Lamborghini Huracan successor to get 887hp hybrid twin-turbo V8
By CARSIFU | 23 May 2024BOLOGNA: Lamborghini's upcoming model, code-named 634, will succeed the Huracán in the High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) lineup.
It will feature a twin-turbo V8 engine paired with a hybrid system, including three electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, similar to the one debuted on the Lamborghini Revuelto. The new powertrain will deliver over 887hp.
This all-new engine, developed in Sant’Agata Bolognese, aims to surpass the performance and driving experience of the current Huracán.
The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 offers 789hp between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm, with a maximum engine speed of 10,000 rpm. The engine also delivers 730Nm of torque between 4,000 and 7,000 rpm, providing a progression akin to a racing engine.
The rear electric system, integrated between the engine and gearbox, includes an inverter and an axial electric unit, generating up to 300Nm and 148hp at 3,500 rpm. This system maintains compact dimensions and low weight.
A significant focus was placed on the sound design of the new V8, ensuring a unique and distinctive character.
The engine's sound intensifies at high revs, creating a sensory experience through the vibrations transmitted to the chassis by the flat-plane crankshaft.
The 634's launch is scheduled for 2024, marking a milestone in Lamborghini's "Direzione Cor Tauri" program.
This initiative, aimed at progressively electrifying the brand's range, began in 2023 with the premiere of the Revuelto and will continue with the unveiling of the Urus SE in April 2024.
