Lamborghini’s had posted some impressive results
with the Huracan GT3, winning a dozen international titles and prestigious
races like the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. But the GT3 class has become a highly
competitive class, so the Italian manufacturer is aiming to keep its edge with
the release of the new Huracan GT3 Evo.
Available as a turn-key racer or as an upgrade kit
for existing models, Lamborghini has spent the last year or so working with Dallara
on refining the Huracan GT3 Evo, with most of the upgrades made to the car’s
aerodynamics.
The racer features a new front splitter, a new
carbon-fiber hood (to replace the fiberglass piece), larger aero flicks in the
front bumper, and a new carbon-fiber wing and diffuser at the back. The
suspension has been revised as well with new billet-aluminum (instead of steel)
components, along with a revised rear axle and four-way adjustable Öhlins
shocks.
There’s a new hydraulic power steering system
borrowed (along with the hood) from the similarly revised Huracan Super Trofeo
Evo), the ABS has been retuned, the cockpit’s been made more usable, and, last
but not least, the 5.2-liter V10 engine features new camshafts and titanium
valves.
