marks a new stage in the history of monomarque championship.

"The Huracán Super Trofeo is a totally new car, built from scratch with a clear concept of race," said Maurizio Reggiani, Board Member and Director of Research and Development of Lamborghini. "We believe that the car will be as fun for fans to watch as it will be rewarding for our racers to drive."

Lamborghini had the collaboration from Dallara Engineering on the development of the Huracán Super Trofeo. The new racing car from the Italian brand uses the same V10 direct-injection engine of the road version. However, the engine has been given a track configuration that allows an output increase to 620hp. The car has rear wheel drive to facilitate the car's transition to GT competition.

The new Super Trofeo Huracan weighs 1270kg thanks to a hybrid chassis of carbon fiber and aluminum, as well as a reduction to the essentials for competition. To improve aerodynamics the new Super Trofeo is equipped with a ten-positions rear wing, a rear diffuser and adjustable front air inlets. These changes improve efficiency, traction and downforce. The vehicles will be equipped with exclusive Pirelli tires.
