My FH5 Log: Horizon Heroes - Lamborghini Huracan

Our Forza Horizon 10th anniversary celebration continues with the showcasing of the next Horizon Hero, the hero car of Forza Horizon 2 known as the Lamborghini Huracan.

Forza Horizon 2, the sequel to the hit 2012 Forza Horizon video game, was launched on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles on September 30, 2014. The Xbox One version of the game harnessed the console's powers of Forza Motorsport 5's ForzaTech engine, delivering realistic visuals that give life to the players' Southern European experience. It was the first in the Forza franchise to showcase dynamic weather changes. 

In this game, players are enjoying an epic road trip across France and Italy on their own terms while doing what Horizon does best; road racing, offroad racing, street racing, PR stunts, and Showcase Events. It even featured Car Meets so other players can show off their cars as well as Bucket List challenges to test their driving skills. 

Thanks to the dynamic weather change FH2 delivers, players are going to the extremes with the Storm Island expansion which features a tropical island with severe weather patterns, not to mention the rally upgrades they need for their cars while tackling Storm Island's worsts. Aside from Storm Island, FH2 welcomes Porsche back in the franchise with the Porsche Expansion as well as the standalone FH2 Presents Fast & Furious game featuring cars from the Furious 7 movie.

Anyway, about the hero car, the Lamborghini Huracan is the successor of the Lamborghini Gallardo which was named after a Mayan god. It was powered by a 5.2L V10 engine developing 602HP of power and when mated to a double-clutch gearbox derived from the Audi R8 as well as its 4WD system, it has a top speed of 202mph.

The Lamborghini Huracan has gone through numerous updates over its near-decade lifespan and with reports that it is Audi R8 derivative is heading to the great junkyard of the sky, it will forever be known as the last V10-powered car in existence.

With the last of the dying breed got its say, it's time to give the Huracan some Horizon Europe vibes by racing through the streets of Guanajuato in Forza Horizon 5. What can I say? It's for the sake of nostalgia and while the party's kicking into halftime, let's give the hero of Horizon Europe the hero's welcome it deserves. Roll the tape.

Still got the moves after all the struggle from the Europe adventure several years ago.

With the Huracan kicking the Forza Horizon's 10th anniversary into halftime, next time, let's get to know the hero of Horizon Australia, the Lamborghini Centenario.

See you again.
