About Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica
Lamborghini made another update for the Huracan in 2022 when it introduced the Tecnica as a mix between the hard-core STO and the street-oriented Evo, and it was epic.
The Italian automaker didn’t have to make huge changes to a car that was already highly appreciated worldwide. But its engineers said the car deserved more than just a similar bodywork. As a result, the team worked extensively and added significant upgrades to the car’s exterior. Inside, there were also unique updates that were not offered on any other Huracan before it. And, in the end, it was even more affordable than the mighty STO, with which it shared its 5.2-liter V10 engine.
Lamborghini’s design team created a completely new front fascia for the Tecnica. It created a spoiler that integrated a broad air intake and a splitter that channeled air underneath the car to cool the rear brakes. Furthermore, there were a pair of side scoops, one with flaps that grabbed cold air and channeled it towards the front rotors, and a set of slits that created air curtains around the bodywork to lower drag. Despite having a carbon fiber hood that covered the frunk, Lamborghini considered painting it so as not to spoil the overall look of the Huracan Tecnica.
From its profile, the 20” alloy wheels with center locks revealed the carbon fiber brake discs on both axles. The engineering team said that the car didn’t need exhaust vents to release the air from the wheel wells, thanks to the air curtains that extracted it. Moving towards the back of the vehicle, there were reshaped air intakes behind the windows and on the side sills. Finally, on the deck, the engine cover was made from a mix of carbon fiber and polycarbonate to reveal the mighty naturally aspirated powerplant underneath it, but also to reduce weight. Behind it, on the deck, the automaker installed a wing that was smaller than on the STO but provided more downforce than the one offered on the Huracan EVO. Finally, at the back, there were many details that differentiated this version from the rest of the range. Firstly, it featured hexagonal-shaped exhausts, which was unique for the Huracan range. Then, there was a broad diffuser under the bumper that helped with the downforce. Finally, a pair of large vents placed under the taillights released the hot air from the engine compartment.
Inside, the Huracan Tecnica boasted slim carbon fiber seats with some padding on them to provide a decent level of comfort for their occupants. Between them, the automaker installed a center console made from carbon fiber, where a seven-inch multi-capacitive touchscreen was installed. It also housed the buttons for the engine start, the gearbox programs, and the button for the hand brake. Fronting the driver was a steering wheel carried over from the Hurracan STO. Behind it were the paddle shifters and the instrument cluster Lamborghini filled with a large TFT display. The infotainment unit was new. While some of the previous versions of the Huracan were fitted with Apple CarPlay, the Tecnica also came with Android Auto and Amazon Alexa. Like the STO, the Tecnica was available with a roll cage installed behind the seats, which drastically limited the visibility behind the car.
Behind the cabin, Lamborghini installed the same powerplant as in the Huracan STO and paired it with a quick-shift seven-speed automatic (dual-clutch) transmission. The magnetorheological dampers were tuned to perform well on the track and to provide a smooth ride on regular roads.
