    Lamborghini Will Not Make A Huracan Superleggera

    As we all know, back when the Gallardo was in production, Lamborghini dubbed the hardcore version as the ‘Superleggera’. Shift along to the present day and the Gallardo replacement, the Huracan, received the ‘Performante’ designation when a more powerful and stripped out version was announced. But, Lamborghini is saying that the Superleggera name will not be coupled with the Huracan.

    Having recently unveiled the Huracan Evo to the world which utilises the engine from the 640 horsepower (477 kW) Performante, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this mid-life refresh of the Huracan will inevitably get a special edition version. Alas, this will not be the case as Lamborghini’s Chief Technical Officer, Maurizio Reggiani, stated that the ,“[Supperleggera] badge is finished.”

    “The short-term issue will be not how we can increase the power, but how to maintain the power when you consider all the new emissions regulations arriving. I mean, there’s APF (anti-particulate filter) designed to trap the ultra-fine particulates, which reduces the power further through reduced back pressure,” Reggiani said, referring to future emissions rules. “Euro 7 emissions regulations are also on their way and this means sticking the meter inside the combustion chamber for a potential reduction of power.”   

    In order to cope with all these new emission rules, there is no doubt that Lamborghini will have to develop more eco-friendly powertrains, such as hybrids. “We wouldn’t need so much power from the combustion engine and could look at alternatives.” The first Raging Bull to get a hybrid system will be the V12 Aventador.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
