I can confirm that Lamborghini will stop production of all Huracan Variants in May of 2024. They will not finish the year out as most expected. This means they will make less than the expected Tecnica’s (1000 units) than I anticipated. Their maybe a very limited Tecnica with only 63 models at the closing of the quarter. The Steratto will be the last V10 to be produced with very low numbers but the Tecnica is in the same lane as a STO and Perfomante. All 3 of these variants have a unique feel that you wouldn’t get with any other Huracan. I’m getting a Tecnica very soon this information comes from solid sources. I personally believe the Tecnica is the most fun to drive between the 3 as the STO and Performante are very track focused and the T is made to go wild.

Less then 1000? Why so little?

For sure it’s due to part shortages and secondly they have to build the Steratto, STO, Tecnica and the rest of the EVO orders from 23 to May 2024. If Lamborghini is sticking to there production numbers (2300-2400 a year) which is rumored to start winding down soon then I only see them making around 1000 Tecnica maybe 1200.

Let’s guestimate here..
600 Steratto
1200 Tecnica
200 STO
800 EVO Family
- 2800 - cars from January 2023 through May 2024.
With the last 400 cars being made from January to May of 2024. We can assume they will be changing things around for Production of the Huracan replacement during the summer. They will obviously be making less cars in 2024 for that main reason.

 

[MRiley]

This will put the STO just under 2000 units total. They are at around 1700 produced so far

I figured that could be a bench market for the STO. They could make more and if they did then that means the Tecnica will be made less. All I can say is that they have every interest in making as many STO’a as possible and as little Tecnica as possible. So we can assume this going into the next year and a half.

My dealer is receiving 12 Tecnica allocations and received 15 STO allocations. It's not an ultra rare model and it's also not been marketed as the last NA V10 model so not sure why all the hype for a car that has a slower 0-60 time than the 610.

I’m getting my Tecnica from one of the best selling dealers on the West coast and they do not have 12 Tecnica allocations. Also, I checked with another dealer I’ve purchased a new Huracan from and they are Number 1 or 2 depending and they also do not have 12 Tecnica allocations. Again, I am receiving my car in January so I’m not sure why they would lie to me. The assumed numbers I got was 7 and 8 and they aren’t sure if they will get more.

Let’s assume that your information is correct and each dealer got 12 allocation out of the 128 dealers in the world. That would be 1536 Tecnica leaving only 864 cars for 23 total production numbers. Keep in mind the CEO of Lamborghini said there will not be many Tecnica and would have to fit them in. Now if Lamborghini announces that they will make more than 600 Steratto then your numbers could not be correct because that means Lamborghini would have to make more Huracans than they ever have. So only time will tell. It will be interesting considering they stop production May of 2024 for the Huracan.

You're over analyzing and need to relax. You're not buying the holy grail of Lamborghini's, it's the entry level H variant. There's nothing special about this model and the reason why it had so much demand was because of the price point.

None of these H variants are going to skyrocket in value anytime soon. There's too many H's and they all have similar performance figures. There's also no point of guessing how many they're producing to justify future values because it means nothing when it comes to collectors. Collectors want numbered, limited edition models and none of the H's are number limited.

Enjoy your car and some worrying about production numbers. It's means nothing.

I’ve owned almost all of the Huracan variants of have driven them for long periods of time and every one is completely different. With your ideology, you’re saying a R8 V10 is the same as some Huracan. That makes absolutely no sense. The R8 and Huracan are completely different cars and share some similarities. Porsche is an example of all the cars being the same with simple changing and tuned and hold value because each one is different in its own way. That is the exact same thing for the Tecnica. It’s has a number of differences than any other RWD not to mention is much longer than any Huracan Variant every built to date. This variant is far from base model (610-2) would be the base.

I’m not buying this car because of resell value as I never intend to sell it. I’m buying this car for a list of things and no one will have it and ill probably never see one on the road unless I’m at a car event. This car is futuristic all at once, fun as well as fast and sounds amazing. That to me is all I want!

Lastly, you should take a look at the title of this trend. I’m pretty sure it this is the whole purpose here. It’s to speculate on the Tecnica allocations. So with that said, I’m not the one who needs to “relax”. Just saying…..

