Much has been said about the upcoming 2024 Lamborghini Huracan successor and how it will feature a unique twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid system when it debuts in the final quarter of this year, but we’re yet to see exactly what the new ‘baby bull’ will look like.
Sure, a camouflaged prototype was spotted dressed as an old Gallardo in July last year and the disguise was largely effective in hiding some of the new supercar’s key design attributes, but the relation between it and the bigger Revuelto was still clear for all to see.
Well now those spy images and a bit of guesswork have inspired a new series of renders by Russian website Kolesa.ru, which imagine what Lambo’s looming entry-level supercar will look like – and the result is a blend of Revuelto and Huracan.
Up front, digital designer Nikita Chuiko has tried to retain some of the Huracan’s signature angularity and injected a bit of extra squint into the mix as per the Revuelto, however, the slimline headlights aren’t set within a darkened aperture as per the flagship V12.
Instead, they’re positioned freely in their own right and sit flush with the bonnet line, below which is the unique new hexagonal daytime running lights spotted on the camouflaged prototype.
The DRLs are circumnavigated by a set of Huracan-style flicks, which in turn shape a wide trapezoid lower intake.
Connections with the Revuelto start to become more prevalent as you work your way back, given the baby bull sports very similar buttress-style bonnet tapering down behind the cabin to the rear-end, which is crowned with the same high-set, large-diameter exhaust outlet.
Obviously the two systems won’t be the same, but the connection is clear.
The tail-lights were obscured in the spy shots and look to again be inspired by the Revuelto, however, the rendered car sports two clusters of three LED hexagons in an obvious nod to the front DRLs, leaving the rest of the rear apron to be accounted for by a black diffuser and mesh.
Those up for a squint of their own will notice the render features the prototype’s bold rear bumper cutouts that expose much of the rear tyres and wheels – why exactly Lambo is doing this will no doubt be revealed in time, but right now it certainly makes for a striking ensemble.
Both the Huracan and the preceding Gallardo were sales hits for Lamborghini during their respective tenures, the former of which helped the brand surpass 10,000 annual sales globally in 2023, and enjoy a 36.9 per cent upswing in sales in Australia last year.
A new-generation, motorsport-derived powertrain and the adoption of electrification all point to the Huracan successor being significantly more expensive than the model it replaces – as per the Revuelto – but we doubt this will hinder interest or sales, given the Revuelto is sold out until late 2026.
