Penultimate Huracan variant looks set to be one of the best. Lamborghini Huracan Technica prototype review
’s Nardò test track is an entirely appropriate place to make acquaintance with a new Lamborghini for the first time. Much of the development work on the Tecnica has been done here. But it is also an unarguably intimidating one. The 3.8-mile circuit’s first corner is a hugely fast left-hander that leads straight into the braking zone for the much tighter Turn Two.
First impressions are that the Tecnica feels much more like an Evo-plus rather than an STO-minus. Although these things are relative, the V10 soundtrack is noticeably quieter than the savagery of the barely silenced track special, especially at lower revs. But the engine still needs to be worked hard to deliver its best and clearly enjoys being taken to its 8500rpm limiter - just 500rpm beyond the point where peak power arrives.
The Tecnica’s steering is direct and delivers strong front-end bite although, as in other Huracáns, power assistance is still a little too generous for my tastes. Turn-in feels less scintillating than the STO’s, but the prototype’s optional track-biased Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres generate huge grip and the chassis balance is impressively adjustable. In the gentlest Strada dynamic setting, this means the ability to adjust the cornering line through weight transfer.