At its heart, the Tecnica is another Huracan variant with new sheet metal that, following the Sian, reveals the new corporate ‘face’ (front end) to be seen on the A and H replacements. There is nothing really mechanically different to make it truly stand out from past variants and become inherently more collectible. I think the STO could have been ‘the’ collectible Huracan if it was limited to say 1,000 units and had a thoroughly updated engine through increased displacement or other exotic internals.

The Tecnica is more like the STO than people think. The difference is the STO is stripped down to the core and the Tecnica can be driven everyday comfortably. I’ve driven both and they are very much alike except at higher speeds an the STO’s carbon wing keeps it well planted while the Tecnica wants to get wild and fun (it’s very well planted as well). I am confident that people will love the Tecnica once they realize how fun it is considering the STO is for the track mainly.

Tecnica Direct Steering like STO

Most people talking about the Tecnica not being any different more than likely have not driven the 610-2 which I owned or the 640-4 which I also owned; drove an STO and Tecnica on a race track. If you have then you will know exactly what I’m talking about. All of these cars drive and handle very different. If all you do is drive your cars on public roads then you will never experience or understand the difference and tunes of these machines.

 

[MRiley]

Well put. I couldn't agree more. People here are just assuming and dont know much about cars and the new rwd system technica has. You are correct

Everything except the doors and roof of the STO are made from carbon fibre. Not sure what the bodywork material is on the Tecnica but I’m going to assume it’s the more traditional aluminum and plastic. Perhaps I’m wrong?

The STO also uses very expensive CCM-R brakes. I believe the Tecnica uses standard ceramic brakes.

This is why I suggested that the STO would have been the appropriate base for a limited edition. They went the extra mile with the bodywork and chassis but stopped short at the powertrain (not that it isn’t a great system, but it’s mostly carry over).

The Tecnica has a lot more options for carbon fiber than most Huracan variants. Almost like the Performante however it’s up to the buyer to design what they want. The Tecnica also has 30% more downforce than the 610-2 which gives it a way better track advantage. The Tecnica also has a higher top speed than the STO so we will have to see on the race twice if the Tecnica is equal to the STO or in a shock better. However so they are both great cars and sure to bring smiles to its owners.

 

[MRiley]

I'm talking about the various H variants. I've owned the 610, 580, Perf and STO and driving these cars daily I couldn't feel any difference except for the exhaust sound. The brakes felt the same. The handling felt the same. Acceleration felt the same. You might feel the difference between each of the variants if you're tracking and pushing the cars to the limit but how many owners actual push these cars to their limit. Not many.

And speaking of tracking, I attended a Lambo track event last year and they had the EVO AWD and RWD. I would say the majority of the owners had no idea which one they were tracking. Some even claimed the RWD had more grip than the AWD.

If you think the Tecnica is special and it's a big leap forward compared to other H variants, that's your business but nothing stands out at me when you compare the tech info on Lambos own website between the models. The 3.2 0-60 time is pitiful, it's 1.7" longer so nothing to write home about and most of the changes seem to be an update LVDI. In other words, it's the same old H and like every other variant it's got a new body kit and an ECU tune.

That is why I said if people do not drive these cars on the race track which make are intended for, you may not notice the difference at all. I can guarantee you that if you drove a 610-2 and a Tecnica on a race track, you would notice a HUGE difference in performance and grip.

To your comment about the individuals who couldn’t tell the difference between the performance is sadness. Some people just buy these cars for validation or self indulgence but they are more than that. You will never truly put a smile on your face until you apex into a straight and that NA10 helps you slingshot for the pass. That’s when you will understand the aero, downforce, shifting and other difference in the cars.
I’m not just a car enthusiast, I love to race 😅 as well!

 

[MRiley]

Hood and deck lid and some other parts are carbon. Same engine as the STO

If I’m not mistaken it also has the STO tune as well with higher top speed.

 

[MRiley]

I can tell you 100% ogara Westlake got 20 allocations.
As far as collectible I don’t think any huracan will bed considered a “true” collectible but it will for sure maintain its value and appreciate over time. It is one of the last na v10 being produced.

20 Allocations? No way! I’m going to head down there to ask! That is insane and unfair to a lot of other dealers. When did you last check on that number?

