The new Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica is positioned between the entry-level rear-wheel drive Huracan Evo and the wild Huracan STO. Lamborghini says the Huracan Tecnica has been engineered to be fun on both track and road.
Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr, speaking at the reveal in New York said,“The car is really the perfect bridge between the standard EVO and the STO. The STO is purely for the track and the EVO is the daily use car,”
Essentially, the Hurcan Tecnica is based on the entry-level Evo, but features the higher-specced engine from more potent Huracan derivatives. The screaming naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 in the Tecnica punches out 470 kW and 565 Nm – the sameas the hardcore STO. Lamborghini says this engine has been enhanced for a sharper sound at high revs.
A technical highlight is Lamborghini’s LDVI (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata) management system that controls the rear-wheel steering, torque vectoring and traction control to achieve its lofty dynamic performance.
All that shove is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and the Italian supercar brand claims its new product can run from 100 kph in just 3.2 seconds and will top out at a claimedspeed of 325 kph.
Mohr added, “You can say [the Huracan Tecnica] has three different soulsperformance, fun to drive, and lifestyle.
A track weapon for the weekend, anyone? The Tecnica might be for you.
Visually, you can spot the newcomer with its fairly restrained body kit. There’s no craziness, unlike the Huracan STO, but there are some really cool design elements taken directly from some of the concepts and special limited-edition models. The headlight unit comes straight from the Sian, while the side window is similar to that of the Essenza SCV12, for example.
At the rear, there’s a lightweight carbon fibre cover for the engine, new-look exhausts and a rear diffuser. The rear spoiler is said to give a 35% enhancement in downforce in comparison to the Evo. Interestingly, drag is reduced by 20%, which means a higher top speed.
The Huracan Tecnica is nota limited-edition either, so best you start saving. As far as product life-cycles go, the Huracan is approaching its end of life, so we’re expecting a few interesting surprises in the next year or so.
