Every other automaker is working on updates or the 2016 model year, so why can’t Lamborghini? This week, the Italian supercar manufacturer revealed the updates to the 2016 rendition of its Huracán LP 610-4. Sure, it isn’t getting a new look, but it does get a few stylistic and technological updates.

While the 5.2-liter V-10 engine powering the Huracán remains unchanged in terms of power, it does get reductions in emissions and fuel consumption. These improvements are thanks to a new cylinder-deactivation feature that shuts down five of the Huracán’s 10 cylinders when the engine’s full capacity is not needed. While Lambo didn’t announce the specific boost in fuel economy, it did announce that its emissions drop from 290 g/km to 283 g/km.

Lamborghini also retuned the Huracán’s all-wheel-drive system for the new model year. This refinement is noticeable when in STRADA mode. In this mode, drivers will notice that the all-wheel-drive system feels more neutral than before, delivering a better driving feel.

On the inside, Lamborghini expanded the Huracán’s color and trim options. Other refinements include standard leather on the door panels and the upper dashboard, and matte-black air vents.

Also changed up for the new year are the available options. For 2016, buyers can get a 390-watt, ten-channel amp and 10 speakers, an optional sports exhaust with a style package that includes gloss-black tailpipes, LED engine compartment lighting, a transparent hood, and more.

Lamborghini didn’t announce when the 2016 Huracán will hit showrooms, but it did mention that its price will remain unchanged at €169,500 ($182,212) in Europe, but it didn’t announce its official price in the U.S. Chances are that it’ll carry the same $237,250 base MSRP it did in 2015.
