Lamborghini Huracan

Several new supercars, vehicles costing more than 100,000 euros ($137,000), are vying this week to upstage one another at the Geneva International Motor Show. The offerings in the segment, dominated by European manufacturers, reflect the revival of the region’s auto industry after a six-year slump.

The wave of horsepower-heavy models, including Bugatti’s 2.18 million-euro Rembrandt, on display at the show underscores the return of performance cars following years in which some producers held back. Lamborghini headlined the trend by debuting the 610-horsepower Huracan, which replaces the $181,900 Gallardo, their all-time best seller.

Lamborghini had more than 1,000 orders for the Huracan, even before the March 3 premiere, when white, yellow and dark grey models slinked across a stage in Geneva. Winkelmann said deliveries of the car next year should exceed the 1,800 peak sales of the Gallardo on the U.S., china and a rebound in some European markets.
