the ‘huracan’ has been tuned with a naturally aspirated V10 5.2 liter engine that outputs 580 HP to the rear axel. with less components than the four wheel drive version, the latest model weighs only 1,389 kg, making it 33 kg lighter. lamborghini adjusted the weight distribution to 40/60 reducing the inertia on the front axle from the power at the rear. a redesigned power management setup, incorporating a modified suspension and steering system, connects the driver as directly as possible with the road. the lamborghini ‘huracan LP 580-2’ made its’ debut at the 2015 los angeles auto show.
