PURRR-FECT

Lamborghini has built an acoustic test room dedicated to making its cars sound sexier

Next generation Lamborghini Huracan and the new Urus will be fine-tuned in the multi-million pound test centre

IF you're buying a £150,000 Lamborghini Huracan it can't just look the part - it's got to sound it too.

Thankfully, the Italian bosses at Lambo understand this and have invested in a new room at their factory designed exactly for hearing the engine purr.

The acoustic test room is part of a multi-million pound investment into its Bologna plant.

It might not look much but the sound-proofed rectangle will help develop one of the key selling points of a supercar.

The room will allow engineers to fine tune the engine note so the V10 and V12 motors sound perfect whether you're cruising through the Italian mountains or the French Riviera.

With new lightweight materials being introduced into production of future vehicles, it'll help engineers tweak the noise of Lamborghinis of the future.

A Lamborghini spokesman said: "The sound of a Lamborghini represents one of the most emotive experiences attached to the super sports car marque.