Let’s say we go in between that 12 quoted earlier and your 20 from Westlake and we say 15 per dealer in the world. That’s 1920 Tecnica and to be honest I am not sure Lamborghini can make that many. If Lamborghini announces that they will make just 600 Steratto, they couldn’t achieve those numbers. So many Tecnica orders are being canceled, restricted to very base designs. They aren’t allowing much livery due to having to send it out to be hand painted. If it was that many per dealership, I think we would have a lot more people on here receiving one.

Maybe they did in fact tell you 20 with confidence. I’m curious to know how many of those builds actually arrive.

 

[MRiley]

This right here. The EVO AWD is the rarest at this point. I rarely seen them, but I see dozens of the RWD. Why? Because it’s a good 70-100k difference between the two when well optioned. Tecnica has a high demand because it’s cheap like RWD, but even more features. If the Tecnica was 325-350k loaded, demand would be minimal.

The AWD is more rare because that car was order only when it came out because of its high price. This is my AWD Huracan Evo with the performante stripe for heritage. I can tell you this car was not as aggressive as the performante but it does perform.

I expect my Tecnica to be more aggressive and responsive as the 640-4 is great to enjoy from 0-60 but not much after that as it feels very heavy. Either way, love the car.

 

[MRiley]

I feel like my dealer got more then 12. But if they tell you that you got a allocation they can cancel it?

If never heard of that happening unless you tip off the dealer somehow. Also, that allocations belongs to
them so they could cancel it if they decided too and offer it to someone else.

 

[MRiley]

Slower top speed…same hp.

I was told the STO has top speed of 195 and the Tecnica is 205. Also when I drive the Tecnica it feels like a RWD performante. The shifts are very poppy and exhilarating. Super exciting!

 

[MRiley]

Tecnica can certainly get to 325k easily…..$350k would be high. But you can do it. lol

Mine is $327k

 

[MRiley]

Stupid question but if there's going to be around 1400 Steratos and the sterrato is limited production doesn't this mean Lamborghini will need to produce more then 1400 technicas. So would this mean 2800 cars all together roughly

This is very interesting and exactly what I’m thinking. I talked to my guys over at Lamboghini and they told me they are fazing out all other Huracan variants and will produce mainly Tecnica and Steratto and since there are not Aventadors being made, they will produce additional Huracan.

So we could see

1499 Steratto
1600 Tecnica

from now until May 2024. Keep in mind a few other Huracan Variants may be in the Tecnica mix. This would mean the CEO of Lamborghini was right about the there not being many Tecnica. Slightly more than the Steratto but not small enough to be Limited. This makes around 3100 total cars from now until 2024.

 

[MRiley]

What did you spec? 😳

I basically got every option I could that I wanted, including painting my door handles red. The livery roof was $12k I believe and my paint Bianco Apollo was $15k. I also added to forge wheels at $20k I believe and more livery and sport packages etc. It adds up really fast 😅

 

[MRiley]

My build is 334k

Wow 😱

 

[MRiley]

Just want to clarify because there is some confusion surrounding STO / Tecnica allocations.

Production numbers has been set by factory
Allocation numbers per dealer are set by factory
Each dealer finds out by Q4 of each year what they will get allocate for the following year.
The only exception is for new vehicle launches.


STO are being made for 2023 that is correct. However, that does not mean factory is giving out additional allocations left and right. The allocations are coming in as factory assigns them to the dealer. But each dealer already know how many cars they are getting each year.

Example: my dealer has 20 tecnica for the entire run. Some will be 2023 and some 2024. They then assign those to customers throughout the next two years. All are spoken for and the waitlist is 50 deep at this point. So as people post “I got an allocation” it doesn’t mean factory is producing more cars than planned. It just means they’re making the cars they already promised to the dealers.

As far as STO goes i was at an esperienza event and a higher up told me the original ceiling was 800, then due to the demand they made it 900, then 1200, and now 1500. He said they will not raise it higher because they do not want more STO than performantes out there.

Having owned 3 perfs I did ask for perf production number in which I was told 1600ish coupe and 350 spyders

The back this, my dealer told me today that they will get 200 new cars next year. I assume Lamborghini informed them of how many allocations they will receive to select from builds etc.


The Tecnica is a transition car and I’m a bit shocked that they are making so many Steratto and it’s a 610. I wonder if they’re just getting ride of those extra 610 engines from the R8 and other variants 😂🤣.

 

[MRiley]

Definitely more than I anticipated. I expected 600 and even 1000 at max but I guess they have different opinions in Italy 🤪
