Lamborghini launches Huracán LP 580-2 in India

Automobili Lamborghini, the legendary Italian maker of supercars, has launched the Huracan LP 580-2 in India, just a few days after its global launch. The LP 580-2 is the two-wheel drive variant of the Huracan and carries a price tag of Rs 2.99 crore, ex-showroom Delhi.

The rear-wheel drive Huracan has very little aesthetic changes but carries on the same exquisite and functional design of the existing Huracan LP 610-4. The front section of the car flaunts new air intakes, designed to direct air and headwind to improve the down pressure on the front axle. The interiors of the LP 580-2 also get a few updates such as the latest Lamborghini Infotainment System II, which features a 12.3” high resolution TFT instrument panel.

Even though the car shares the same 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 petrol engine that delivers 568bhp and 540Nm of torque, which is 30bhp less than the Huracan LP 610-4 that offers 598bhp and 560Nm of torque. The LP 580-2 also races from 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds slower than the LP 610-4. The rear-wheel drive Huracan can reach a top speed of 320km/h, and it also features a system that can shut down upto 5 cylinders to deliver a fuel economy of 8.4km/l, and hence it is more eco-friendly and efficient when compared to the LP 610-4.

Pavan Shetty, Head, Lamborghini India, said, “We are delighted to be unveiling the Huracán LP 580-2 in India within just three days of its global launch, we strongly believe that India has customers who enjoy intense driving with maximum fun, which the new offering will deliver seamlessly. This is the purist expression of Huracan till date with class leading technological refinements designed to deliver sheer performance.”
