Spied: 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Superleggera?

Spies in Germany have caught what they believe to be a mule for what we expect to be revealed as the 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Superleggera testing near the Nürburgring.

This prototype lacks the often telltale camouflage of most testbeds, but there are a couple of visual cues--the unconventional temporary number plate on the front, for example.

Look a little closer, though, and you'll see that the rear end is far more noteworthy in that regard. An improvised grille covers a second set of exhaust outlets. Their placement is clearly a nod to the roadgoing Huracán's race-ready sibling--the GT3.

The location and quantity of its exhaust pipes notwithstanding, expect this new Huracán to be a lot lighter, a little more powerful and a bit more aerodynamically sound than the car on which it's based.

The Superleggera--if it indeed ends up being called that--should slot in against the Ferrari 488 GTB, the McLaren 675LTand other track-focused toys like the (significantly less costly) Dodge ViperACR.

Stay tuned.
