From Business Insider

The all-new Lamborghini Huracán supplants the Gallardo, the most popular Lamborghini model ever.

The Huracán was introduced this March at the Geneva Motor Show.

Powered by a 5.2 liter V10 engine that generates over 600 horsepower, it does 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, and has a top speed of 201 mph.

Here’s everything you need and want to know about the latest and maybe greatest Lamborghini supercar.

The Huracán succeeds the Gallardo, the most popular Lamborghini ever. Half of the cars Lamborghini has built in its 50-year history are Gallardos. Pictured is the last one ever built.

Lamborghini first told us about the Huracán in December 2013, soon after the last Gallardo was built.

Continuing a Lambo tradition, the car is named for a famous bull that fought in Spain in 1879, “showing his unrelenting character and remaining defiant and invincible, thus entering into the legend of fighting bulls’ history.” Newspress

It was designed from scratch, but retains the basic look of 21st century Lamborghinis. Newspress

The chassis is made from aluminum and carbon fiber.

5.2 liter V10 engine that generates over 600 horsepower, revised version of the one in the Gallardo

It’s a revised version of the engine used in the Gallardo, and is paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Newspress

That will send the Huracán from 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, and up to 124 mph in 9.9 seconds.

Top speed: 201 mph.

The interior is comfortable for long drives, with more space and better visibility than in the Gallardo.

Lamborghini has been delivering the car in 2014.
