New Delhi: Italian luxury sports-car maker Automobili Lamborghini launched Huracan LP 580-2 in India priced at Rs 2.99 crore (ex-showroom Delhi).
The LP580-2 isn;t the fastest or most powerful Huracan out there, but it certainly promises to be the most fun if you can tame it. The Huracan LP580-2, as the name suggests, gets a 580PS tune, which feeds the power to a rear wheel drive system.
The model, which is a two-wheeled drive version of the Italian sportscar marque's popular Huracán coupe, is powered by a 5,204cc engine and is capable of reaching a top speed of 320 km/hr.
"We are delighted to be unveiling the Huracán LP 580-2 in India within just three days of its global launch," Lamborghini India Head Pavan Shetty said.
The company claims that the new Huracan LP 580-2 can accelerate from 0-100 km/hr in just 3.4 seconds. "This is the purist expression of Huracan till date with class leading technological refinements designed to deliver sheer performance," he added.
Compared to the full monty LP610-4, the LP580-2 is 0.2s slower to the ton with a sprint time of 3.4s, and has a 5kmph lower top whack of around 318kmph. But the Huracán LP580-2 is more about driving skill and fun than bragging rights. Compared to the Gallardo LP550-2, the Huracán LP580-2 has 50% better torsional rigidity to improve handling.
Visually, the Huracán LP580-2 distinguishes itself from the LP610-4 variant with larger airdams, a slightly revised rear aero kit, 19-inch wheels with a new design and steel brakes with aluminium callipers. The LP580-2 also runs on specially designed Pirelli PZero tyres.
The Lamborghini Huracán LP580-2 goes on sale instantly and is marginally cheaper than the LP610-4.
The model was showcased at the Los Angeles Motor Show two days back. It will be retailed in India from Delhi and Mumbai initially.
It adds to Automobili Lamborghini's existing Huracan offering of the four wheel-drive Huracán LP 610-4 and the Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder.
Previous Lamborghini rear-wheel drive models include the predecessor Gallardo LP 550-2.
