Lamborghini is in the process of updating its model lineup, having already unveiled its plug-in hybrid halo car, the Revuelto. The company has now officially confirmed that the replacement of the Huracan will also be what they call a “High Performance Electrified Vehicle.”
This hardly comes as a surprise, but it is nice to get confirmation that their next junior supercar will be unveiled within 2024. In addition, Lamborghini will unveil the much anticipated plug-in hybrid Urus this year.
Although it is unclear if those debuts will happen together or at different times, the two new Lamborghini models may be related. Earlier reports suggest that the Huracan successor will ditch the V10, in favor of a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, just like the one in the Urus.

The next Huracan is expected to borrow the electric hardware from its big brother, the Revuelto. This could mean that the Huracan successor will get axial-flux motors from British supplier Yasa, though it’s unclear if it will make use of two or three motors.
Spy photos of the vehicle have revealed that the new model will be similar in scale to the Huracan while incorporating some of the Revuelto’s design cues. The test cars so far feature a rear bumper design that leaves the rear wheels exposed, giving it a purposeful look and helping show off the intricate rear diffuser.
Although we aren’t anticipating four-digit power figures like the Revuelto, the Huracan replacement may debut new tech that adjusts its toe and camber angles on the fly to actively optimize handling characteristics, which will likely make it feel quite nimble.
Lamborghini says that the new Huracan successor, in combination with the Revuelto and the Urus PHEV, is part of its “Direzione Cor Tauri” plan to reduce emissions. It hopes to halve the CO2 output of its range by 2025 and to further reduce it by 80 percent by 2030.
Lamborghini CEO, Stefan Winkelmann, recently told Bloomberg that the brand is deliberately being slow with its electrification strategy (the Revuelto came out years after Ferrari’s first PHEV) because it wants to “come on the market when we’re the best, and when the technology is ripe.”
