The Lamborghini Huracan.
Essentially a replacement to the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Hot Wheels Lamborghini Huracan is based on the LP 610-4 model. In real life, that is a mid-ship V10 with 610 HP and 4-wheel drive. The Hot Wheels first edition of this casting comes in a beautiful yellow hue, obviously based on the Giallo Midas Pearl. And while it isn’t an actual Pearl finish, the shade of yellow is absolutely stunning on this car.
In typical Hot Wheels fashion, the stance is aggressive with wheel-arch filling rollers. The PR5s look good on this car and the tampo’d headlights are a nice touch. Too bad they did not put the same treatment on the taillights, but the Lamborghini text on the rear license plate holder was a nice touch. There is just something about the way Hoy Wheels casts their vehicles that really grab you nowadays. The lines of the car are perfect, the sculpted front and rear end of the car look great, the exhaust and rear valence, and that stance.
There is one annoying thing about this casting that really is a bummer for me. The clear rear bonnet is a Lamborghini signature that ensures you have a good view of the engine powering the beast. On this casting, however, there is a bit of the casting that shows through the clear plastic (but not in a good way). Never mind that the mold of the engine is just black, but the bright yellow metal of the cast is just screaming from under that rear bonnet. It is in the mold of the engine cover though, but it does not really help alleviate the eye-sore that it is.
Overall, this is an excellent addition to the ever-growing lineup of Lamborghinis in the Hot Wheels stable. The only thing missing right now is a Real Riders treatment.
