Compare the2022 Lamborghini HuracánVS 2022 Chevrolet Corvette

The Lamborghini Huracán has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Corvette doesn’t offer knee airbags.

The Huracán offers all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Corvette doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The Huracán offers optional parking sensors to help warn the driver about vehicles, pedestrians or other obstacles behind or in front of their vehicle. The Corvette doesn’t offer a front parking aid.

Both the Huracán and the Corvette have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

For smoother operation, better efficiency and fewer moving parts, the engines in the Huracán have an overhead cam design, rather than the old pushrod design of the engines in the Corvette.

The Huracán has more powerful engines than the Corvette:

As tested in Motor Trend the Huracán Evo is faster than the Corvette Z51:

In a Road and Track race course test, the Lamborghini Huracán Evo Coupe was clocked 2.83 seconds faster than the Chevrolet Corvette Coupe (80 sec. vs. 82.83 sec.).

In heavy traffic or at stop lights the Huracán’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. The Corvette doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.

The Huracán has 2.6 gallons more fuel capacity than the Corvette (21.1 vs. 18.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

All wheel drive, available in the Huracán, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Chevrolet Corvette is not available with all wheel drive.

For better stopping power the Huracán’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Corvette:

The Huracán AWD has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The Corvette doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

The Huracán stops much shorter than the Corvette:

The Huracán AWD’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Corvette’s 35 series front tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Huracán AWD has standard 20-inch wheels. The Corvette’s largest wheels are only 19-inches in the front and 20-inches in the rear.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Huracán is .8 inches wider in the front and 1.4 inches wider in the rear than on the Corvette.

The Huracán Coupe AWD handles at 1.14 G’s, while the Corvette Coupe pulls only 1.03 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Huracán Evo Coupe executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.2 seconds quicker than the Corvette Coupe (22.2 seconds @ 1 average G’s vs. 23.4 seconds @ .86 average G’s).

The Lamborghini Huracán may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 250 to 400 pounds less than the Chevrolet Corvette.

The Huracán is 4.4 inches shorter than the Corvette, making the Huracán easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Huracán has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The Corvette doesn’t offer headlight washers.

Motor Trend performed a comparison test in its March 2021 issue and they ranked the Lamborghini Huracán Evo Coupe first. They ranked the Chevrolet Corvette Coupe fifth.

The Huracán was chosen as one of Automobile Magazine’s “All Stars” in 2015. The Corvette has never been an “All Star.”
