Lamborghini unveiled its newest road-based race car at PebbleBeach this past weekend, and now we have some statistics to pair with that angular body. The all-new Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo will compete in the Europe, Asian, and North American Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo race series.
The Huracán Super Trofeo is 45percent stiffer than the outgoing racing model, thanks in part to a roll cage that weighs in at only 43 kg. Also adding stiffness is a carbon/aluminum frame that has been adjusted to accommodate things like a larger front radiator and a racing gearbox at the rear of the vehicle. All of this weight saving means the Super Trofeo weighs in at just 1,270 kg (dry) or about 2,800 lbs.
Powering the Huracán Super Trofeo is the same direct-injection V10 that moves the Huracán road car, making 620 hp and providing a power-to weight ratio of just 4.5 lbs per horsepower. Unlike the Huracán road car however, power will delivered to the rear wheels only. Additional improvements to the drivetrain include a new three-disc clutch, and sequential gearbox developed specifically for the Super Trofeo.

Inside, the Huracán Super Trofeo receives the same Alcantara trim as some of Lamborghini’s road cars, covering surfaces that include the steering wheel and the gear selector.
The Lamborghini Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo made its track debut last month during developmental testing, and its public debut this past weekend at Pebble Beach.
