Review written on 8/1964.

Many vehicles come and go. Most are duds like the 2480 but a few stand out like the Lucca. So this month, we'll be looking at the Lucca to see where it stands out among the crowd. Is this new Durack a keeper? Or should it rust away with time?


On my first track run in the Durack Lucca suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Roadster. The Lucca's 183 hp @ 2556RPMs 3244 cc V6 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 8.329s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 125 mph. The Lucca is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 125 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 301 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 9878 lbs! On the track you can tell that the Durack Lucca is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Roadster would not be able to keep up with the Lucca on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Roadster I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!


Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Durack Lucca. The Lucca has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Durack did a great job.

25 cu-ft puts the Durack Lucca roughly in line with other vehicles in its class. We would consider this to be enough space for everyday use of a vehicle of this type. We certainly wouldn't use it if you're looking to haul a bunch of junk around.

Serious effort goes into every Durack Lucca produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Durack in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.


The Durack Lucca did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Durack Lucca is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Durack Lucca should last a very long time.

The 26.8 mpg city and might not look great. And it isn't. But there are worst options out there. That is no excuse however. The Durack Lucca needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.

The extra effort from Durack to make the Lucca feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.


When you drive the Durack Lucca you'll see other Roadster on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Durack. Simple answer, they're stupid!
