Lamborghini announced a new premiere for April 12, hinting at the upcoming Huracan Tecnica, a new version of the baby Lambo that’s expected to be positioned as a tamer variant of the flagship STO. The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica – previously rumored to be called the JV Stradale – has been spied testing in the Arctic Cycle alongside the off-road-style Huracan Sterrato. The cryptic teaser is showing the V10 badge on a carbon-fiber engine cover proving we talking about one of the two already-confirmed Huracan-based models that are coming in 2022 and not one of the two Urus-related debuts.
The Tecnica will be a hardcore version of
the Huracan, sharing many components with the bonkers STO minus the extreme
aero components. It is expected to come with a different bodykit, including an
aggressive front bumper, a rear wing similar to the one used by the
now-discontinued Performante, a large diffuser, a custom engine cover, and a
new set of wheels further distinguishing it from the base-spec EVO.
Under the skin, the Huracan Tecnica will
be very similar to the STO. This means it will be fitted with the same
5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 producing 631 hp and 565 Nm of torque sending power to the rear wheels. The model might not be as track-focused
as the STO but it will most likely retain the carbon-ceramic brakes while it
could get a slightly different suspension tune.
The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica could be a
limited production offering and one of the swan songs of the Huracan range
before the plug-in hybrid successor arrives in 2024. The Tecnica should be
cheaper than the STO which started at US$ 327,838 (pre-tax) in the United States
when it was unveiled back in 2020.
