2018 Lamborghini Huracan Superleggera Spied – Video

 

A lightweight version of Lamborghini’s Huracán supercar—hence the name, superleggera (meaning “super light”). This prototype’s aggressive front splitter and large, fixed rear wing promise an aggressive, track-focused aerodynamic package. It also should boast upgraded wheels and tires and brake components to complement a stiffer suspension tune. What it won’t have is the standard Huracán LP610-4’s all-wheel-drive system, as the simpler and slightly lighter rear-drive LP580-2, introduced last year, will surely be the basis for the new Huracán Superleggera.

The 5.2-liter V-10 was detuned to 573 horsepower for its application in the rear-drive LP580-2, but expect Lamborghini to go in the opposite direction with the Superleggera model. More muscle than the standard, all-wheel-drive Huracán’s 602 horsepower should be on the menu, with the standard seven-speed dual-clutch automatic remaining the only transmission choice. (We haven’t seen a stick-shift Lambo for years now.)
