Huracán Was Built For One-Make Race Series
In the decade between the entry-level supercar’s unveiling at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and its replacement by the plug-in hybrid Temerario last year, Lamborghini launched some epic track-focused versions of the Huracán in the form of the Performante and STO. How can you top that? By owning an actual Huracán race car, of course.
This Super Trofeo Evo 1 is being auctioned off on Cars & Bids by a Michigan dealer that claims the car is titled for street use in that state. It even has a Carfax report, something you won’t normally find with a race car. However, the selling dealer notes that it may not pass emissions tests in some states. The racing modifications also might not fly with the local constabulary.

Officially titled as a 2018 model, this Huracán was built for Lamborghini’s Super Trofeo one-make race series in the Evo 1 spec introduced that year. This brought more aerodynamic bodywork—including more prominent front air intakes, a new front diffuser, a roof scoop, and a rear fin for increased stability—that allowed the Evo 1 to lap Italy’s Monza circuit 1.5 seconds quicker than the original Huracán Super Trofeo, Lamborghini said at the time. An Evo 2 version with further changes was introduced in 2022.
The Super Trofeo has the same naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V10 as the Huracán road car, here producing 620 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed sequential gearbox sends that power to the rear wheels. The wheels themselves are 18-inch center-locking items, and the Super Trofeo conversions includes race-ready Brembo brakes, Öhlins dampers, and an air jacking system and roll cage.
Like most race cars, this Huracán’s carbon-fiber body panels aren’t perfectly aligned, and there are some dings, chips, and scratches throughout. It’s estimated to have about 23,000 miles, about 800 of which were added by the seller, and received some servicing last summer, according to the listing. That included an engine oil and filter change and replacement of the transmission input shaft seal, flywheel, clutch, clutch actuator, and transmission mount.

While driving it on the street might not be a practical possibility, this Lamborghini would make an excellent track toy. The Super Trofeo cars were set up for less-experienced drivers compared to the Huracán GT3 that Lamborghini fielded in the world’s top sports-car racing series. It might also turn out to be cheaper than a used STO or Performante (bidding was at $60,000 at press time) and sidesteps the wait time for a factory-fresh Temerario race car.
Racing wasn’t a priority for company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, or the automaker’s subsequent stewards, but that changed under Volkswagen Group ownership. Lamborghini developed its Squadra Corse racing department got to work racking up class wins at prestigious races like the Rolex 24 at Daytona. A step up from GT cars to prototypes has proven less successful, with the Lamborghini SC63 proving uncompetitive so far.
