HERE It Is: 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.
Why It Matters: Stripping the Huracán LP610-4’s all-wheel-drive hardware to create the rear-wheel-drive LP580-2 only lightened the Huracán by a claimed 73 pounds. To pare it down to fighting weight, a more extreme diet is required. The Huracán Superleggera likely will use plenty of carbon fiber—possibly of Lamborghini’s own forged variety—and a significantly stripped-out interior without the luxurious appointments used in the standard Huracán.
