Lamborghini builds 20,000th Huracan as hardcore STO drives sales

After eight years of production, Lamborghini has reached a major milestone for the V10-engined Huracan – with 20,000 supercars now sold.

Lamborghini has built the 20,000th example of its V10-engined Huracan supercar. After eight years in production, it marks a major milestone for the Italian company. 

Since 2014, Lamborghini has created 12 different road-going versions, along with three bespoke motorsport offerings. 

The 20,000th car is a Huracan STO in Grigio Acheso Matt paint, destined for a customer in Monaco.

Evolution of a supercar

The Huracan was launched with the LP 610-4 coupe, first shown at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Lamborghini announced the open-top Huracan LP 610-4 Spyder at the Frankfurt Motor Show a year later.

Since 2014, some 71 percent of buyers have opted for the Huracan in coupe form, compared with 29 percent choosing the Spyder

The United States has accounted for almost a third (32 percent) of Huracan sales overall. Britain and China have also been key markets for Lamborghini’s ‘junior’ supercar. 

Last year saw Huracan sales reach 2,586 cars, boosted by interest in the flagship Huracan STO.

A consistent winner on-track

Motorsport has been a major part of the Huracan’s story. Close to 500 racing cars have been built, in Super Trofeo, GT3 and GT3 Evo specifications. 

Between them, they have claimed more than 40 championship titles and 117 victories in 12 racing series around the world.

Lamborghini is the only manufacturer to have won the 24 Hours of Daytona GTD class three consecutive times, using the Huracan. It also claimed victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring two years in a row (2018 and 2019).

A limited-edition Huracan Squadra Corse was released in 2019, celebrating 10 years of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo.

‘Super sports emotion’

Personalisation has become a key part of the Huracan buying process. Lamborghini notes that 60 percent of customers use its Ad Personam customisation scheme, with access to 300 exterior paint colours.  

This included creating a bespoke Huracan for the Pope, finished in papal colours. The car has been put to work at the Guglielmo Marconi Airport in Bologna, too.

Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said: “The Huracan has delivered an evolution of design, technological know-how, driving adventures, track records and sales records since its launch. It was designed as a car to provide super sports emotion in every environment, from daily driving to thrilling performance on-track.”
