Lamborghini continues work on the faster and more focused Huracan Superleggera, with our spies catching two prototypes running around Nurburgring, next to the facelifted Aventador we showed you a few days ago.

You may think that these prototypes look exactly the same with the last one but if you look closely, you’ll notice that Lamborghini has made a few changes on the aero agenda on one of them.

The engineers have added a pair of new and camouflaged air outlets on the front fenders which look similar to those of the 911 GT3 RS. That solution is usually employed to increase downforce on the front axle which in turn makes the car less prone to understeer. An extra intake is also spotted on the rear fender, just above the regular air intakes.

Lamborghini is after extracting every bit of performance they can get out of the Huracan’s platform and the addition of these outlets combined with the completely reworked aero agenda of the new model are really promising clues.

Overall the new faster version of the Huracan, likely to be called the Superleggera, will be distinguished by its lesser siblings from its bigger front splitter, wider side sills and a rear end packed with new features, like that huge rear diffuser which looks like a proper wing mounted under the bumper, the relocated exhaust pipes which now come out from the middle a la McLaren and of course that big fixed rear spoiler sitting on top of everything.

As you would expect from a hardcore Lamborghini, there are going to be the usual upgrades on the suspension, brakes and wheels to match the increased aero performance of the body while kerb weight is expected to be lower by 100kg/220lbs, thanks to the clever use of lightweight materials throughout the car.

The whole package will be completed by an upgraded version of the 5.2-litre mid-mounted V10 engine which will is reportedly going to offer around 650hp, 50hp more than the regular Huracan model.

Our intel tells us that Lamborghini is going to offer the new hardcore Huracan Superleggera in both Coupe and Spyder versions, with the latter to be introduced on a later date.
