The ride is also pretty unreal. Being a proper supercar, some amount of stiffness is expected, but the magnetorheological damper control system works well, so the ride is better than that of a Gallardo. Overall ride is so good, you can actually use this car every day!
The Huracán's new stiff carbonfibre and aluminium chassis helps and so does the new aluminium double wishbone suspension set-up. The new Lambo also gets an all-new twin clutch gearbox and a new four-wheel-drive system that is different from the mechanical Quattro-based unit in the Gallardo.
The road ahead finally improves. I pull the left paddle twice and mash the throttle to the floor; our backs are bent and the Huracán is flung forward like it is shot out of a giant cannon. And it’s not just that initial eye-popping surge of power; the Huracán delivers one long, sustained, seamless pull for the next 10 or 12 seconds. Just insane. And the soundtrack is pretty mental too. The burst of acceleration is accompanied by the demonic howl of the V10 screaming up the scale like there is no limit.
