Lamborghini developed a new V8 engine

Lamborghini is currently developing the successor to the Huracan, and the prototype goes by the name 634. With this car, Lamborghini will complete the transition to an electrified range that currently consists of the Revuelto and the plug-in hybrid Urus SE, and according to information from the company, it will be powered by a new hybrid V8 engine.

Lamborghini is part of the Volkswagen Group, and several other group companies, including Porsche, offer a 4.0-L V8 twin-turbo engine. However, this powertrain will not be used in the Huracan successor, as Lamborghini claims to have developed a new hybrid V8 engine.

Details about the electric motors that will be part of the powertrain remain unknown, but it is known that there will be three electric motors and that one will be between the V8 engine and the eight-speed gearbox. However, the car won’t sound like your average hybrid. It will have a shorter range using only electric drive, but Lamborghini promises the sound of a modern supercar.

The Lamborghini 634 will be powered by a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with around 800 hp (596 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. As a reminder, the Huracan is powered by a 5.2-L naturally aspirated V10 engine with 640 hp (477 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. Also, the Revuelt is powered by a V12 engine with 825 hp (615 kW).
