fighting bull, just like the brothers before this. The bull,  a Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed that is known to be incredibly courageous and aggressive fought back in 1879.  Huracán is also the name of the Mayan god of elements. Now you just had a quick history lesson.

Walking into Marble 8, I couldn't help noticing the setting of the whole place was as if the whole place was made for Lamborghini. I'm still wondering if it's actually an exclusive place for Lamborghini owners, or the owner also happens to be a Taurus or was it just extremely well set for the launch. Help me on this guys.



Unveiling of the "Baby Bull"
Now that's just sexy



For those of you who didn't know, The Huracán replaces the ever Gallardo LP 560-4, and a worthy replacement indeed. Bringing forward the same 5.2-litre V10 engine but tuned to produce 610 horses at 8250 rpm and 560 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. Jizz indeed.

Interior vise, the car is a just stunning, obviously since you'll be paying about RM 2.1 mil (est. with duties) for this bull. Everything I saw in there gave me a boner.



 What does that red button do? Well that red swith toggles the driving mode in Strada (normal) and Corsa (track). Each changes the way the car behaves from gearbox, engine, exhaust sounds, four wheel drive system as well as the ESC. Corsa's sound though might scare away any nightmares you have.

The Lamborghini Huracán also claims fuel efficiency at 12.5l/ 100km, but with a car like this, no one gives a damn about fuel.

So here's a quick stats that you would want to know:

0-100km/h : 3.2 secs
0-200km/h : 9.9 secs
Top speed : 325 km/h
Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual
Before I end, like everything else, here's a shameless selfie with my brotha from another motha and that raging bull that runs on tracks instead of farms. Cheers.
