The Huracan

 

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.

Most of the Huracan releases feature real world paint schemes and have head and taillight decals which are high res and look really good. The Lamboghini logo has also evolved and looks very good.
