Lamborghini will be officially unveiling the new Huracán LP 580-2 at the 2015 Los Angeles Motor Show, a two wheel drive variant of the Huracán coupe.
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini said, “The Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2 continues the Lamborghini tradition of pure, visionary and technology-driven models. The rear-wheel drive model fits perfectly into our Huracán family, appealing to those wanting an even more intense driving experience, or who currently drive other rear-wheel- drive marques and aspire to driving a Lamborghini. This is the purest expression of a Lamborghini to date, with class-leading technological refinements. It is a serious car for serious drivers: it is maximum driving fun.”
Like its four wheel drive sibling, the Huracán LP 580-2 is also powered by the same 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, good for 580 hp and 540 Nm of torque. Unlike its predecessor, the Gallardo LP 510-2, the newer Huracán won’t be offered with a manual transmission, sticking to its seven-speed dual-clutch instead. This new Huracán variant takes 3.4 seconds to hit 100 km/h from standstill, before reaching a V-max of 320 km/h.
Visually, the Huracán LP 580-2 features a revised front end, with large, newly formed front air intakes designed to direct the cooling air and headwind to increase down pressure on the front axle. This variant also drops the movable rear spoiler, opting for a fixed rear spoiler lip that works together with the rising diffuser in the underbody to improve airflow around the rear of the car.
Brakes are supplemented by steel brakes with aluminum brake disc calipers all round (365 mm front, 356 mm rear), while the 19-inch Kari rims are new. The new rims are wrapped with specially-designed Pirelli PZero rubbers.
Like other Lamborghini models, the Huracán LP 580-2 is available in the full range of external and internal colors and trims. The Huracán LP 580-2 is also fitted with the latest Lamborghini Infotainment System II, featuring a 12.3-inch high resolution TFT instrument panel.
Buyers in Europe can visit their nearest Lamborghini dealership, with prices starting at 150,000 Euros (~RM700,343 before tax).
