Lamborghini recently introduced the Huracán LP580-2, because the 'normal' Huracán with four-wheel drive might be a bit too tame for some. That's why they decided to introduce a rear-wheel driven model. The result? Slightly less power but also a weight reduction of 32 kilograms. This turns the LP580-2 into a more pure and more fun car for average drivers. Some of you might not like the powerloss of 30 hp, but don't be sad!
Lamborghini's CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, says that the Huracán is developed from the start to be a rear-wheel driven version. Lamborghini also came up with a rear-wheel driven version of the Gallardo, the 550-2 Balboni, but this model is way more primitive if we have to believe mister Winkelmann. The rear-wheel driven Huracán also has an adjusted clutch and other unnecessary hardware removed while this isn't done with the rear-wheel driven Gallardo.
In short, it's way more easy for Lamborghini to build more rear-wheel driven versions of the Huracán because they already kept this in mind during the development of the car. The CEO is aiming for more powerful versions of the LP580-2. This isn't an official yes, but when Head Development Maurizio Reggiani says that Lamborghini has a lot of ideas, we're pretty sure that they will come up with something fun!
