Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the Huracan LP580-2. The new model is the rear wheel drive sibling of the LP610-4.
The rear wheel drive Huracan weighs 1,389 kg , that makes it 33kg lighter than the all wheel drive version. It also gets an entirely new power management set-up, encompassing modified suspension, new steering set-up and recalibrated stability and traction controls connects the driver as directly as possible with the road. Weight distribution is biased 40% at the front / 60% at the rear.
Power comes from the same 5.2 litre naturally aspirated V10 engine that is now tuned to develop 580 horsepower. The engine is mated to a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox. The driving modes STRADA, SPORT and CORSA are tuned to provide oversteering characteristics.
“The Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2 continues the Lamborghini tradition of pure, visionary and technology-driven models,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The rear-wheel drive model fits perfectly into our Huracan 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.”
