huracan tecnica

[cmcm3]

Hi guys! I have a build slot for a 2024 delivery Tecnica and I'm very excited by all the chat about how fantastic they are. As I'm fairly new to the world of buying cars at this level, I'm looking for some advice (based on previous experience - say Gallardo to Huracan) as to how values of the Tecnica will fair once the Huracan replacement is announced/hits the streets? The buy-in price on the Tecnica is manageable for me, but not sweeties money, and I would prefer not to be looking at a £50k+ hole 12-18 months from delivery. Really interested in your experiences.

Tecnica is the last, best and rarest Huracan derivative (if you exclude the off road serrato thing ).
Also its last N/a V10 from Lambo. cf 458/speciale

All of the above bodes well for residuals and even in todays soft/depressed market they are currently fetching premiums.
Its better than Performante and you can see how strong their residuals are now
Once actual production ( all allocations sold out now ) is finally closed down which is next year there is usually an upturn in prices as people unable to obtain an allocation try to snap any used ones up

Don't worry you aren't likely to lose your shirt anytime soon and longer term they could become the next 458 speciale

Ignore the boo boys who will undoubtedly come along and try to say otherwise

i think residuals will fair well for a couple of reasons - the price of the replacement is going up. the revuelto is 450 list with no options, so the replacement may be near 300, which means its no cheap car to get into. secondly it is likely to be a v8 turbo hybrid, not a v10 n/a hybrid, so the huracan will be the last na supercar

traditionally lambo's dont attract premiums like ferrari's did, the gallardo superleggera did not appreciate like the speciale, but i think brand appeal has changed massively so demand for a lambo is much higher from a younger crowd... the performante was overs initially, then dropped, now is back to list or above

though not numbered the technica is as exclusive as the sterrato so maybe you will be okay, the reviews are certainly all positive which was not the case with the gallardo as there was a herd mentality to diss the e gear transmission....

Interesting recent vid, real world weight test and the tecnica and sto are more or less identical, it is a STO touring in essence.

These are fantastic looking cars. I imagine if you went back to the dealer the day after you’d collected it, they’d want a 15% spread to take it off your hands. Add that to normal depreciation and you’ll not be far off. Losing 25% over 12-18 months on a brand new Lamborghini would seem like getting off pretty lightly to me.

With decent spec cars coming in at £250k you think being offered sub £200k in 18 months time is getting off lightly ?

Glad I don't share your pessimism but it is a strange market at the moment.
Don't think you would be wrong with your assumption on run of the mill over produced cars but this is a Tecnica with very limited production numbers as well as being the last N/A V10 from Lamborghini. This is lambos equivalent of the 458/speciale and look at those residuals

20% loss including the dealers spread in 18 months would seem a reasonable mid case assumption. Below the long run average for these types of non limited cars I’d imagine.

Might not be a numbered limited car but production slots were very limited by time and supply making it the rarest huracan derivative.
Even less than STO

I might be biased but what do I know about residuals owning a F355GTS, 430 Scuderia, Mclaren 67LT spider and now a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica

458s are abundant but being the last N/A V8 ferrari certainly enhanced their residuals.

This is the best and last of a dying breed proper old school supercar with a famous well renowned powerplant the likes of which will never been seen again

All cars are limited by time. Over the long term, only those that are actually limited by volume have proven immune from depreciation.

Perhaps this one will be resilient but the point above was that a £50k hit in 12-18 months would be painful for the buyer. It would seem sensible to me to assume that on a brand new, non limited Lamborghini model which is due to be replaced, bought at list in a period of macro economic turmoil, a 20% loss would not be an unrealistic outcome. If it’s less, happy days. History tells us it’ll be more.

I must agree with the Calculator !

Problem is the low interest rate, post Covid exuberance has ( or had ) skewed the market.

That is all seemingly starting to wash out and you would imagine we'll see things going back to 'normal' sooner rather than later.

And normal up until relatively recently was 18 month old Performantes being advertised for £50K off...

Not sure I fully buy into the 'last of a dying breed' rhetoric as regards the motor ... yes it's epic and yes there won't be any more; but it's not like there is a shortage of them.

To the OP: I know resale is always a consideration and nobody likes to take a haircut on these items, but got to be realistic as to what the next 18months might bring I think..

[Nuttbelle]

But not all cars only have an 18 month production run in a period with severe component supply constraints.

458s were built for 48 months in both coupe and spider derivatives so obviously the numbers built is far bigger.
Specale is probably more comparable in terms of build time and numbers and they weren't limited by number so its not impossible that Tecnica could follow a similar depreciation path.
With V10 N/A Huracans going out of production shortly and the new V8 hybrid costing over £300k Tecnica prices will remain strong over next 18 months and long term IMHO
2014 launch Huracans with 30k miles are still £125k now FFS

The cars being advertised for signifacant overs seem to have calmed down a fair bit.

Wonder what dealers are offering on the £120k early Huracans that are available now. £100k?

Yeah market has cooled but only a few low spec poor examples for sale so not sure its representative if its flippers just wanting their money back now.

Price normally bounces up once production is finally closed which is 2024

I have lost count how many cars I have purchased Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys,Porsches, I picked up my new Tecnica last week in Arancio Borealis and I must say that the Tecnica is the best of them all, its perfect in every way, the power, sound, brakes, steering and looks, I can not fault it. This will be the Huracan to have and its only a limited production run so there will not be many of these around! The replacement is a V8 Hybrid so I assume this is good news from a resale perspective as people sill still want a V10 N./A.

A friend sold his STO and purchased a Tecnica , the STO is a track car and not a road car and he said the Tecnica is the best of them all, all the you tube reviews are spot on.

Rambo you know having multiple accounts will lead to yet another ban for you right?

Agree totally with above. Traded in my STO for the Tecnica, congrats on Arancio Borealis as well, apparently they are the fastest and loudest. Get the valves open permanently

Just look at Aventador SVJ prices.
They dipped initially and even struggled to sell but now Revulto is out and costing £450k they have shot up.

The huracan replacement is a V8 hybrid and will be £300k + so even in a soft market I don't see tecnicas dropping much before going up over list again in 2024

Don't mind the exterior colour but did stevie wonder choose the red interior.
Still a bargain at £15k over list price with that basic spec.

When they are gone, they are gone FOREVER.
RIP the naturally aspirated V10 masterpiece.
No white good will ever be as good and the golden era of supercars is coming to an end.
Scouring back catalogues now to add to the Tecnica, 675LT, 430 scuderia and F355GTS

458 Speciale probably top of the list
