The Huracán and 488 are the two cars almost every first-time supercar renter ends up choosing between. Both are mid-engine V8s in their twin-turbo era (488) and naturally-aspirated V10 era (Huracán), both deliver supercar performance you can comfortably drive on PCH, and both fit the LA aesthetic equally well.

The choice usually comes down to soundtrack and steering feel. The Huracán is louder and more theatrical; the 488 is more precise and feels lighter on the wheel.

Our verdict

Best for the soundtrack: Huracán. The naturally-aspirated V10 is the louder, more dramatic engine — it's the Lamborghini sound that defines the brand.

Best for steering precision: Ferrari 488. The Ferrari is lighter on the wheel, more communicative, and feels more like a track car you can drive on the road.

Best for daily comfort: Huracán. The Lamborghini's ride is slightly softer and the cabin layout is more usable for a multi-hour weekend.

Best for first-time supercar renters: Huracán. More forgiving at the limit, easier to live with for a first weekend.

Best for second-time renters who want more: Ferrari 488. The 488 rewards a driver who knows what they want.

Common questions

Which is faster, the Huracán or the 488?
Effectively tied at the road-legal limit. The Huracán EVO's naturally-aspirated 5.2L V10 produces 631hp; the Ferrari 488 GTB's twin-turbo 3.9L V8 produces 661hp. Both run 0-60 in the high 2-second range. On a public road, the difference is the soundtrack and the throttle response, not the lap time.
Which is more reliable as a rental?
Both are well-engineered modern supercars and our fleet sees minimal mechanical issues with either. The Huracán's naturally-aspirated V10 has slightly fewer moving parts than the 488's twin-turbo V8, which is a marginal reliability advantage on paper but rarely shows up in practice.
Which has more cargo space?
Functionally tied — both have a small front trunk that fits a soft bag and not much else. Neither is a touring car. For weekend trips with luggage, ask about our McLaren GT or the Aston Martin DBX instead.
Which is louder?
Huracán. The naturally-aspirated V10 is the louder, higher-revving engine, especially in Sport / Corsa modes. The 488's twin-turbo V8 is louder than most cars but quieter than the V10.
Can I rent both for the same weekend?
Yes — a Huracán + 488 weekend is a popular request from supercar enthusiasts who want to compare back-to-back. Multi-vehicle weekend pricing applies.
