The Gallardo: The best selling Lamborghini in history, with over 14,000 sold since its birth almost a decade ago. But despite a stellar run, all good things must come to an end. And then be replaced by something else named after an ancient Spanish fighting bull — like the new Lamborghini Huracán.
Under the hood it’s business as usual: the 5.2-liter V-10 from the Gallardo remains, but power is pushed 58 ponies to 610 hp, while torque improves 15 lb.-ft. to 413. Thanks to its electronic all-wheel drive system, the Huracán sprints to 60 mph in … More
