Lamborghini Huracán scripts a success story soon after December reveal

Heir to Lamborghini’s best-selling Gallardo, the Huracán, has created a trail for itself, probably one more illustrious than the Gallardo. The Huracán has secured for itself 700 orders during a, as yet unfinished, month-long private preview tour worldwide for VIP clients. People worldwide seemed to have loosened their purse strings to welcome this hurricane into their garages.

The car was revealed to the world on December 20, 2013. Huracán is Spanish for 'hurricane', but it is also the name of an ancient Mayan god of thunder and - you guessed it - a fighting bull, this one recorded in Alicante history way back in 1879.

The Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 is powered by a 610-horsepower 5.2-litre normally-aspirated V10 engine, which allows it to reach a top speed of 325 kmph and accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.2 seconds, placing it at the top of its segment.

A candidate for 'star of the show' at Geneva Motor Show 2014, it will be the first vehicle to be revealed at the exhibition, during a press conference given by President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann, scheduled for March 4, 2014.
