2019 Lamborghini Huracan

In Lamborghini nomenclature, the Huracan lineup is divided into 3 distinctive trim levels for the coupe configuration. The base LP580-2 model comes with a rear-wheel-drive as standard, while the LP610-4 and the Performante LP640-4 sport all-wheel-drive as standard. All these trim levels are powered by the same V-10 powertrain, but the power output increases by a significant number as you move up the trim pyramid. The Huracan Coupe falls in a price range that extends from $203,674 for its base variant to $281,048 for the top-tier Performante trim. However, the latter is considered as a performance-focused option and is reviewed separately. Here’s an overview of the features available with the LP580-2 and LP610-4 trims. 

Which Trim should you buy?

For pure performance junkies, the LP610-4 is the obvious trim of choice. Not only does this variant offer more power under the hood, but Lamborghini has also integrated this trim level with certain exclusive performance features that the base LP580-2 trim doesn’t have, like standard all-wheel-drive, bigger 20-inch alloy wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, and adaptive dampers. To add even more adrenaline to your ride, we will also add the heated seats, LED lighting for the engine bay, dynamic steering, cruise control, and a lifting system to raise the front of the car while approaching a tricky speedbump. Though the price difference between the two is evident and considerable, the exhilaration you get from the LP610-4 is unmatched. 

For insanely fast sports cars like the Lamborghini Huracan, fuel economy is hardly even a factor of consideration for most buyers. Still, if you decide to have a peek at this section, the 2019 Lamborghini Huracan will provide you a city MPG of 13 according to EPA estimates. Highway economy rises to a figure of 18. With its fuel tank capacity of 21.1 gallons and combined MPG of 15, the Huracan can dish out an expected mileage of 316 miles with a mixture of driving on both city and highway. 

Surprisingly, although the RWD and AWD variants of the Huracan coupe are fundamentally different in terms of weight and power outputs, EPA estimates the same MPG numbers for both these variants. Based on the MPG figures that we just saw, it is clear that the Lamborghini Huracan won’t be easy on your wallet if you plan to use it for daily errands. Remember to fill up your tank to the brink if you plan to head on a brisk adventure in your city outskirts.

The Lamborghini Huracan is the most fuel-hungry supercar in this comparison, as its powerful V-10 lacks the frugality its competitors possess. The Porsche 911 Turbo S is a cut above the rest, leading the way in its segment with its class-leading fuel economy figures and mileage of 21 MPG. On the other hand, both the Mclaren and Nissan are less efficient but have larger fuel tanks of 19 and 19.5-gallons, which allows them to averages a range of around 350 miles. 

The Lamborghini Huracan is one of the fastest cars on the planet, so it only makes sense that it reflects its prowess even on the inside. The coupe gets a bold and aggressive interior design, that incorporates a common theme as most supercars from Italy. The Huracan offers a myriad of lively customization options and high-end materials. But for those who want a personal touch to their cabin, Lamborghini provides several optional packages one can choose from. 

The dashboard looks extra sporty with a stylish leather-wrapped steering wheel and a plethora of aluminum switchgear. Shifting our focus to the seats, the Huracan only offers seating capacity for 2 passengers just like most sports cars. Ironically, getting inside the Huracan is a tussle in itself, forcing you to tilt your body in the most unnatural way possible. However, once you are in, the seats feel supportive and comfortable even at triple-digit speed figures. However, the cargo capacity of 3.5 cu.-ft is impractical, to say the least.

In comparison with the segment, both the Nissan GT-R Nismo and Porsche 911 Turbo S have a seating capacity of 4 passengers each. While interior space for most of the competitors is not known, the Nissan gets ample legroom at the front and even the rear seat can be used by children. Additionally, it also offers the highest trunk volume of 8.8 cu.-ft, closely followed by the Porsche and Mclaren 570S that get 4.4 and 5 cu.-ft space each. Each coupe sports a clutter-free cabin design and while the 2019 Turbo S does look dated, as per speculations, the car is up for a redesign with 2020 MY. 

The notable interior features inside the Lamborghini Huracan are-

• Leather or Alcantara upholstery 
• Carbon fiber interior trimmings
• 4-way power driver and passenger seats
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel and dash

This display also functions as the main hub for all the driver-related info. An AM/FM radio and a CD player work alongside the display. Optional features include Bluetooth, native smartphone integration, satellite radio, and navigation. The optional Sensonum ten-speaker premium sound system is integrated behind hexagonal speaker grilles and provides a blissful musical experience while you grind your car at high speeds.

