The Lamborghini Huracan first hit the pavement in 2014, and though it is nearing 10 years in production, the supercar has lost none of its Lambo luster. The Huracan serves as the replacement for Gallardo, and as Lamborghini looks to hybridize and electrify its lineup in the coming years, it will serve as the swan song for Lambo’s highly-touted naturally aspirated V-10 engine. But Lamborghini has shown it is far from done with its V-10 supercar.
In fact, with the debut of the all-terrain-ready Huracan Sterrato, the Huracan lineup — which also features the track-attacking STO, the ultra-performance Tecnica and Spyer convertibles — is perhaps more exciting than ever. No matter the model, the Huracan delivers on the expectations for Lamborghini — loud, fast, and thrilling to both pilot and view.

2022 Lamborghini Huracan Performance And Capability
For 2022, the Lamborghini Huracan is offered in the following models:
- Huracan Tecnica
- Huracan STO
- Huracan EVO
- Huracan EVO RWD
- Huracan EVO Spyder
- Huracan EVO RWD Spyder
Though several models have different outputs and performance kit, the base engine of the Huracan remains constant throughout the lineup. The Huracan is powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10 cranking out between 602 to 631 horsepower and 413 to 443 pound-feet of torque. No matter the model, the Huracan’s V-10 is paired with a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.
Though its difficult to consider any Lamborghini base, the 2022 Huracan lineup starts with the rear-wheel drive EVO, offering 610 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 413 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm. The RWD EVO will zip from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 202 mph.
The Spyder version of the RWD EVO offers similar performance specs with open-air driving, though 0-60 takes an additional 0.2 seconds and top speed is a measly one mph lower. The AWD EVO is stupendously quick off the line with a 0-60 time of just 2.5 seconds with a 10.4-second quarter-mile time at 135 mph.
The all-wheel drive Huracan EVO Coupe and Spyder up the power ante to 631 horsepower and offer 30 more pound-feet of torque than the RWD version. The Coupe will run 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the retractable-roof-fitted Spyder, with both models topping out at 202 mph.
The rear-wheel-drive Tecnica and lightweight, AWD STO models are both tuned for track-attacking, bumping the already powerful V-10 up to 631 horsepower with 416 pound-feet of torque. The STO and Tecnica will zip from a stop to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds.
The limited-edition Tecnica features track-day performance elements like a recalibrated Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI), essentially the technological brain of the Huracan controlling performance based on a myriad of factors, tuned driving modes, sportier suspension tuning, rear-wheel direct steering, an brake cooling improvements.
The STO is effectively a racecar for the street as it is more lightweight, providing a weight-to-power ratio of 2.09 kilos-per-hp, with a slew of aerodynamic upgrades not only improving performance but also providing even more dramatic looks.
Unlike the Lambo’s of decades past, the Huracan puts a premium on handling and drive quality as it does outright speed. With an electrically adjustable suspension and various drive modes from Strada (effectively “comfort” mode) to the “Corsa” race mode, the Huracan can either be a supercar that can soak up highway miles or a beastly performance machine that can challenge lap records.
When dishing out well over $200,000 for a V-10-powered supercar, fuel economy is likely not a major concern for Huracan buyers. That’s a good thing, as the Lambo is rated by the EPA for just 15 combined mpg (13 city/18 highway) no matter if it’s rear- or all-wheel drive.

Exterior Styling
Lamborghini is synonymous with dramatic and aggressive styling, and the Huracan certainly isn’t a model that messes with that formula. No matter the model, the Huracan looks like the kind of bully who would dump your books just for the fun of it. All models feature an ultra-imposing front end with angular intakes, a rapidly sloped hood, low greenhouse, intakes behind the B-pillar and ahead of the rear wheels, mid-mounted dual exhausts, rear louvres, and various takes on a rear spoiler.
The Huracan is also offered with a staggering selection of exterior paint colors, including matte, metallic, pearl, solid, and special metallic finishes. The available palette includes a bevy of options for orange, blue, white, yellow, brown, gray, black, red, green, and purple hues.
The STO is the most distinctive of the Huracan lineup. It includes a “cofango,” combining the hood and front fender into one component, with new air ducts on the hood to improve cooling and downforce, a revised rear hood design with integrated air scoop, a shark fin to improve dynamic abilities during cornering, and an adjustable rear wing. In total, the airflow efficiency is improved by 37 percent with an increase of 53 percent in downforce over the Huracan Performante, Lamborghini claims. The Performante is among the top-10 fastest production cars around the Nurburgring with a time of 6:52:01.

Interior Quality And Technology
With Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program, you can tailor the upholstery, colors, and some features of the interior to suit personal tastes. For example, the upholstery can be trimmed in a myriad of colors from orange, to dark blue, brown, yellow, black, red, and green.
Regardless of model, all Huracans are fitted with heavily bolstered front seats, switchgear that wouldn’t look out of place in a military fighter aircraft, an 8.4-inch touchscreen ingrained into the center stack, and steering-wheel mounted turn signals. Despite its outward appearance, the Huracan provides surprisingly good amount of passenger space and outward visibility. Despite its supercar status, the Huracan isn’t without basic amenities , as features like USB charging ports, Apple CarPlay connectivity, and other features are included.
However, the Huracan isn’t exactly practical, unlike some of its supercar ilk. The trunk holds just 3.5 cubic feet of stuff, which can easily be filled by an overnight bag, and interior storage is almost non-existent.
2022 Lamborghini Huracan Pricing And Availability
All 2022 Huracan models are currently available, though the STO and Tecnica will have a limited production run. Pricing for the 2022 Huracan is as follows:
Model | Price |

Huracan EVO RWD | $213,104 |
Huracan EVO Spyder | $233,961 |
Huracan Tecnica | $239,000 |
Huracan STO | $331,533 |
With customization, of course, buyers should expect to pay more than the base price.
Main Competition
Despite its performance pedigree and eyebrow-raising specs, the Huracan is far from alone in the supercar segment where it competes with the likes of the Ferrari F8, Aston Martin DB11, Porsche 911 Turbo S, and McLaren 720S. When it comes to what matters in a supercar, performance and drama, the Huracan certainly is the most aggressive looking of the bunch, and subjectively, better sounding.
However, the 911 Turbo S has slightly more power and will rocket from 0-60 mph in just 2.1 seconds, nearly a full second faster than most Huracan models. The 911 is also more affordable than most Lambo models with the coupe starting at $217,000, and it is far more practical as well.
The McLaren 720S has similar performance to the Huracan though it has a whopping 710 horsepower, though it is far less striking either inside or out. The V-8-powered Ferrari F8 Tributo also puts out 710 horsepower, though its about on par with the Huracan in a straight line while costing significantly more.
Ultimately, in a market where drama sells almost as much as the spec sheet, the Huracan is still an incredible supercar option no matter what model it lines up against. And with the Raging Bull rapidly heading toward the end of its V-10 era, the Huracan is a hugely impressive send-off.
