Lamborghini has revealed that its highly anticipated codenamed 634 model, the successor to the Huracán, will feature a new hybrid twin-turbo V8 engine. This new addition to Lamborghini’s High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) lineup showcases a significant leap in engineering and performance.

The engine is a clean-sheet design from Lamborghini’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. It combines a twin-turbo V8 with a hybrid system incorporating three electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, recently seen in the Lamborghini Revuelto. This hybrid powertrain is engineered to deliver an impressive output of nearly 900 hp.

Its 4L twin-turbo V8 boasts a specific power of 200 hp/liter, delivering 800 hp between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm and can reach a maximum engine speed of 10,000 rpm — figures typically reserved for racing engines. Additionally, the engine generates a maximum torque of 540 lb-ft between 4,000 and 7,000 rpm, promising an exhilarating driving experience.

================

Looks like it is either a new engine not based on the EA825 or a significant re-work. Apparently no AVL cam actuators and changed HPFP position vs EA825. HPFPs look gear-driven vs lobe-follower which makes sense given the ~10k rpm max engine speed. It will be interesting to see a full technical write-up on this.

Going further on the new product topic, it seems reasonable Lamborghini would introduce a grand tourer. With two V8 engines to choose from, project 634 and the EA825, and based on a heavily reworked MSB platform, a front- or front-mid engined 2+2 would be a natural addition to the product lineup.

First Lambo I'm actually interested in. The Reveluto looks revolting but this mockup doesn't look that bad minus the dumb hexagon DRLs or whatever that crap is in the front fascia;




What do ya'll think?

Think it'll drive like crap like the previous gen Hurucans or will it finally have handling to match it's looks?

I'm hoping it doesn't have the issues of the EA825, the V10 was actually pretty stout and reliable.

i thought the previous huracan drove pretty well. granted there was understeer with the awd setup. never thought it sounded as good as a 458 or GT3 either. but it had a ton of low end grunt and impressive brakes. looks stellar too.

this new one seems pretty impressive. im not a fan of turbos but 10k rpm redline? hell yes.

the problem will still be the weight of all this complexity... probably gonna be over 2 tons 'wet' weight. revuelto is estimated to be 4300... if lambo would let a mag really weigh it instead of quoting dry weight

This is a sad day. Now even a Lamborghini doesnt have a V10. This my friends, is the race to the bottom. You don't buy a Lamborghini because of it's outright performance, you buy it knowing there's stuff faster. You buy it because it brings drama. There's a violent loud V10 behind your ears screaming at you.

This just sounds uncharismatic. I bet they use fake engine noise to try to capture some charisma because the turbos will quiet the actual exhaust down a lot.
