Some of us are quite pleased that Lamborghini has brought back some of the bolder exterior colors of the 1970s (but less thrilled about the green interior) to its new Huracán LP610-4, like the “Verde Mantis” that translates to “Green (Praying) Mantis” seen on this example that was photographed in Marbella, Spain.
If you’re wondering how the Huracán ended up in southern Spain, the guys over at Pistonheads have the answer, as the same car was featured in their test drive that included a few laps around the nearby Ascari racetrack (about an hour’s drive from Marbella). Evidently, Lamborghini hosted the press event in the region.
The new Huracán that replaces the 10-year old Gallardo will try to steal the thunder from supercars like the McLaren 650S (see Chris Harris’ Ascari track drive here) and Ferrari 458. Behind the passenger compartment, you’ll find a naturally aspirated 602hp (610PS) 5.2-liter V10 engine driving all four wheels through a newly designed seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
