Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the new Huracan
Super Trofeo EVO. Developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse, the Huracan Super
Trofeo EVO builds on the success of its predecessor by adopting an improved
aerodynamics package which aims to "maintain the same high downforce of
the previous model while achieving higher overall aerodynamic efficiency."
The company worked
with Dallara Engineering to develop a new carbon fiber body kit which helps to
improve stability while also reducing drag. The changes are pretty dramatic as
Lamborghini says all the components have been "completely redesigned"
except the front splitter, flat floor, and rear diffuser.
Thanks to these modifications, as well as the
addition of a roof hatch, the Huracan Super Trofeo EVO has "8% less
resistance to forward motion" than its predecessor. This helped the model
to lap the Monza track in 1:43.3 which is 1.5 seconds faster than the previous
model.
Motivation is provided by a naturally aspirated
5.2-liter V10 engine that produces 620 PS. It is connected to a
six-speed sequential shift transmission which sends power to the rear wheels.
This enables the car to hit an electronically limited top speed of 280 km/h.
The model will enter competition next spring and the
car will be eligible to compete in the one-make Lamborghini Super Trofeo
series. The Huracan can also compete in the Gran Turismo Championship in both
Endurance races as well as the GT Cup category.
Pricing starts at US$ 295,000 in the United States and
€ 235,000 in Europe. Owners of the current Huracan Super Trofeo will also have
the option of purchasing the new aerodynamic package.
