The hood of the second electrified Lamborghini will house a hybrid heart capable of beating at 10,000 rpm.
The Lamborghini 634, code name for the successor to the Huracán, will be equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine, combined with a hybrid system integrating three electric motors and the recently debuted eight-speed dual-clutch transmission on the Lamborghini Revuelto.
The twin-turbo V8 features a displacement of 4.0 liters and an exceptional specific power of 200 hp/liter. It is truly befitting a Lamborghini. The maximum power delivered by the thermal engine will be 800 hp between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm, reaching a peak engine speed of 10,000 rpm. A figure usually reserved for naturally aspirated racing engines, making the new V8 unique in the landscape of high-performance street cars. It is also unique in terms of peak torque, with 730 Nm delivered between 4,000 and 7,000 rpm.
The electric system is positioned between the thermal engine and the dual-clutch transmission and includes the inverter and the axial electric unit. It is capable of generating high torque and power values, with a maximum of 300 Nm and 110 kW at 3,500 rpm, while maintaining compact dimensions and low weight.
The sound of a Lamborghini
But a Lamborghini is certainly characterized by its extraordinary technical specifications, but also by its sound. Easy with a V12 or an atmospheric V10, but what remained to be defined was a unique and distinctive sound for this engine to offer the driver an unparalleled driving experience. The characteristics of the new V8 intensify in a crescendo that reaches its peak in volume and frequency content at high revs.
The launch of the Lamborghini 634 is scheduled for 2024 and marks another important step in the “Direzione Cor Tauri” program, which is steering Lamborghini toward progressive electrification of its lineup, initiated in 2023 with the Revuelto and continuing with the unveiling of the Urus SE in April 2024.
