Lamborghini after all the hype and hoopla has revealed the successor of its best selling model Gallardo, the mighty Huracán.

Huracán Front Three-Quarters |
Keeping up with the tradition Lamborghini named its car 'Huracán' after a bull that fought in Alicante in 1879. With its triple meaning of storm, Mayan god, and raging bull, this might be the coolest car name ever.
Initial specs do make this car the worthy successor of 'Gallardo' which has probably raked up half of the sales for Lamborghini since 1963!

Huracán Rear End |
Power is sourced from the same 5.2-liter V10 engine as the Gallardo’s. However, thanks to the IDS (Iniezione Diretta Stratifica), Lambo’s way of combining direct and indirect gasoline injections, the Huracán produces 610 hp at 8,250 rpm and 560 Nm of torque. What this means is that the Huracán does 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, and 0-200 km/h in 9.9 seconds. Top speed? In excess of 325 km/h.

Huracán Side View |
Lamborghini new found design philosophy making their cars look like jet fighters has been borrowed in Huracán too, with protruding lines making the car look voluptuous, sexy, complimenting the razor sharp headlight and tail light design. The body weight is 1422 kg owing to the new hybrid chassis marrying carbon-fiber and aluminium making the car light and nimble like a trademark Lamborghini would be.

Huracán's Interior |
Huracán gets jet fighter feel in the interior too with Start and Stop button getting missile activating toggle switch type theme, the instrument cluster is displayed in a 12.3 inch TFT screen.
The car will make its public debut in Geneva Motor Show 2014 and will be privately showcased to potential customers around 60 cities beginning in January.
So start planning of robbing a bank or marrying a rich girl if you want to get your hands behind this voluptuous beauty's steering wheel!