Lamborghini tweaked some key exterior aspects to distinguish its Huracan coupe from the outgoing Gallardo that it was replacing. The changes include a more rounded body design and a few angular touches. These changes to the design allow the Huracan to be distinct and look enticing. In the front, the fascia is adorned by sharp LED headlights and narrow taillights, both of which add to the Huracan’s curvaceous profile. The RWD-equipped LP580-2 features larger front air intakes and a redesigned rear diffuser for improved aerodynamics, giving a sense of lightness to the supercar. The Huracan runs on bold 19-inch wheels to burn the racetrack, with bigger 20-inch ones available as options. The AWD-equipped LP610-4 variant straightaway gets bigger wheels right off the factory. Besides, a colorful inventory of customizations with 23 distinctive exterior colors for the Huracan awaits your selection on the customization webpage.

It is the shortest in the segment measuring 175.6 inches with a wheelbase of 103.2 inches, which makes it easier to maneuver in tighter spots. While ground clearance is not known, the coupe is the shortest in terms of height and at 75.8 inches is one of the widest options. 

The Mclaren 570S is considerably lighter than all its competitors and is one reason that it manages blistering performance. It sits at 3.8 inches from the ground, while the Nissan and Porsche have a clearance of 4.3 inches. Additionally, the GT-R Nismo and 911 Turbo S sport the longest and shortest wheelbases of 109.4 and 96.5 inches, respectively. 

In terms of design, the Nissan GT-R NISMO and Mclaren 570S look on par with the Lamborghini. But a common element among all competitors including the Porsche 911 Turbo S is that they are still based on their predecessors. However, with a schedule revamp in 2020, the Porsche is one option to look out for.

The 2019 Lamborghini Huracan has never been tested by either NHTSA and IIHS in any of the crash safety tests and might never be tested due to its high-value low volume status. g. In terms of safety, the Huracan feels rather underequipped and lacks advanced driver assistance aids that you find on most cars today, as its emphasis is only on providing a rush of adrenaline on the racetrack. The only notable safety features include a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors, alongside other safety basics like ABS and driveline traction control.

All the notable safety features of the Lamborghini Huracan in a nutshell-

2019 Lamborghini Huracan vs 2019 McLaren 570S

The Lamborghini Huracan and the McLaren 570S are two evenly matched supercars in almost every aspect. In the power charts, the McLaren makes less power than the Lambo. However, its greater torque figure helps it to just edge the Lambo by a fine margin in the quarter-mile run. The McLaren also boasts of a better fuel economy, but given its power, it lacks the ability to be driven daily. Summing up the Huracan’s positive aspects, the supercar’s sweet-sounding exhaust note mesmerizes us every time we drive. Besides, not many car enthusiasts are a fan of the 570S’s exterior style, which means that the Huracan takes the onus in terms of style. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference, as both these coupes sport a similar performance-oriented cabin as well.

2019 Lamborghini Huracan vs 2019 Nissan GT-R NISMO

The Nissan GT-R NISMO is an absolute machine when it comes to raw performance. Its monstrous engine easily makes more power and torque than the Huracan. The power difference shows in the speed charts as well, where the GT-R leads the Lamborghini by a few milliseconds. Being entirely performance-focused, the Nissan looks rather dated and marginally lacks finesse on the inside. If you care about those factors, the Huracan is definitely the more flashy buy. But the Nissan GT-R includes seating for 4 passengers and a usable trunk capacity alongside a respectable fuel economy, making it a more practical everyday drive than the Lambo. The price difference is also very high, making the Nissan a more affordable buy over the Lambo if you only care about godly performance specs.

2019 Lamborghini Huracan vs 2019 Porsche 911 Turbo S

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is a legendary supercar that has etched its name into the history books thanks to years of dominance on the racetrack. The Huracan is definitely a new player to this field, and still has a long way to go to match the Porsche’s tremendous prowess. The Porsche is the faster of the duo and is also leagues ahead of the Lambo in terms of handling dynamics. The Lambo does have the better sounding engine and a flashier style, although the Porsche isn’t far behind either. The 911 Turbo S also has better fuel economy and a more practical trunk and is priced a grand lower than the Huracan. It is clear who the winner is in this duel and it goes to the brilliant Porsche 911 Turbo S.

The 2019 Lamborghini Huracan is a thrilling car to drive on the racetracks and even your daily route. Built upon Lamborghini’s staunch principles of raw performance and engaging driving dynamics, the Huracan mesmerizes the driver and even the onlookers with the exhilarating roar of its V-10 engine. The interiors are well-wrapped in opulent materials and are filled with tech bits that help the Huracan test its performance limits. Still, there are more practical supercars out there than the Lamborghini Huracan. However, buyers who invest in a Lambo are only settling for the pride of the badge and not everyday sensibility. So we do recommend shelling out all your cash for the 2019 Lamborghini Huracan to add it as a glittering asset to your high-end garage.
