Our mothers always preached that patience embodies a virtue, and good things come to those who wait. Well, both statements proved accurate as the Cardinals playoff run had delayed the unveiling of Lamborghini’s 2015 Huracan. Alas, the Cardinals World Series hope faded, but a select crowd kicked off the next generation of powerful roadsters, Friday, October 17, 2014.
Lamborghini St. Louis, part of the St. Louis Motorcars group, hosted a soiree to unveil the Lamborghini Huracan. Named for a fighting bull, this smooth, sleek super-premium sports car lives up to the Lamborghini reputation of speed, luxury, and agility, going 0-100+ miles per hour in 15 seconds. Some of the other specifications include a 5.2 Liters, V10 90° naturally aspirated engine; the Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDS) 7-speed dual clutch transmission. It perpetuates a long line of superior roadsters.
Founded in 1963, Automobili Lamborghini is headquartered in Sant’Agata Bolognese, in Northeastern Italy. There it manufactures some of the world’s most sought-after super sports cars.
With this year’s presentation of the best-in-class Aventador LP 700-4 at the Geneva Auto Show, Lamborghini has marked another milestone in the history of luxury super sports cars.
With more than 120 dealerships worldwide, Automobili Lamborghini is building on a succession of dynamic and elegant super sports cars including the 350GT, Miura, Espada, Countach, Diablo, Murciélago, Reventón Coupe, Reventón Roadster, Gallardo LP 560-4 Coupé and Spyder, Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera and the last open version LP 570-4 Spyder Performante.
St. Louis Motorcars opened on December 9, 2002 as Bentley St. Louis. It since has expanded to seven luxury brands, selling and servicing Bentley, Maserati, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Aston-Martin, Lamborghini, Lotus, and Bugatti.
