Where each one leads
Ford Mustang
- On Canada's official test the most frugal 2026 Ford Mustang uses 9.1 l/100 km, the 2024 Lamborghini Huracan 15.9.
- New Ford Mustang cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 266 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 333 for the Lamborghini Huracan in 2022.
Lamborghini Huracan
- Against cars of the same year, the Lamborghini Huracan comes out better in New York safety inspections (fails 100% less often than average) than the Ford Mustang (fails 37% less often than average).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
