Huracan

So you have finally decided to pull the trigger on the Baby Lambo but can’t figure out which one to get? Here are the finest Huracans ever made and all you need to know about them.

Which Huracan is Right For You

Lamborghini has confirmed that the Huracan’s successor will be powered by a 10,000 RPM V8 making its outgoing NA brother even more desirable.

Huracan has been in production for more than a decade and came in plenty of trims like EVO, STO, Performance, and Tecnica.

If you are going to daily your Huracan the EVO seems to be the right one as it has a bit more relaxed driving manners compared to its stiffer STO and Tecnica stablemates.

The lattermost is also the quickest Lamborghini Huracan ever made with a GPS verified 60 mph of 2.61 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 10.23 seconds.

Whereas if you are planning for track days, the STO and Performante versions come with plenty of downforce-producing bits that will help you shave every last millisecond possible.

Purists will enjoy the fact that Lambo Huracan has been offered in RWD variants i.e. STO, Technica, and EVO. All Lambo Huracans come with a DCT gearbox and an sweet 8000 rpm 5.2 L odd firing V10 producing between 510 and 640 hp.


Common Issues with The Baby Lambo

I decided to take a dive into online community of genuine Lambo owners to see if there were any major issues that a used Huracan buyer should be aware about.

To my surprise there were none. Most Huracan owners at Lamborghini Talk were pretty pleased with the way Huracan is built.

There weren’t any major issues related to engine gearbox or chassis. The typical corrosion which plagues most of the cars hasn’t really bothered Huracan thanks to a bucket load of CFRP and Carbon Fibre used in its construction.

I decided to take a even deeper dive and found that most common problems with Huracan are-

  • Sensor glitches related to the Crankshaft Position Sensor, Ride height sensor, and bottom fuel float sensor. Luckily, all these can be easily identified via the check engine light that comes on during sensor malfunction
  • The second most common yet minor niggle was loose exhaust tips and faulty hydraulics on Spyder models. The lattermost was often replaced by Lambo under warranty
  • The final issue is not exactly a problem but should be taken into consideration when purchasing a used Lamborghini Huracan.

    The CCB Brakes and Tyres are pretty expensive to replace and can cost around $25,000 for the brakes alone. CCBs last way longer than steelies on streets but on track they don’t tend to deteriorate much faster.

How Much Is A Used Lamborghini Huracan?

The most affordable used Huracan are the 580-2 versions (I am using the term affordable in a rather loosey-goosey sense) at around $180,000 to $220,000.

While stepping up to late model 610-4 version will cost you around $250,000. Niche like STO, Tecnica, Sterrato are around $400,000 due their limited production run.
