When the Lamborghini Huracan
made its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, 
everyone knew that it had some enormous shoes to fill as the successor to theGallardo, 
the best-selling Lamborghini model in history. As far as shadows are concerned, the Gallardo cast an enormous one on the Huracan. As it turns out, the Huracan is doing mighty fine on its own after breaking 3,000 units in global sales in a span of 10 months. Oh, and 1,000 of those units were sold in the US.
For a little perspective, Lamborghini 
sold exactly 2,121 cars in 2013. This year, the Huracan alone has reached 3,000 sold units with a little over two months left in 2014. That’s a pretty darn good reason to brag, something Lamborghini has no problem doing when the situation calls for it.

You can’t blame the Italian automaker for puffing its chest. The Huracan not only helped Lambo generate its best year this century, it also made a lot of people forget about the pressure it first had when it took the baton from the Gallardo. If the Huracan’s sales keeps this pace, it’s poised to break 15,000 units sold in five years, breaking the Gallardo’s record of 14,022 units sold in its ten-year run from 2003 to 2013. That’s incredible to think about, but the Huracan is riding a wave of popularity right now and that wave is certain to break at some point in the next year or so.
Regardless of the future success, the Lamborghini Huracan is proving to be a worthy successor to the Gallardo.
Only time will tell if the Huracan takes the reigns from its predecessor as the best-selling Lamborghini of all time. It’s off to a really good start though
