The top-end Lamborghini Huracan Superleggera was caught testing in the snow this week. While most of the car looks similar to
the test vehicles seen at
the Nurburgring, there are a few differences. Most notably with the wheels.


This is the first time we’ve seen a Huracan with these spindly five-spoke wheels, which look sharp, and are probably lightweight. They also wear bright red center-locking wheel nuts. This is a distinct difference from
earlier prototypes that wore conventional wheels with five lug nuts.


As for the rest of the car, there isn’t much new to report. The large front and rear vents and rear diffuser remain the same, as do the relocated exhaust and giant rear wing. What is a bit odd is that this winter tester appears to be missing the deep chin spoiler and side scoops of the Nurburgring cars. We assume these pieces were removed only on this test car, since even
the standard Huracans feature the large side scoops. Lamborghini probably removed these bits of body work to avoid damaging them in deep snow.


When the Superleggera is finally unveiled to the public, we expect it will likely have at least 611 horsepower, like that of the
Super Trofeo race car. This would also make sense since the standard model already makes 602 horsepower, so an extra nine shouldn’t be a stretch. The Superleggera will also bring the total model count for the Huracan to five, now that the company has revealed the rear-drive
LP580-2 convertible. Considering the fact that the previous head of Lamborghini hinted
there might be a total of five models, there probably won’t be any other Huracan variants coming.
