Huracan fuel efficiency

What is the mpg for a Lamborghini Huracan?

Most people who are considering a Huracan in their future, are not typically too concerned with fuel efficiency, but it is still a curious question, and it highlights many differences between Huracan models. Let’s dig into the numbers and discuss the mpg for a Lamborghini Huracan.

Current Huracan models

Currently there are five Huracan models. We have the Coupe and Spyder along with their rear-wheel drive versions, and we also have the Performante model. Below you can see all the Huracan models listed along with both EPA and European fuel economy numbers. We did this because the European numbers actually highlight some subtle differences that the EPA numbers do not reflect.

Differences between Lamborghini Roadster and Spyder


How does European fuel economy work?

Unlike EPA fuel economy where higher numbers are better, in European fuel economy ratings, lower numbers are better. This is because they flip the fuel economy equation upside down from the way we are use to in the states. Instead of miles per gallon, they essentially use gallons per 100 miles, except they do it with the metric units of liters and kilometers respectively.

Why are there differences in efficiency across the Huracan models?

You may be wondering why the Spyder versions get less fuel economy, and that can mostly be attributed to added weight. The idea of added weight on a Spyder may seem a little counterintuitive, but a lot has to be done to stiffen and reinforce the car to make up for the lack of a roof.

Rear-wheel drive adds another interesting dimension to those numbers. Interestingly enough, the city efficiency doesn’t change, even though the RWD weight is less, a RWD car is less efficient at accelerating in city conditions in a lot of circumstances. So the gains and losses counteract each other. The weight difference is more apparent in the highway efficiency.
