DESC:
Lamborghini. The name, the word, evokes many things in car enthusiasts all around the globe: Power, performance, speed, insanely wild designs, Lambo doors and more; all reasons why these cars are poster material.
My amendment – call it radical if you want – would see that limit bumped all the way up to $317,847. Not coincidentally, you won’t be surprised to hear, that is the exact MSRP of this beautiful piece of Italian (and German) engineering.
But really, it’s always been thus. Who would have, back in the day, refused a ride in a Countach? Or a Diablo or Murcielago, for that matter? A Miura? Absolutely! Actually, it’s pretty hard to think of even a single Lamborghini that wouldn’t cause a stampede of suddenly eager clients.

To satisfy the never-ending stream of volunteer passengers, we also expect a Lamborghini to steer with the precision of a scalpel and rail around curves as if it were on, well, rails. Oh, there’ll be a few that will carp that the Huracán’s 610 horsepower isn’t quite competitive with the new Ferrari 488’s 661 or the latest McLaren’s not-so-evil 666 horsepower. But anything that hits 100 kilometres an hour in 3.2 seconds and tops out on the scary side of 325 km/h is more than quick enough. Besides, the Lambo remains resolutely naturally aspirated — the McLaren and, yes, even the Ferrari now, are turbocharged — meaning the Huracán’s V10 soundtrack is now just a little more vibrant, just a little more aggressive than either the 488 or the 675LT. Throw in some stiff suspension with huge 20-inch Pirelli P Zeros and you have the recipe for yet another fantastic supercar from Sant’Agata Bolognese.
So, yes, that screaming 5.2-litre V10 still zings to its symphonic 8,500 rpm redline, but it also starts every morning. The interior is still Lamborghini angular, but – and this is really going to help with that business meeting – the passenger accommodations are now as comfortable as a German luxury sedan.
There will be those who read the preceding compliments as pejoratives – that Audi, Lamborghini’s VW Group guardian, has somehow watered down the Lamborghini esprit, that Ingolstadt has somehow trampled on Bologna’s bounce. Pshaw! These are the same dinosaurs who lament that modern Porsche Turbos don’t pummel their rear three-quarter panels into guardrails like the Whale-Tails of yore.
