Lamborghini is all set to take the wraps off the new Huracán replacement, currently code-named as the Lamborghini 634. The High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) is set to debut later this year and will boast a twin turbo V8 engine. This will be coupled with a three motor electric system and the 8-speed dual clutch gearbox derived from the Revuelto optimised for the new model.

As we bid goodbye to the 5.2L NA V10 engine from the Huracán, Lamborghini says that the new engine is an effort to deliver performance and driving emotion that is superior to the current Huracán range. The twin turbo V8 that features a displacement of 4.0 litres will put out 800PS between 9,000 and 9,750rpm reaching a maximum engine speed of 10,000rpm. It also puts out around 730Nm of torque. The Lamborghini 634 is able to achieve figures that are akin to thoroughbred racing engines due the perfect integration of the electric unit with the combustion engine. The rear electric system housed between the combustion engine and the dual clutch gearbox is capable of generating high torque and power values, a maximum of 300Nm and 149PS respectively at 3,500rpm.

While it is easy to drown in a sea of numbers and power figures, driving pleasure is of prime importance too! Lamborghini aspires to give the 634 a unique character by defining its sound, one that roars at higher revs, the effects of which will also be felt in the chassis.

The launch of the new 634 will also aid Lamborghini in the ‘Direzione Cor Tauri’ program that is leading Lamborghini towards the progressive electrification of their range, the inception of which was in early 2023 with the première of the Revuelto and later the Urus SE in April 2024.
