Additional Lamborghini Huracan Superleggera spy shots have surfaced
as preliminary testing of the Italian supercar gets underway. While the
Huracan has only been on the market for a relatively brief time, it is
little surprise that Lamborghini is already working on an even more
potent and performance-oriented example.
The standard naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine of the
existing Huracan delivers 602 hp and while that’s a 40 hp jump over the
Gallardo LP560-4 it replaced, it is outshone by the likes of the Ferrari
488 GTB and McLaren 650S. Consequently, the Huracan Superleggera is
tipped to receive a modest boost in power to compete with its
twin-turbocharged rivals but that won’t be the whole story.
Weight savings are pinned to play a key role in the hardcore
Huracan’s improved performance with the Gallardo Superleggera weighing a
considerable 100 kg less than the standard car. As a result, we expect
the same kind of weight savings for the Huracan. Additionally, a
selection of visual and aerodynamic modifications will feature.
From a visual standpoint, the following Huracan Superleggera spy
shots show that the rear-end features two additional exhaust pipes
exiting from the middle of the rear bumper in a similar vein to the
Ferrari 458 Speciale. Additionally, it is believed that the Lamborghini
Huracan test mule in question is sporting slightly larger brake calipers
than the current car to inevitably compensate for the additional power
the hardcore Huracan is expected to receive.
Because testing of the car is in its infancy, further details
remain scarce. With that being said, a world premiere at the Geneva
Motor Show 2016 next March is being speculated.
