The 2023 Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica has arrived in Australia as the last rear-drive, naturally-aspirated V10 Lamborghini ever.

Although Lamborghini Australia has its entire allocation of Tecnicas spoken for currently, the waiting list is still open should you want to shell out $440,900 before on-road costs and options on the last of the Huracans.

For reference, a ‘regular’ Huracan Evo RWD cost $56,000 less when you could buy one.

The Huracan Tecnica makes the same 470kW and 565Nm from its mid-mounted 5.2-litre V10 as the track-focused STO.

Outside, the rear-drive Tecnica’s visual makeover is striking and it features functional aerodynamic devices including front air curtains to cool brakes and smooth airflow.

Strictly speaking, the Tecnica isn’t the last of the Huracans, as the ‘Sterrato’ (though whether it will be called that is yet to be confirmed) dirt-road variant will be released in December this year.

Lamborghini’s next moves include hybridising its range from next year, beginning with the Aventador’s successor, before revealing the Huracan’s replacement in 2024 and its first all-electric model in 2028.

What makes the Tecnica so special?

The entire allocation of Huracan Evo and STO are sold out, so this is the only Huracan you can order from Lamborghini right now.

The Huracan Tecnica is also the only naturally aspirated V10 on sale, with the Ferrari 296 GTB moving to a V6, Aston Martins a twin-turbo V8 and the Audi R8 off sale in Australia.

Available exclusively in rear-wheel drive with a torque vectoring rear differential, the Tecnica also boasts impressive aerodynamic improvements. Down force is said to be increased by 35 per cent compared to the Huracan Evo thanks to its aero aids.

Usually extra aero comes at a cost, but Lamborghini claims drag has been cut by 20 per cent as well, making the Tecnica faster in every way.

Lamborghini claims a 0-100km/h sprint of 3.2 seconds before going onto 200km/h in 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 325km/h.

Being rear-drive only, the seven-speed automatic Tecnica is a little slower than an Evo AWD (2.9S), but Lamborghini claims the Tecnica’s dry weight is 1370kg – 82kg lighter than an Evo RWD.

The aero-inspired redesigns make the Tecnica more angular, aggressive and futuristic than the almost-subdued Evo.

Lamborghini has redesigned the front bumper with additional cooling vents to provide greater longevity for the standard carbon ceramic brakes on track.

The Tecnica wears Bridgestone tyres wrapped around bespoke ‘Damiso’ 20-inch alloy wheels. Buyers will be able to choose between two tread patterns: One better suited to regular use, and another to withstand track abuse.

For those wanting to hit the racetrack, the Tecnica is covered by Lamborghini’s three-year unlimited-kilometre warranty even when used in anger away from the public road.

Lamborghini has redesigned the layout and look of the Tecnica’s 8.4-inch portrait touchscreen. There are options for car settings, drive modes and entertainment housed within.

The example we sat in wore matte grey paint with Alcantara interior trimmings and contrasting blue highlights, but the Huracan is your oyster.

Lamborghini’s broad spectrum of colours includes over 300 hues and shades, with further customisation available through the brand’s Ad Personam program.

Pricing and availability

An unoptioned Huracan Tecnica will set you back $440,900 before on-road costs, but according to Lamborghini Oceania manager Peter Crombie-Brown, not many will be sold without some option boxes ticked.

Currently you can’t order a Tecnica, but you can get on the waiting list. There isn’t a numbered allocation of cars for Australia, but about 100 vehicles will come to Australia.
