Automobili Lamborghini unveiled its nextgeneration
motorsports machine: the new Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo.
The car will debut in all three (Europe, Asia and North America) of the brand’s
one-make 2015 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series.
The Huracán Super Trofeo marks a new benchmark for the race 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 620 horsepower 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 2,800 lbs, attributed to the hybrid carbon fiber/aluminum chassis
and strict motorsports weight reduction. The weight/power ratio is 4.5 lbs/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 exclusively-equipped with Pirelli tires
engineered specifically for this application.

August 22-24 (Virginia International Park, Alton, VA); October 1-4 (Road
