Overview

2018 Lamborghini Huracan

The 2018 Lamborghini Huracan is a high-performance supercar defined by its naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine and aggressive styling. Delivering power through an Automatic (AM-S7) transmission and All-Wheel Drive, it offers a visceral driving experience. While it boasts a 'Good' reliability verdict, prospective owners should be aware of 4 recalls, primarily concerning the headlight system and rearview camera software, though no consumer complaints have been registered with NHTSA. Its combined 16 MPG means high fuel costs are a given, typical for a vehicle in this class.

Multiple recalls (22V081000, 23V826000) have been issued for the 2018 Huracan regarding issues with headlight adjustment mechanisms and software control.
