Automobili Lamborghini have recently launched their new generation racer, the Huracan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo. Designed by their motorsport department, it was unveiled a few days ago at Monterey Car Week, in California,USA.

This new car will debut in all three series of the 2015 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, taking place in Europe, Asia and North America.

The Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo is an all-new car built from scratch keeping the fact that it is a racing car. The chassis of this car weighs just 43 kilograms, giving the car a kerb weight of just 1,270 Kg.
