2020 Lamborghini Huracan Teased, Gets New Tech, More Power


Lamborghini is working on a facelifted Huracán and the automaker has reportedly released the first teaser images on their smartphone app.

While the app is invite only, Auto Express was able to grab two images of the car. They aren’t very revealing, but the pictures show the model will have revised headlights with reshaped LED daytime running lights. We can also get a glimpse of the car’s new front bumper which appears more aggressive than the one used on the current model.


Additional details are hard to make out, but the front air intakes feature angular styling elements. The side scoops have also been updated as they have gloss black accents and a new horizontal fin.

The styling changes are hard to see in the teaser images, but spy photos give us a better look at what to expect. Besides the aforementioned modifications, the 2020 Huracán will have a new rear end which features a dual exhaust system. Fans can also expect a new rear diffuser and additional vents.


Exterior styling changes won’t be the only updates as the cabin is slated to step into the 21st century thanks to a touchscreen infotainment system with a portrait orientation. Little is known about it, but previous pictures have suggested it will be used to replace at least 23 different buttons and three control knobs.

Performance specifications remain unconfirmed, but the car’s 5.2-liter V10 engine will likely receive a power boost. It currently produces 601 hp (449 kW / 610 PS) and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque which enables the model to rocket from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds before hitting a top speed in excess of 201 mph (325 km/h).


While the exact numbers remain a mystery, the 2019 Audi R8 Performance recently received an updated V10 engine that develops 620 PS (611 hp / 456 kW) and 428 lb-ft (580 Nm) of torque. As a result, we can expect the 2020 Lamborghini Huracán to match or exceed those numbers.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
