Miura-esque?
The next baby Lamborghini - successor of the Huracan we all love
Lets start a thread to keep track on news and rumors around the next baby Lamborghini. I do not have any own insights to share yet but our forum friend from Italy has that I saw in a Sterrato thread…
The new small Hybrid is ready at the factory….

The new small Hybrid is ready at the factory….
Huracan Sterrato
It's funny because all the articles stated 1063 but on the Unica app it said 1499. Seems like the demand is there.

We both hope for the same thing...
i agree with you ! (but Lambo888 doesn't, and we know he knows best ..)
only reason i see why they would need a lighter (V6 / V8) engine is the weight. we (preview attendees) know how they went about the weight-savings in the Aventador successor, i am not sure they can/will do it the same way with the Huracan.

I think so. That's the vibe I got during the AVR replacement preview. I also think the H replacement will be get a substantial MSRP bump.

I think the a V8 was in the cards but it probably cost too much to develop. The V10 with a hybrid makes prefect sense and supposedly Lamborghini wants to keep everything in-house meaning less part sharing with Audi and other VW brands.

A mild hybrid system such as P0 (belt) weighs much less. If it is a P0 system, the alternator would be replaced by an MGU (motor generator unit) and the belt drive system upgraded to accommodate the belt sometimes being driven/boosted by the MGU (vs crankshaft). No additional electrical machines are added, only swapped. The battery would also be smaller vs a full hybrid/PHEV as expected on the A replacement.
It could also be a P1 - 4.
well we know the weight the new system adds to the A, assuming it's similar for the H, some other weight needs to go .. no way around it.

But it won't be a similar weight increase for the H if it uses a mild hybrid solution, it will be a smaller increase. I don't see a way to offset it unless they decide to share the A's carbon tub with the H. Actually, this wouldn't surprise me at all because it sounds like a) the H will no longer share a platform with the R8 b) carbon tech has come down in cost and c) they would realize economies of scale (shared development cost, tooling, high combined volume etc). The H replacement could then also have scissor doors
but why would u even think that?

It's based purely on my own understanding of the differences between a PHEV/full hybrid system and a mild hybrid system.

Cost, weight and marketing/product positioning. The A would use a more powerful and complex system to justify the price premium (also higher performance).

Man the memories of seeing Asterion for the first time... wish THIS was the Centenario. Ferrucio wanted to make the ultimate GT. This design with Aventador's V12 would have been perfect celebration of his 100 year anniversary.
Who remembers when Lamborghini was fidling with the idea to produce it? They had an Aventador with Asterion V10 hybrid setup.

LAMBORGHINI TOSCA, THE AVENTADOR BASED HYBRID TEST MULE | LamboCARS.com
The 2014 Paris Motor Show had a nice surprise on the Automobili Lamborghini SpA stand, they unveiled something not too many people were expecting from Sant’Agata, the bright blue metallic Asterion LPI910-4 was unveiled … the first Lamborghini hybrid ever, with 610 hp from the Huracan sourced V10...

Sadly they abandoned that project.
Here is my speculation/prediction.
We know already that H replacement will use the chassis from the Revuelto/A replacement, except it will be with scaled down front/rear overhangs. Probably switch-gear and some interior parts too will be shared. Otherwise it will be a VAG Group parts special. I'm 99% sure there is no more V10, only a 4l TT V8 hybrid incoming with ~850hp. Think that engine configuration will come from Urus Ibrido, while the rest of "technical" parts will come from Audi and Porsche.

There's a few articles regarding the H replacement. Winkelmann stated it will share components and borrow looks from the AVR whilst the head of Lamborghini Asia said it will share parts but will have a much different look.
Safe to say no one outside of the factory knows anything and it's all speculation at this point until a test mule is spotted.
