Incidentally, the Huracan’s name, intended, no doubt to capture something of its storming performance, comes, as the Lamborghini tradition has it, from the world of bull-fighting.
It recalls the bull Huracan, which, according to Lamborghini “fought in Alicante in August 1879, showing his unrelenting character and remaining defiant and invincible, thus entering into the legend of fighting bulls’ history.”
The Lamborghini Huracan will be shown to the general public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2014, with the first deliveries to customers taking place at around the same time. There’s no news on UK prices yet but if the Gallardo is any guide, don’t expect much, if any, change from £150,000.
