Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2 Will Please Rear-Wheel Drive Purists

Published: November 28, 2015 | By: American Luxury Staff

Lamborghini used the Huracan to replace the Gallardo as its V10 supercar last year. The Italian automaker doesn’t change too much about its models from year-to-year, but it showed a change of heart recently with the 2016 Huracan LP 580-2, as seen in its official debut at the L.A. Auto Show earlier this month.

The biggest difference comes in the shift from a four-wheel drive system to sending all of its power to a rear-wheel drive system. And while the second coming of the Huracan comes with 30 less horses, the fact that the 5.2-liter V10 engine is sending all 580 hp directly to the rear wheels gives it the get-up-and-go that Lambos are known for.

The Huracan LP 580-2 weighs 73 pounds less than its initial 610 hp, four-wheel model and can reach a top speed of 199 mph and hit 0-62 in just 3.4 seconds.

Lamborghini has announced that its newest supercar will be priced under $200,000, a significant move for the company, and will be available in U.S. showrooms this spring.
