The Lamborghini-Huracan-LP620-2–C was unveiled a few days ago during the prestigious Monterey Car Week and is a pure race bred car developed for its own racing series the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo.
Lamborghini’s motorsport head of Research & Development, Maurizio Reggiani, explained the basic blueprint behind this race car monster “The Huracan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo is an all-new car built from scratch with a clear racing concept. Every feature is engineered for sophisticated high performance, complying with the strictest motorsport safety standards.”
The dry weight of the Huracan Super Trofeo is 1,270 Kg, with a weight distribution of 42/58%. The skeletal frame is composed of a “hybrid” carbon/aluminum construction, the radiator has been moved up front to better accommodate the racing gearbox at the rear which in turn helps to improve aerodynamics.
The body is made up of composite materials, combination of two or more materials. The engine is the basic 5.2 litre V10 found on the road car which has been increased by 10 bhp giving a grand total of 612 bhp a 0-62 time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.
This rear-wheel-drive Lamborghini bad boy is loaded with aerodynamic assists, two-way adjustable racing dampers and pretty much everything else Lambo’s motorsport department could throw at it.
Debuting at next years series Super Trofeo Championship we reckon if you can scrape together £300,00 GBP then you can probably get on the waiting list.
