Caught: Lightweight Lamborghini Huracan Testing

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Spy photographers have caught their first glimpse of Lamborghini’s latest raging bull. This is a new lightweight Huracan that could be the next Superleggera.

This is the widest ever baby Lambo, but weight will still be dropped from the normal, not-exactly-lardy Huracan and as you might expect, more power—up to 650 hp—will be wrung out of it.

Outside, you may have noticed, there’s a massive new spoiler to keep this new lightweight Huracan firmly planted on the ground. Along with the spoiler, the rest of the rear is revised, too.

The exhausts come out higher than on the standard Huracan. In this picture there also only two of them—one on each side—and they’re closer together than the standard quad-exhaust model. The sound produced by this new maybe-Superleggera, our spy photographers assure us, is sweet music, just like you’d expect.

Below the tail lights, there’s also a revised grille and way down at the bottom of the back end there’s a new diffuser that’s curved upward, which in my tiny non-aerodynamisist brain means more downforce. To keep the front end down, there’s also a new, aggressive front spoiler.

The pictured hard-top Superlemaybe is expected first, with a Spyder version to follow. If Lamborghini follows its own naming conventions, the Spyder version could get the Performante name, like the Gallardo did.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...
