For most of its existence, Lamborghini built wild sports cars with big V12 engines and equally big price tags. In 2003 that changed with the addition of a baby Lamborghini, the V10-powered Gallardo. Cheaper, smaller, and ever-so-slightly more practical than the company's traditional fare, the Gallardo went on to be Lamborghini's best-selling model ever, with more than 14,000 leaving the Sant'Agata factory in Italy. The Gallardo platform was also used to good effect by the Audi R8, that company's take on an everyday supercar (Audi bought Lamborghini in 1998).
The Gallardo got a mid-life refresh in 2007, but since then rivals like Ferrari's 458 and McLaren's MP4-12C advanced the art of the mid-engined supercar. The Huracán LP 610-4 is Lamborghini's response to those cars. It's still not the wildest machine you can buy from the Italian company (that remains the V12-powered Aventador), but it might be the most technologically advanced car in the range. Tech happens to be something we're quite enamored with here at Cars Technica, so when Lamborghini contacted us and asked if we might like to spend a few days getting to know the Huracán better, we jumped at the chance.
