Lamborghini to discontinue Huracán, stages tribute tour

MANILA: Lamborghini is getting ready to bid the iconic Huracán farewell.

And to celebrate the nameplate’s 10-year lifespan, the Italian carmaker has staged an epic drive, which showcased the full range of current production Huracán models.

The cortège traveled the Apennine roads from Bologna to Forte dei Marmi against a solemn autumn backdrop. The cars used in the Huracán tribute tour included the Huracán EVO Spyder, Huracán Sterrato, Huracán Tecnica, and Huracán STO — all in unique Ad Personam specifications highlighting the individuality of each car.

Guests driving their super sports cars met up at Palazzo di Varignana where — Lamborghini pointed out — “they enjoyed a dinner on the Royal Train, in the same carriage sent by King Umberto II of Savoy to his future bride Maria Josè of Belgium, on which she joined him at Turin and crossed Italy together during their honeymoon.”

In the morning the company set out to travel through Castel del Rio and the Giogo for an extra virgin olive oil tasting session. Late that afternoon, they made their way to Forte dei Marmi and finally settled at Villa Alpebella for their dinner. They were welcomed by the villa owners: Maestro Andrea Bocelli, his wife Veronica, and his son Matteo.

The next day, Lamborghini took the company to visit the Valsora white marble quarry and the Taverna dello Scoiattolo via Cioccorally. They finally made it to the last stop after crossing the Abetone pass, which was Sant'Agata Bolognese.

“As defined by the Lamborghini Cor Tauri strategy, Huracán will later be replaced by a hybrid super sports car,” Lamborghini wrote in a press release.
