In the market for a track car to play with at your local racing circuit on the weekends? Well, then, you certainly have plenty of options.
You could buy a road car and modify it for track use. You could spend millions on a dedicated track machine like the Ferrari FXX-K or the new Porsche 935. Or you could buy a race car and enjoy it all on your own. One way or another, you’ll probably be looking at a sizable chunk of change. But this could be the deal you’ve been looking for.
What we have here is a 2016 Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo, made to compete in the Raging Bull marque’s own in-house racing series. It’d cost you a good $300k to buy one new, but this one’s for sale in Florida for less than $180k, which seems like a downright bargain.
Based on the road-going Huracan (which itself just gets going at $200k), the Super Trofeo packs a 5.2-liter V10 sending 612 horsepower (456 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque to the rear wheels alone through a six-speed sequential gearbox. That’s more muscle than any street-spec Huracan this side of the LP640-4 Performante, and certainly more than the rear-drive LP580-2. And the Super Trofeo comes with a whole raft of other track-spec goodies, from the center-lock alloys and slick rubber to the massive aero kit.
So why is this one for sale for barely more than half the price of buying one new? Because it’s been used, and used extensively. It’s listed by the Lamborghini dealer in Palm Beach with 10,358 miles on it, and you know those have been hard-driven miles. But we bet it’d be even more fun to put that much again on it, whether in an organized series or just for kicks on your own.
