Lamborghini Huracan V10 sold out, hybrid V8 replacement due next year

Order books for the Lamborghini Huracan supercar have been filled until the last example rolls off the production line next year – and is replaced by a new model with twin-turbo V8 hybrid propulsion.

Confirmed as sold out by Lamborghini in a media release announcing its latest sales figures, the Huracan will be the last supercar produced by the Italian car-maker without hybrid or electric power.

It is also expected to be its last car with V10 power, as reports suggest its replacement – due at the end of 2024 – is planned to adopt a new V8 engine with twin turbochargers, in conjunction with plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology.

Lamborghini says high demand for its other models has led to "an order bank that, almost entirely, covers the production of 2024."

The Huracan is the second generation of Lamborghini's modern 'junior' supercar line, introduced in 2014 to replace the decade-old Gallardo with 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 propulsion.

The unnamed Huracan replacement will join the hybrid V12 Revuelto supercar (which replaces the Aventador) and a plug-in hybrid Urus SUV in switching Lamborghini's full model range to PHEV power by the end of 2024.

According to US publication Motor Trend, the new model will adopt a new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 derived from the Urus and other VW Group models, but with a screaming 10,000rpm redline – about 3000rpm higher than the Urus.

It will reportedly be assisted by an 'axial flux' electric motor – smaller and lighter than traditional radial electric motors, with less power but more torque – that will boost performance until the engine hits 7000rpm.

Power outputs are yet to be revealed; today's Huracan develops up to 470kW in STO, Evo all-wheel drive, Tecnica and Performante forms.

It's not clear if the Huracan replacement will be rear- or all-wheel drive.

All series-production Lamborghinis launched since the Murciélago of 2001 have gone on sale first with all-wheel drive, though rear-drive Gallardo and Huracan variants have been introduced later.

More details on the 2024 Lamborghini Huracan replacement are due closer to its introduction late next year.
