2023 Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica First Drive: Going Out With A Bang

Steering felt sensitive and responsive throughout, particularly when the rear wheels opted to explore the traction control's advanced slip threshold. Feeling the rear of a $250,000 super car slip out from under you can be a little cheek-clenching, but the Huracán took the extra yaw in stride. In that moment, I recalled having taken the Huracán RWD on track years prior. The lasting memory was how it felt like it was on the razor's edge the whole time. As capable as it was, it wasn't as honed for track use, and the Tecnica demonstrated just how far the Huracán had come since then. Catching the first slide was reassuring, but catching the next few were thrilling.

Once I was done tail-wagging, slipping to Corsa shifted the Tecnica from a satisfying plaything to a deliberate, lap-attacking tool. With even the slightest hesitancy removed from the inputs, the Huracán was as quick as I was, from dialing in the throttle, to paddle flicks, to turning inputs. Slides from the previous sessions were replaced with the Tecnica urging itself inward while my seat danced along with its tease of rotation. I wasn't in the mighty STO in front of me leading the charge, nor was I the professional driver behind its wheel, but I only remembered this when I pulled the car back into the pit.
