Track-focussed Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2: key highlights

KUALA LUMPUR: Lamborghini's most popular model, the Huracan, has recently hit a production milestone with the 20,000th unit rolled out in the Sant'Agata Bolognese facility. In order to further increase its popularity, the sports carmaker keeps on adding more and more exclusive editions to the Huracan lineup. Last month, it revealed the Tecnica as the family's middle child, and now here it comes with a track-only model named GT3 EVO2.

Let's check out the key highlights of the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 -

• Based on the Huracan STO: Built by Squadra Corse of Sant'Agata Bolognese, the new GT3 EVO2 is based on the Huracan STO, with which it shares vital design aspects and mechanical setup.
• Carbon-fiber bodywork: The supercar features a muscular design made with carbon-fibre. The underbody is coated with Zylon fiber, which enhances downforce potential.

• A roof scoop: An unmistakable hexagonal roof scoop contributes to the car's efficient intake system. It is linked to a snorkel that optimally channels the airflow directly into the engine, resulting in more excellent responsiveness to the driver's demands. 
• Massive STO-derived rear wing: This innovative and huge rear wing comes with new supports that enable precise wing adjustment.

• V10 mill: The new Huracan GT3 EVO2 is powered by a 5.2-litre, titanium-valved V10 mill, delivering a maximum power output of 580 hp. The power is sent to the rear wheels with a Hör-supplied 6-speed sequential gearbox.
• Alloy wheels with revised braking system: The supercar runs on alloy wheels wrapped with Pirelli tyres. A revised braking system backs these with new pads and calipers for more durability in the sprint as well as endurance races. 

• Updated controls: Squadra Corse has also revised the traction control and ABS to make the supercar controlling more convenient in low-grip scenarios.
• A racing-inspired cabin: The cabin is kitted with two racing-style seats, a yoke-style steering wheel, a large center console, and red accents on the dashboard. The interior floor is also made of carbon fibre, whereas the roll cage with honeycomb side panels is made of kevlar.
• Also part of the kit is projector headlights with DRLs, plexiglass windows, a digital instrument cluster, and multiple airbags.

As per Lamborghini Motorsport Head Giorgio Sanna, “The new Huracan GT3 EVO2 is not simply an evolution of the current car. It’s a new project that reinforces the technological transfer between Lamborghini’s motorsport division and the company and inherits two difficult tasks: to prove as successful as the previous generations of Huracan GT3, which have won more than 40 international titles in six seasons, and to match its commercial success by helping to reach the target of 500 Huracan racing cars since 2015.”

The deliveries of the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 will begin in the second half of 2022.
