Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2

Scope of this guide

This guide is scoped to the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2, the customer race car that Lamborghini Squadra Corse designed and engineered for its one-make Super Trofeo championships, with a 5.2L V10 naturally aspirated engine of 620 CV (about 611 bhp), rear-wheel drive and a sequential six-speed gearbox. It is a closed-cockpit racing coupe, not the road-going Huracan, and not the Huracan GT3 EVO2, a different race car built to FIA GT3 rules that has its own price, parts and paperwork. It is also not the earlier Huracan Super Trofeo and Super Trofeo EVO cars, which preceded this one in the same series. Where those cars differ we say so, because an advert that says only "Super Trofeo" can describe any of them.

We have not driven this model for this article. Everything here comes from three cited sources: Lamborghini's own model page for the car, PistonHeads' review of the car from 21 August 2021, and the government recall checker. We also read a dealer news post from 30 May 2021 that appears to repeat Lamborghini's launch text, and a LamboCars feature from 26 May 2021, and we flag the points that rest on them. We found no owner reports, running-cost data or service-interval information for this car, so we give none. Prices that appear below are history from 2021, not valuations.

The figures at a glance

• Engine: 5.2L V10 naturally aspirated, 5204 cc. Lamborghini's page lists the displacement as 5204 cm3.
• Power: 611 bhp. Lamborghini states 620 CV at 8250 rpm, and CV is the metric horsepower. Multiplying by 0.98632 gives about 611.5 bhp, and PistonHeads prints 611 hp at 8250 rpm. Our catalogue previously held 620 bhp, which is the metric figure under the wrong unit, and the body of this guide uses 611 bhp.
• Torque: 570 Nm at 6500 rpm on Lamborghini's page. PistonHeads prints the same figure as 420 lb ft, and 420 lb ft is about 569 Nm, so the two agree.
• 0-100 km/h: 3.0 seconds. This is not a maker figure. PistonHeads prints "c. 3.0 sec" for 0-62 mph, which is a rounded claim and slightly longer than a true 0-100 km/h time, so treat it as approximate. Our catalogue held 2.9 seconds, and we could not find a source for that.
• Top speed: 306 km/h. PistonHeads prints "c. 190mph", and 190 mph is about 306 km/h. Lamborghini's page gives no top speed. Our catalogue held 310 km/h, which appears only on a fan site that we do not treat as reliable, so we use the approximate PistonHeads figure and say it is approximate.
• Drive: rear-wheel drive. PistonHeads lists "six-speed sequential, rear-wheel drive", and the dealer post and the LamboCars feature also say the rear wheels only. Lamborghini's own page does not use the words rear-wheel drive in the part we read.
• Weight: 1270 kg dry on PistonHeads. We did not find a maker weight, and a dry figure leaves out fluids and fuel, so the car on a grid weighs more.

What kind of car this is

The Super Trofeo EVO2 was unveiled in May 2021 as the car for all three continental Lamborghini Super Trofeo series from the 2022 season, according to the Lamborghini page and the dealer post. The one-make series itself began in Europe in 2009 and moved from the Gallardo to the Huracan along the way, says PistonHeads. The dealer post says 2021 was the thirteenth season of the championship.

PistonHeads quotes Lamborghini as saying the EVO2 is close to being a junior GT3 car, though its suspension and aerodynamics are less advanced. The same review says the car needs no restrictor plates and no balance-of-performance adjustment, because the series is one-make. That matters to a buyer. A GT3 car is tuned by regulation to fit a class, while a one-make car is simply run as the maker built it.

What changed from the earlier car

Lamborghini's page says the front end was redesigned, with new light clusters, an omega-shaped lip and new air curtain intakes. It says parts of the bodywork changed from plastic to carbon fibre, and the rear fenders became a single piece. The dealer post describes a large carbon-fibre rear wing, an arched carbon-fibre bumper and redesigned diffuser fins. A Carsales report said existing Super Trofeo EVO owners could buy an update package to reach EVO2 specification, but we saw that only in a search summary and have not read the report in full, so check the details with Lamborghini before you rely on it. If an advert offers a car converted from the earlier EVO, ask which parts were changed, because a car that looks like an EVO2 may not carry every part of one.

Not a road car

Nothing we read says this car is road legal. The Lamborghini page places it in motorsport, the PistonHeads review describes a slick-tyre racer with a rollcage, a racing bucket seat, adjustable traction control and variable ABS, and it contrasts the car with the road-legal Huracan STO, which it calls the better prospect for a road-going Huracan. We have not seen homologation or registration papers for the EVO2, so we describe it as a circuit car. If you are offered one with road registration, ask to see the paperwork and why it exists, because a registered conversion would be a different object from the one in this guide.

What the sources say about cost

PistonHeads gave the price as 245,000 euros before tax in 2021, and says entry to the six-round European championship was 36,000 euros including a race suit and tyres. Adding mechanics, logistics and repairs, PistonHeads reckoned a season at about 400,000 pounds. Those are the only cost figures we found, and they describe a new car in a paid race programme, not the market for a used one. We found no figures for servicing intervals, engine rebuilds, tyres per day, insurance or storage, and we have not invented any. A used car's value will depend on its condition, its crash history, its hours and whether it remains eligible, and we cannot put a number on any of that.

Questions to ask before you buy

The list below is our own reasoning from how race cars are bought, not advice from a source, so treat it as a starting point and not a checklist from Lamborghini.

• Who is selling it, and can they show the build record, so you can tell an EVO2 from a converted EVO?
• Is the car still eligible for the series you want to race in, and does your series accept it?
• What is its history: seasons raced, accident repairs, engine and gearbox hours, and who did the work?
• Does it come with a spares package, data logging history and the correct electronics for the current software?
• Who will service it, and can that person be reached close to where you will use it?
• If it is described as road registered, what is the paperwork and who signed it off?

What the recall checker can and cannot tell you

The government check-vehicle-recall service lets you check whether a manufacturer has recalled a vehicle, part or accessory for safety reasons. For a car it asks for a registration number, or the make, model and year of manufacture, and it says non-safety recalls come from the manufacturer directly. A track-only race car normally has no registration, and the page does not say whether it covers such cars or cars registered outside the UK, so an empty result tells you very little here. We found no recall or service notice for the Super Trofeo EVO2 in any of our sources, and absence from our sources is not a clean bill of health. Ask Lamborghini Squadra Corse directly whether any technical bulletin applies to a specific chassis.

About the photograph

The picture at the top of this page shows a 2022 Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 in a matt green-grey and orange livery on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2022, as recorded on Wikimedia Commons. It is a static show car and tells you about the shape, not about the condition of any car for sale.

Verdict

The Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 in this guide is a 5.2L V10 naturally aspirated race car with 611 bhp (620 CV), 570 Nm, rear-wheel drive and a sequential gearbox, with approximate figures of 3.0 seconds to 0-62 mph and 306 km/h, built for a one-make series and not for the road. It will interest people who want the junior-GT3 feel of a Lamborghini factory race car without the cost and complexity of the GT3 car, but the sources we found stop at the launch specification, a 2021 review and a 2021 price. Everything about living with one, including running costs, reliability and resale, is outside what we could verify. We have not driven it, so use the sources, the seller's records and a specialist inspection to decide.
