Lamborghini Huracan replacement to be previewed soon

The first official preview of the highly anticipated 2025 Lamborghini Huracan replacement will be released in March as the Raging Bull sets about implementing its revised ‘Direzione Cor Tauri’ sustainability plan.

Speaking to carsales at an exclusive media event last week, Lamborghini’s global president and CEO Stephan Winkelmann said the first official intel on the still-secret all-new supercar would be released in March ahead of its global reveal late this year, roughly coinciding with the Huracan’s production wind-down.

“We have foreseen to continue to produce the Lamborghini Huracan, and the end or stop will be by the end of or a bit before the end of this year,” he said.

“We have not decided the exact date, but it will be before the end of 2024.”

The fondly-named ‘baby bulls’ (Gallardo, Huracan) were the best-selling models for Lamborghini prior to the Urus SUV, so it makes sense for the Italian marque to squeeze every unit it can from what will almost certainly be the last V10 model it produces.

The lauded naturally-aspirated 10-cylinder is expected to be replaced by a twin-turbocharged V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain derived directly from Lamborghini’s motorsport exploits, with the combustion engine featuring a 10,000rpm redline and unique turbocharging system in which the turbines don’t start blowing until 7000rpm.

A March start for the teaser campaign neatly aligns with the WEC debut of Lambo’s new 2024 LMDh prototype racer.

Our spy photographers managed to snap a camouflaged prototype of the new model testing in Germany last year, which made it clear the new baby bull will look to its Revuelto big brother for design inspiration without looking like a downsized clone.

Concrete details beyond the inclusion of a new plug-in hybrid powertrain are still being kept under wraps, and before then we’ll be seeing a PHEV version of the Urus – a key component of Direzione Cor Tauri.

“It’s not only about reducing the CO2 emissions for the usage of the cars, but each and every car we are going to produce by 2030, the emissions will be reduced by 40 per cent over the entire chain – we’re speaking about the logistics, the suppliers and also our production,” Winkelmann said.

“So this is a very important step to the decarbonisation of Automobili Lamborghini.”

The electrified Urus will debut around mid-year as Lambo’s second production-spec electrified model behind the Revuelto, with hybrid powertrains the primary focus for the car-maker until later this decade.

Winkelmann has long said Lamborghini would wait to see what happens with the outlawing of internal combustion next decade before making a definitive call on going full-electric, although the brand is already hard at work on the Lanzador – it’s first dedicated EV.

The Urus will eventually be replaced by an all-electric successor in 2028 or 2029, with Winkelmann preferring to develop EVs that are “daily useable” and eventually reserving ICE and hybrid tech for two-seater supercar and hypercar models.
