The Lamborghini Huracán (Spanish for "hurricane"; [uɾaˈkan]) is a sports carmanufactured by Italian automotive manufacturer Lamborghini replacing the previous V10 offering, the Gallardo.[5] The Huracán was revealed online in December 2013,[6]making its worldwide debut at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show[7] and was released in the market in the second quarter of 2014.    

​

The Huracán's name (huracán being the Spanish word for hurricane) is inspired by a Spanish fighting bull. Historic Spanish fighting bulls have traditionally provided the names of most Lamborghini car models. Huracán was a bull known for its courage that fought in 1879.

​

The Huracán maintains the 5.2-litre naturally aspirated Audi/Lamborghini V10 engine of the facelifted Gallardo, tuned to generate a maximum power output of 449 kW (602 hp; 610 PS).[citation needed] To ensure its balance and performance, the car is mid-engined. The engine has both direct fuel injection and multi-point fuel injection. It combines the benefits of both of these systems; it is the first time this combination is used in a V10 engine. The firing order of the engine is 1, 6, 5, 10, 2, 7, 3, 8, 4, 9. This is printed on a metal plate on the top of the engine, as with all other Lamborghini models.
