3 This is one of the saddest videos I’ve ever seen. Don’t worry, no one wrecks or blows up. Really no one does anything at all. Just two well off guys sitting in chairs trying to stroke their ego. Sure, it is fun to see and hear these crazy machines perform but the matchup was […]

The New Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2

Autobobili Lamborghini unveiled the Huracán LP 580-2, the rear-wheel-drive version of its Huracán LP610-4 this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Paradoxically, Lamborghini says it is a “serious car for serious drivers: it is maximum driving fun,” meaning, of course, that serious drivers can’t be trusted with the same horsepower as all-wheel-drive-loving, non-serious, fun-hating drivers.
“The Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2 continues the Lamborghini tradition of pure, visionary and technology-driven models,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The rear-wheel drive model fits perfectly into our Huracán family, appealing to those wanting an even more intense driving experience, or who currently drive other rear-wheel-drive marques and aspire to driving a Lamborghini. This is the purest expression of a Lamborghini to date, with class-leading technological refinements.”
Technically speaking, the new LP 580-2 has 580bhp and is 30bhp down on its all-wheel-drive twin, but is also 73lbs (33kg) lighter. It has a 40/60 front/rear weight distribution and the steering set-up and selectable driving modes are tuned to provide oversteering characteristics, which is, ironically, uncharacteristic of all other Lamborghinis. The LP 580-2 sits on new 19” rims wrapped in Pirelli PZeros. It has also gotten a mild redesign of its front and rear, accenting a young and more assertive look, which isn’t shared by anyone who can actually afford to buy it.
