Huracan LP 580-2
The Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2 features naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine detuned to 580 PS (572 horsepower/427 kW) with 393 pound-feet (533 Nm) torque through seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive at 1,389kg dry weight (33kg lighter than all-wheel-drive LP610-4) achieving 3.4-second 0-100 km/h acceleration (3.2-second 0-60 mph in real-world testing) and 199 mph (320 km/h) top speed with 40/60 front-rear weight distribution. Engineering specification reverses Lamborghini all-wheel-drive tradition established during Diablo VT era targeting driver-focused enthusiasts seeking pure driving engagement through power oversteer capability and reduced complexity compared to all-wheel-drive variants while maintaining naturally-aspirated V10 character and exotic supercar performance establishing rear-drive alternative within Huracan range.
LP 580-2 launched 2016 Geneva Motor Show represented Lamborghini recognition of enthusiast demand for traditional rear-wheel-drive supercar dynamics prioritizing driver engagement over maximum traction and straight-line performance, manufactured 2016-2019 before Huracan Evo lineup consolidated offerings. Platform demonstrates refined chassis tuning optimized for rear-wheel-drive configuration where revised suspension geometry, recalibrated stability control, and weight distribution create controllable oversteer characteristics enabling skilled drivers to exploit naturally-aspirated V10 power delivery through driving technique rather than electronic intervention, popular among purists and collectors for distinctive rear-drive character differentiating LP 580-2 from mainstream all-wheel-drive Huracan variants where reduced weight and traditional supercar layout establish model as driver-focused choice within baby Lambo range representing final naturally-aspirated V10 rear-drive Lamborghini before Huracan successor adopted primarily electrified powertrain philosophy demonstrating Lamborghini willingness to offer pure driving experience alongside technological advancement.
