Lamborghini has just launched their rear-wheel drive version of the Huracan, the LP580-2. It is powered by a good ol' naturally aspirated V10 that is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It has been tuned to produce 580PS of power at 8,000rpm and 540Nm of torque at 6,500rpm. Although this doesn't make it the most powerful version of the Huracan, it certainly should be able to keep you more than entertained with its rear-wheel drive layout. With a claimed sprint time of 3.4 seconds, the Huracan LP580-2 is 0.2 seconds slower to 100kmph than the top-spec Huracan LP610-4. Its top speed too is slower by 5kmph at around 318kmph.
