More V10 noise? Yes please!
There's very little we can tell from these early shots, aside from the new exhaust arrangement at the rear. Hopefully this points towards a Speciale-style twin-exhaust set up, just the right height for small children to learn what is so good about V10s. Expect this Huracan, four-wheel drive or not, to feature even more noise than standard.Interestingly there's aseen in these pictures too, pointing towards a successor for the previous Gallardo Performante. Could they arrive at the same time? Certainly there seems to be an appetite for hardcore convertibles; see how quickly thesold out, and how much Speciale Apertas are now being offered at.
Given there's not a lot to tell for now, let's begin the speculation on just what a Huracan Superleggera could or should be. Typically these models don't have a great deal more power, so it seems unlikely it will match the 675hp McLaren. Remember also that the Super Trofeo car has 620hp, which would provide a nice link back to the road car. The Gallardo Superleggera reduced weight by 70kg against the standard LP560-4, so consider that a target for the Huracan successor. Using the LP610-4 as the base figure, removing 70kg would take the weight to 1,352kg. Perhaps Dynamic Steering will be standard too...
Lamborghini has been introducing new Huracans at fair rate recently, with the Spyder following the LP580 quite quickly. Place your bets on a reveal date now!
