Exterior – A Technical Masterpiece
Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica takes its place as the finale of the V10 series combining performance with a touch of nostalgia. Serving as a counterpart to the track-focused STO, the Tecnica offers a refined yet exhilarating driving experience.
Visually Stunning
For over a decade, the Huracan has captivated with its gorgeous appeal. The Tecnica, dressed in a Blue Astraeus color, pays homage to the god of winds while maintaining an understated elegance that sets it apart from Lamborghini‘s flamboyant reputation. The rear features a spoiler that enhances aerodynamics and provides 35% more downforce compared to the Evo model.
Dynamic Wheels
With 20-inch Y-spoke Damiso wheels, the Tecnica showcases both charm and performance prowess. The center lock design hints at its potential on the track setting the stage for an exhilarating drive.
Interior – Combining Comfort and Sportiness
Within its cockpit, the Tecnica strikes a balance between aggression and comfort. The interior of the car has a special feel with a touch of luxury thanks to the Alcantara upholstery. The optional carbon fiber doors with straps similar to those found in the STO model add a racing touch. If you choose the Sport Seats, you’ll get both comfort and support for a driving experience.
Practicality is not compromised in the Tecnica as it offers a usable front trunk (frunk) with 3.53 cubic feet of space for a weekend getaway. Additionally, you can customize your comfort level by opting for seats with power and heating features. The cabin combines technology like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with the analog thrill provided by the V10 engine.
Raw Power Under the Hood
Speaking of performance, the highlight of the Tecnica is its aspirated 5.2 liter V10 engine that delivers a symphony of power, no less than 631 horsepower and 416 lb-ft of torque. With its roaring sound hitting an 8,500 rpm redline, this car can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph. It conquers the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at a speed of 134.5 mph, truly showcasing the power behind that V10 engine.
Driving Experience and Handling
With power exclusively delivered to the rear wheels and the addition of rear-wheel steering, the Tecnica offers a responsive driving experience. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, combined with high-grip tires ensures acceleration and precise control. The agility, further enhanced by the rear wheel steering, makes the Tecnica a nimble companion when navigating corners.
A Word of Caution
While the Tecnica impresses with its performance capabilities, it’s important for drivers to remain vigilant as there is a possibility of grip losses from the wheels. The different driving modes, ranging from Strada (Street) to Corsa (Track), provide a range of experiences by adjusting suspension and traction control to cater to driving preferences.
A Farewell to V10 Power
Considering both its exclusivity and the impending discontinuation of V10 models, the pricing starting at $239,000 seems insignificant. With our tested Tecnica model priced at $301,372 due to added options, it truly embodies all the characteristics of a top-tier supercar that commands attention while delivering a driving experience.
Final Thoughts
As we say goodbye to the Huracan and eagerly anticipate its successor’s arrival, let us recognize the Tecnica as a testament to Lamborghini’s dedication towards automotive excellence. While it might not appeal to every car enthusiast, its reputation as the driver-focused Huracan with practicality in mind is incredibly impressive. As we bid farewell to the V10 era, the Huracan Tecnica serves as a tribute to performance, luxury, and the sheer excitement of hitting the road.
