Lamborghini has recently revealed that their new brand of cars, called Huracan (Spanish for hurricane), will be released in 2014. The Italian car manufacturer said that Huracan will replace the Gallardo.
The Italian manufacturer trademarked the Huracan name in April 2012—previously associated with the Urus SUV concept shown at Beijing Motor Show last year. It also trademarked Deimos at about the same time.
The new V10-powered supercar is expected to have around 600hp, and feature distinct styling cues from the Aventador.
Lamborghini is expected to reveal the Huracan at next year’s Geneva Motor Show—and prices will start at around £165,000.
However, at first glance the Huracan name appears to be a step away from its tradition of referencing bulls and bullfighting in its nomenclature. But it turns out Huracan was also the name of a famous fighting bull in Mexico, known as ‘the bull of the century’. I think it sounts sound quite appropriate.
