Lamborghini's Huracan Successor: Plug-in Hybrid V8 With 10,000 RPM Redline Launches Late '24
Lamborghini's Huracan: Lamborghini has always been synonymous with cutting-edge performance and luxury, and its latest announcement continues this tradition. The Italian carmaker revealed that its next High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), the successor to the famed Huracán, will feature a twin-turbo V8 engine combined with an advanced hybrid system.
Codenamed the Lamborghini 634, this vehicle promises to deliver exceptional power and innovation, reaching a maximum of 10,000 rpm—an impressive feat typically reserved for racing engines. Scheduled for release in late 2024, the 634 is set to be a pivotal model in Lamborghini’s electrification strategy, marking a significant milestone in the 'Direzione Cor Tauri' programme.
Unleashing the Twin-Turbo V8 Hybrid
The heart of the Lamborghini 634 is its revolutionary twin-turbo V8 engine, paired with a sophisticated hybrid system. This powertrain is designed to push the boundaries of performance and efficiency. The V8 engine alone delivers a staggering 739 horsepower at an incredible range of 9,000 to 9,750 rpm, surpassing the most powerful Huracán engine by over 100 hp. Additionally, it boasts a substantial torque of 730 Nm, ensuring rapid acceleration and dynamic handling.
Lamborghini's decision to incorporate a twin-turbo V8 engine is a significant departure from the naturally aspirated V10 engines traditionally used in the Huracán. This change underscores Lamborghini's commitment to embracing modern engineering advancements to enhance performance while meeting stringent emissions regulations.
The Hybrid System: Power Meets Efficiency
The hybrid aspect of the 634 is equally impressive, featuring three electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, initially introduced with the Lamborghini Revuelto. The rear electric motor, positioned between the petrol engine and gearbox, contributes 110 hp and 300 Nm of torque.
