"Lamborghini Hurricane": all the most interesting about the Italian novelty

"Lamborghini Hurricane" is a new supercar that was presented in Geneva last year, namely in early March 2014. It is interesting that in the Russian Federation the orders for this brand new Italian sports car began to be accepted in the winter, in January. Since the Russian quota on an expensive sports car from Lamborghini is small, all cars were sold out before the official presentation of the model in Switzerland.

A little bit about the title

Lamborghini Huracan - that's how it was actually decided to call this model. Everyone knows that this Italian company is engaged in manufacturing exclusively expensive and sports cars. On the hood of these cars is a logo showing an angry bull. According to the already established tradition, all models are endowed with the names of bulls that participated in the bullfight. And this time the novelty was named in honor of the bull, whose name was Huracan, that is, as translated from the Spanish, Hurricane. He fought with the matador in the distant year of 1879.

About appearance

The design and exterior of a car like "Lamborghini Hurricane", it would seem, should at least somehow resemble the appearance of a formidable animal. However, this does not exist, even remote similarities are absent. The design simply amazes with graceful and graceful body lines. Absolutely every bend, any trifle - all this is so perfectly verified in this case, that I want to study this machine forever.

As for dimensions, the Lamborghini Hurricane has 4459 millimeters in length, 1924 mm in width and 1165 mm in height. If we talk about the wheelbase of the novelty, in this case it is equal to an indicator of 2620 mm. As standard, the model is fitted with tires known as Pirelli P Zero. They were specially designed for a brand new sports "Hurricane". Naturally, the car is set exclusively alloy wheels. As an option, beautiful and stylish discs are available, special - with double knitting needles in the number of five pieces.

Aerodynamic characteristics

It is logical to assume that such a machine as "Lamborghini Hurricane" is very light and aerodynamic. In running order, the weight of this car is 1,422 kilograms. It is worth remembering that under the hood of this "monster" is installed a 10-cylinder engine, as well as an all-wheel drive transmission with a mass of additional equipment. So the weight is very small, and this has a positive and tangible effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of the machine.

Everything in this sense is simple in this sense. This Italian company is controlled by Audi. And all the people who know more or less in cars, it is well known that the Germans are the best specialists in terms of combating the "excess weight" of models. So it was not without reason that it was decided to perform the power frame of the body made of aluminum and carbon fiber, and the outer panels - from a combination of materials such as carbon fiber and winged metal. The suspension levers are made of aluminum, so as not to change the principles.

Interior

"Lamborghini Hurricane" - a car is two-seater, so that with all his appearance he demonstrates his sporting direction and uneasy character. And what about the interior, about the cabin of this supercar? So, the driver together with the navigator are in a very comfortable environment. First of all, of course, we should note the attention to comfortable chairs. They are installed low, but quite comfortable. Seats are equipped with electronic drive adjustments. Also immediately attention attracts the steering wheel with a large rim and eye-catching bright tides. The steering wheel was cut from below - it was made for the right grip. Now the driver can switch gears with paddle-shaped petals, without even removing his hands. Moreover, it will not be difficult for him to control the audio system, mobile and other equipment in this position.

But the equipment should be told more. In the prompter's, stylishly designed booth, you can see a wide color display of 12.3 inches. The screen gives the motorist all the necessary information - from the speedometer readings and the readings of the coolant temperature sensors, to the settings of the cellular, multimedia system and navigation maps.

More about equipping

"Lamborghini Hurricane", the price of which is 11 500 000 rubles (and this is only the initial mark), is quite an interesting car in terms of its equipment. For example, in the center console there is another small, narrow screen TFT, designed for dual-zone climate control, but if the driver wants, then it can display information on the temperature and pressure of the oil in the engine, as well as information about the voltage in the network.

The central console and the torpedo of the car "Lamborghini Hurricane", the characteristics of which are really impressive, are somewhat similar to the cockpit of a fighter. Everything is done very laconically and strictly. Designers did not ignore even the "start-stop" button, located behind the red flap. But the decoration materials are very immodest and expensive, you can even say, premium. Alcantara and natural high-quality leather - this is covered absolutely everything in the cabin. By the way, inside there is a LED backlight. By the way, you can choose any option for finishing. The interior is replete with a variety of color schemes.

About characteristics

"Lamborghini Hurricane", the price of which is rather big, has excellent characteristics. The heart of this car - a 5.2-liter gasoline engine and a 7-speed transmission with two clutches and several modes of operation (Corsa, Sportt, Standa). "Lamborghini Hurricane" test drive went to "excellent", because over the running and technical parts specialists worked as well as on the design with the interior. Due to the ease of the machine, the electromechanical power steering and the carbon-ceramic brakes, an unrealistic feeling of driving is created. The maximum that this car can develop is 325 km / h, and the acceleration time to hundreds is 3.2 seconds. Concerning the expense, 100 kilometers will require 9.4 liters (on the highway) and about 17.8 on the city.
