New Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2 review - pictures

<p class="p1">The LP 580-2 doesn’t cost as much as the LP 610-4, it doesn’t have as much power or performance, and it is one driven axle down on its four wheel-drive brother.&nbsp;</p>

The rear drive Huracan is more fun to drive, has a far broader dynamic repertoire and is, in real terms, every bit as quick as the LP 610-4. It is the best Huracan by far.

<p class="p1">Behind the rear seats of the Huracan LP 580-2, sits a mildly detuned version of the four-wheel-drive car’s 5.2-litre V10 engine, now producing 571bhp instead of 602bhp.</p>

<p class="p1">The LP 580-2 weighs 33kg less than the LP 610-4 and has a fractionally more rear biased 60/40 weight distribution.</p>

<p class="p1">The new car gets revised front and rear styling, with air intakes in the two nose vents that are designed to increase downward pressure on the front axle.</p>

The LP 580-2 gets new 19in ‘Kari’ wheels.&nbsp;

The interior of the&nbsp;Huracan LP 580-2 is luxurious, with all the controls required to enjoy the car in different modes.

<p class="p1">The LP 580-2 naturally assumes the mantle as the most fun to drive version of the Huracan, as well as the cheapest; costing approximately £160,000 when it goes on sale in the UK early next year.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="p1">The front suspension is 10 per cent stuffer at the front, with a slightly smaller anti-roll bar at the rear but the same springs rates as the LP 610-4.</p>

<p class="p1">Pirelli has developed a set of bespoke P Zero tyres for the rear-drive Huracan, with softer a compound at the front and a harder one at the rear.</p>

<p class="p1">The LP 580-2 feels balanced and fast, but it has a much sharper front end, and a nice degree of adjustability engineered into its tail end that allows you to do much more with the car near the limit.</p>
