Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 Debuts!
Updated 2022 Huracan EVO design and aerodynamic cues give a glimpse of future models in the brand’s lineup.
Lamborghini has been successfully running their one-make international racing series Super Trofeo for several years now. This series has grown year after year and now is spread across 3 continents: Europe, Asia, and North America.
The Italian icon’s motorsport division, Squadra Corse, has presented Super Trofeo (ST for short) as a introduction for customer teams who want get their feet wet without needing to spend GT3 money.
There is a big incentive for aspiring amateur and pro-am drivers to display their chops in ST before moving onto the substantially more competitive GT3 class and beyond.
The Huracan has been the chassis of choice since 2014, replacing its predecessor, the Gallardo. To no surprise, as the series develops, so do the cars.
This 2022 Huracan EVO 2 model will be the latest and greatest to come from Squadra Corse, succeeding the 2018 “EVO” iteration. Let’s see what its all about.
Angry, Futuristic, Attention-grabbing
The overall fascia and design of the Huracan ST has dramatically changed with this latest update. Considering this is strictly a race car, all design must prioritize function and function first.
The aerodynamic profile of the car was the first thing that the motorsport division would sharpen. According to Lamborghini, the new Huracan EVO’s design is essentially a sneak peek to future model styling.
“From the aesthetic point of view, the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 takes the design of the previous generations to the extreme, anticipating the styling elements that will debut on road cars in the coming years.”
If the successor to the Huracan looks anything like the EVO2, the future is looks very bright (and just a bit angry). The orange-lined “omega” lip on the front end is a recurring theme first seen on the limited production 2021 Huracan STO.
Smaller and sharper headlights and front intake design also refine the overall character of the front end. The rear end is no stranger to change as well, with the whole rear quarter panel molding as one single piece directly into the massive rear diffuser.
This is combined with new Countach-inspired taillights, creates of the best looking rear ends of any OEM Huracan so far.
Huracan EVO2: Same Power but More Brakes, Better Aero
One of the few things to unchanged on the EVO 2 is the reliable and robust 620 HP 5.2L V10 engine, which has proven to be more than enough for this chassis.
However, braking performance has been improved thanks to larger front rotors, calipers, and pads. Motorsport customers who already own an EVO ST Huracan will be able to upgrade to the EVO 2 spec before the start of the season.
