Lamborghini Squadra Corse Presents the 2022 Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2
Lamborghini is synonymous with championships. The marque’s EVO2, just like other Lamborghini Super Trofeos, is based on the Huracán model, and this newer version is a bold and vigorous racing car. Radical aerodynamic refinements and uncompromising design make the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 the most high-performance version of the most stunning vehicle. “The Huracán is one of the biggest bestsellers in the history of the brand, and the Super Trofeo has additionally helped to increase its success,” says Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

From an aesthetic point of view, the car takes the design of the previous generations to the extreme. Significant changes include new high-intensity, full LED light clusters with a hexagonal structure and a pronounced “omega” lip that joins the carbon fibre fins and reinforces the stylistic link with the Huracán STO. New air curtain intakes optimize airflow by keeping it adherent to the sides and downforce, improving the vehicle’s aerodynamics.

The rear is dominated by the large carbon fibre wing, which was inspired by minimalism and lightness. The arched bumper harmoniously links the aerodynamic appendages located behind the wheels to the redesigned diffuser fins. In addition, the rear fenders are now composed of a single element, which includes part of the side spoiler, for optimal surface continuity. The braking system, designed and developed by Squadra Corse, features 15.35-inch rotors up front and new callipers, covering more surface area and providing better stopping power than before. The steel front discs are increased from 380 to 390 mm; the new callipers can accommodate pads with a unique design and a larger surface area to optimize performance and consumption.

“When we approached the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 project, we immediately thought of the concept of ‘Racing in style.’ That is, a combination of the typical aggressiveness of the Huracán racing cars and the classic stylistic features of Lamborghini’s DNA,” says Lamborghini head of design Mitja Borkert. “In addition, the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 represents a futuristic aesthetic approach that partially anticipates the design elements of the next range of road cars.”

The car is propelled by a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine. Coupled with the sequential six-speed X-Trac gearbox combined with rear-wheel drive, it delivers a maximum power output of 620 HP, thanks to the new aero package. “The Super Trofeo is the basis of our concept of customer racing, capable of involving and exciting both young talents and gentleman drivers,” says Giorgio Sanna, the company’s head of motorsport. “It is dedicated to both categories of drivers, and we have designed it with the precise aim of offering an even more engaging driving experience while paying the utmost attention to running costs.”
