2023 Lamborghini Huracan Interior & Exterior Visuals Review

2023 Lamborghini Huracan EVO TT Interior & Exterior Visuals Review
The 2023 Lamborghini Huracán draws everyone's attention, but it's the way it assaults the driver's senses that makes it special. The main attraction is the 600-plus-hp naturally aspirated V-10 that is mounted in the middle of the exotic-looking Lamborghini. The engine sounds magnificent when revved to its lofty redline, and it helps deliver hilariously quick acceleration. The Huracán can be configured as a coupe or as the Spyder convertible, and both offer rear- or all-wheel drive. While the only way to truly unlock the full potential of its incredible performance is to go to a racetrack, its ride is surprisingly civil when driven on public roads. Just don't expect the Lambo to be a great travel companion due to its limited interior cubby storage. Otherwise, the 2023 Huracán has all the hallmarks of supercar stardom—including a six-figure price tag.

What's New for 2023?
For 2022, Lamborghini adds a new limited-edition model to the lineup. Called the Tecnica, it splits the difference between the standard-issue Evo and track-focused STO. The Huracán Tecnica features a 631-hp V-10, rear-wheel drive, and a fixed steering ratio. It's worth noting that the Tecnica will be the second-to-last Huracán model before Lambo sunsets its mid-engine supercar.

We think the rear-drive Huracán Evo is the most intriguing model, especially with its significant discount and encouragement of tail-out antics. The sheer variety of paint options means the odds are better that few models will look the same, and we'd recommend the added presence that either of the optional 20-inch wheels provide. Inside, we'd go with the Carbon Skin package that makes the cabin look sportier, and we'd choose the more supportive sport seats. Finally, we'd select Life Style and Driver Pack that includes a useful lifting system to help avoid front-end damage, smartphone integration, a cupholder, carbon-ceramic brakes, and adaptive dampers—among other things.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
A naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 is nestled behind the Huracán's cabin, and it exudes a devilish sound whenever it revs towards its 8500-rpm redline. The engine develops 602 horsepower on most rear-drive models, but the rear-drive-only Tecnica and the all-wheel-drive STO have 631 horses. The V-10 pairs with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that snaps off shifts on its own volition or via a set of paddle shifters. The all-wheel-drive Evo coupe we tested ripped from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and cleared the quarter-mile in 10.4 seconds at 135 mph. We also enjoyed a test drive in the convertible Evo Spyder, which proved high performance is always more enjoyable with a bit of theater. Huracáns with all-wheel drive benefit from rear-wheel steering that improves agility. We were mightily impressed with the Huracán's communicative chassis, but its disappointing steering feedback diminished our excitement. Instead, it proved to be a forgiving machine—even when driven around town—that required us to push the limits to be truly fulfilled. We've driven the Tecnica on a racetrack where it proved incredibly capable, but we expect it to entice buyers with its driving manners on public roads.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
No matter whether it's the rear-drive or all-wheel-drive model, the hardtop coupe or the roofless Spyder, every Huracán has the same EPA fuel-economy ratings. That means 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway. We haven't had a chance to subject any variant to our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, so we can't comment on the Lambo's real-world efficiency.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, the Huracán boasts an intricate design that boasts a variety of technical pieces—some for show, most for go. The cabin also can be customized with distinct color choices and different materials options. The supportive seats are bisected by a partially floating center console that incorporates cool toggle switches and an interesting push-button shifter. However, apart from some small door pockets, the Huracán has barely any interior cubby storage. There's also a front trunk that can hold passenger luggage, but only for those who pack light.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The Huracán lacks the driver-assistance technology commonly found on more prosaic vehicles. Instead, this purebred supercar has a host of performance assists that help the driver maintain control at triple-digit speed.

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
While people can buy a Hyundai and get a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty, Lamborghini's much shorter coverage is offset by priceless admiration and adulation of gawking onlookers.
