It may not feel like it, but the Lamborghini Huracan has been on the market for the better part of a decade. Lambo is hard at work on a successor, but while the next-generation Audi R8 will go electric, Lamborghini will stick with gasoline propulsion. That means that Lamborghini can't rely on platform and powertrain sharing. Previous rumors hinted that the Huracan replacement will utilize a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, but a new report from
MotorTrend has added some new details to the mix.
The outlet says the next-generation supercar will be powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which may sound like Lamborghini copping out and using the same engine found in everything from the Audi RS6 to the Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus. But if MT is to be believed, this will be unlike any V8 currently found in the world of supercars because the turbos won't kick in until 7,000 rpm.
