Lamborghini recently unveiled the Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo race car that is designed for the one-make 2015 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series.
“The Huracán Super Trofeo is an all-new car built from scratch with a clear racing concept,” said Maurizio Reggiani, Board Member and Director of Research and Development for Automobili Lamborghini. “We believe the car will be as fun for fans to watch as it will be rewarding for our racers to drive.”
The redesigned Huracán Super Trofeo was developed in collaboration with Dallara Engineering, with direct involvement by founder Giampaolo Dallara. Dallara’s history with Lamborghini dates back to 1963 when he worked as a Lamborghini engineer and later led the development of the legendary Miura.
The Huracán Super Trofeo adopts the direct-injected V10 engine from the road car, delivering 620hp in race trim, and a rear-drive set-up meant to accelerate the series racers’ transition into GT racing. The vehicle weighs an ultra-light 1270kg, attributed to the hybrid carbon fibre/aluminium chassis and strict motorsports weight reduction. The weight/power ratio is 2kg/hp.
The aerodynamics provide better efficiency, traction and downforce using a ten-position rear wing, front and rear diffusers as well as adjustable front air intakes. The Huracán Super Trofeo will be equipped with Pirelli tyres engineered specifically for this application.
The Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo will make its debut at all Lamborghini’s Super Trofeo Series including Malaysia on 20th- 21st November so do keep a lookout for its local race debut!
