The newest offering from Lamborghini
is an on the fence kind of car. Today we look at the Huracan. It has the cues,
it has the looks, it has the power and optional models like the performante. It
has a race version. But there is something hard to take in about the looks. It
looks refined and smoothed out and maybe just a little bit too much. It doesn’t
have the flair of the Aventador or even the Countach but it is still a car to
dream about. The Huracan is powered by a Lamborghini built V10 and is rear
wheel drive. There is a new EVO model that is just beginning to enter the
markets that should help boost its place in the supercar market but I don’t think
it can rival the current Aventador models.
HW Huracan
With that less than dazzling real
world review, lets turn towards the Hot Wheels version. Since the Huracan has
smoothed out all the lines of the body, it was easier to nail this model and
Hot Wheels surely did. There are two releases already, the standard road car
and the Huracan Super Trofeo race version. Both versions are very well done.
The Huracan debuted in 2015 and has been a part of the mainline every year
except 2020 (although the Trofeo showed up in a 5 pack). My personal favorite
release so far is the red with white stripes that was released in 2017 exotics
5pack.
The super Trofeo race version of the Huracan is also a very well-done release. The 5-pack version in the 2020 Lamborghini 5 pack features the 63 on the side – the 63 is significant because that is the year that Lamborghini began. This model has not caught on with collectors, I suspect it is because of the real-world cars looks. Some love it, some would rather have the Aventador. I would be happy with either and have both in my Hot Wheels collection.
Thank you,
