Any time Lamborghini  releases a new model, there are two special versions  that are all but guaranteed to follow: a roadster  and a lightweight Superleggera version. With the Huracan Spyder  having hit the roads in 2015, it is just a matter of time before the Italians launch the lighter Superleggera variant.

Likely to follow in the footsteps of the Gallardo Superleggera,  the Huracan Superleggera  will bring a lower curb weight and a nice power boost, giving Lambo’s entry-level supercar  better straight-line speed and more agility. There is still no timeline for the Huracan Superleggera, the number of test cars that keep showing up on public roads suggest that an official launch is due very soon, most likely at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. 

Details are still scant as of this writing, but putting together the pieces of the puzzle and getting a good idea of what this model will bring to the table is simple. Find out more in my speculative review below.

Updated 01/29/2016: Our spy photographers caught the upcoming Huracan LP640-4 Superleggera out for a new testing session, this time during cold winter conditions.

Continue reading my speculative preview of the Huracan LP640-4 to see what I think it’ll have to offer.
Like the Gallardo Superleggera that came before it, the Huracan Superleggera’s focus will be a reduction in weight. Look for Lamborghini to use heavy amounts of carbon fiber to drop around 200 pounds from the weight of the 2015 Huracan. Also, look for special Superleggera badging. In addition to the lightweight body, expect Lambo to add in some special aero work to increase the downforce. Look for a slightly revised front splitter and rear diffuser, and a new rear spoiler. While the extra downforce will not be dramatic, look for a few hundred extra pounds. Expect the lightweight focus to make its way into the cabin too. I look for Lamborghini to go a little overboard with Alcantara, as it did on the Gallardo Superleggera. I also expect to see carbon-fiber seat frames, and various other carbon-fiber components, like the center tunnel cover and the bezels. On the last Gallardo Superleggera, Lamborghini chose to retain the standard air conditioning and power windows, and I look for these to also come standard on the Huracan Superleggera.

It’s hard to say just how much the Huracan Superleggera will run, but considering there was an 18 percent bump from the base 2013 Gallardo and the 2014 Gallardo Superleggera, I figure the Huracan Superleggera should book from around $280,000. It’s only a matter of time before Lamborghini releases a Superleggera version of the Huracan. With its reduced weight, extra power, and additional downforce, the model is bound to be an amazing road car. It will also likely be able to handle itself quite well on the track too. We’ll bring you more information once it becomes official.
