2022 Lamborghini Huracán

The 2022 Lamborghini Huracán draws everyone's attention, but it's the way it assaults the driver's senses that makes it special. The main attraction is the 600-plus-hp naturally aspirated V-10 that mounted in the middle of the exotic-looking Lamborghini. The engine sounds magnificent when revved to its lofty redline, and it helps deliver hilariously quick acceleration. The Huracán can be configured as a coupe or as the Spyder convertible, and both offer rear- or all-wheel drive. While the only way to truly unlock the full potential of its incredible performance is to go to a racetrack, it's ride is surprisingly civil when driven on public roads. Just don't expect the Lambo to be a great travel companion due to its limited interior cubby storage.

Engine Performance

A naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 is nestled behind the Huracán's cabin, and it exudes a devilish sound whenever it revs towards its 8500-rpm redline. The engine develops 602 horsepower on rear-drive models and 631 ponies on all-wheel-drive versions and the STO. It pairs with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that snaps off shifts on its own volition or via a set of paddle shifters. The all-wheel-drive Evo coupe we tested ripped from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and cleared the quarter-mile in 10.4 seconds at 135 mph. We also enjoyed a test drive in the convertible Evo Spyder, which proved high performance is always more enjoyable with a bit of theater. Huracáns with all-wheel drive benefit from rear-wheel steering that improves agility. Plus, it has a predictive system (called LDVI) that adapts to driver inputs on the fly. While we were mightily impressed with its communicative chassis, the disappointing steering feedback diminished our excitement.

Fuel Economy

No matter whether it's the rear-drive or all-wheel-drive model, the hardtop coupe or the roofless Spyder, every Huracán has the same EPA fuel-economy ratings. That means 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway. We haven't had a chance to subject any variant to our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, so we can't comment on the Lambo's real-world efficiency.
