Although it may seem like the tale of the Huracan has concluded, the reality tells a different story. The V10-powered supercar remains in production, but Lamborghini plans to retire it in the coming months to make way for its successor, which will incorporate partial electrification akin to its larger counterpart, the Revuelto.
However, acquiring a brand-new Huracan from a local Lamborghini dealership is an impossible feat, as the entire production allocation has been sold out. This scarcity likely extends to any rumored swansong awaiting release.
Consequently, the only recourse for enthusiasts seeking a Huracan is to turn to the second-hand market. Here, a variety of options exists, ranging from the original models to the latest special editions. Pricing fluctuates based on rarity, preservation quality, and mileage, and obtaining one at a bargain is unlikely.
Every available Huracan commands a substantial six-digit price tag, assuming it is drivable. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the depicted example, as it fell victim to a fire. The blaze ravaged most of its exterior and cockpit, leaving only a few salvageable body panels, mechanical components, and potentially usable wheels.
As for its powerplant, a 5.2-liter V10, its condition remains uncertain after the incident. This naturally aspirated engine boasted 580 metric horsepower, equivalent to brake horsepower and kilowatts, along with 398 pound-foot (540 Nm) of torque. Thus, the model in question is likely the LP 580-2, a rear-wheel-drive supercar paying homage to its predecessor, the Gallardo LP 550-2.
Revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2015, Lamborghini emphasized the Huracan LP 580-2’s rear-wheel-drive layout and enhanced chassis, boasting superior torsional stiffness compared to the Gallardo.
Weighing in at 3,062 pounds (1,389 kg) dry, with a 40-60% weight distribution, and featuring a revamped steering setup for enhanced cornering, the LP 580-2 targeted a niche of driving enthusiasts valuing engagement over raw power.
Encountering such damaged high-performance vehicles, especially those beyond salvaging like the depicted example, is always disheartening. Nonetheless, salvaging certain components remains viable, which motivated a cycle parts to acquire it.
