Lamborghini took the Nürburgring lap record from the Porsche 911 GT2 RS recently. Little did we know, the Italian brand is also celebrating something just as equally compelling – the 10 years of Lamborghini Squadra Corse's Super Trofeo one-make racing series.
To commemorate the event, Lamborghini introduced an ultra-limited-edition variant of the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo production car: the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 10th Edition. Only 10 units of the collector’s item supercar will be made, to represent each year of the motorsport racing series that reaches three continents.
More about the Super Trofeo:
“The Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 10th Edition is a tribute to our tradition, a new manifestation of the synergy between Squadra Corse and the R&D Department, two entities linked by a continuous osmosis process: motorsport allows us to perfect the product, which in turn is the basis of the racing cars of the future. They are two spirals that intertwine indissolubly to form the Lamborghini DNA,” said Maurizio Reggiani, Automobili Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer.
The special Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 10th Edition sports a matte gray finish, reflecting the Roger Dubuis livery, accentuated by glossy mantis green aerodynamic appendages and a tricolored band. This color theme emphasizes the sculpted shapes of the Super Trofeo Evo and shows off its extreme aerodynamics.
However, the exclusivity of the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 10th Edition isn’t found on the customer body paint. Owners of the special edition car will receive a numbered plate “One of Ten”; a certificate of origin signed by Stefano Domenicali (Automobili Lamborghini Chairman & CEO), Maurizio Reggiani (Automobili Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer), and Giorgio Sanna (Head of Lamborghini Motorsport); and a custom-tailored race suit made by OMP.
There’s not much upgrade in the car’s performance, though, as the all-new ECU mapping only boosts the 620 horsepower of the 5.2L V10 to 630. It will come with the standard Super Trofeo Evo configuration such as six-speed sequential X-Trac gearbox, Bosch Motorsport ABS, Motec Traction Control, Pirelli P Zero DHD2 tyres and an Alcantara-upholstered dashboard.
There were no announced price tag for Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 10th Edition, but this is a collector’s edition of a £180,720 Italian supercar. Go figure.

But the exclusivity of the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 10th Edition is also underlined by new features: the numbered plate “One of Ten”, the certificate of origin signed by Stefano Domenicali (Automobili Lamborghini Chairman & CEO), Maurizio Reggiani (Automobili Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer) and Giorgio Sanna (Head of Lamborghini Motorsport), as well as a custom-tailored race suit made by OMP.
Furthermore, thanks to the all-new ECU mapping, the power delivered by the aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine reaches 630 HP, the new apex of a racing tradition that began in 2009 with the Gallardo LP560-4 Super Trofeo, the first of the racing cars derived from the road version that have made the Bull famous in the world. In Sant’Agata Bolognese, research and motorsport always go hand in hand, as underlined by Maurizio Reggiani, Automobili Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer: “The Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 10th Edition is a tribute to our tradition, a new manifestation of the synergy between Squadra Corse and the R&D Department, two entities linked by a continuous osmosis process: motorsport allows us to perfect the product, which in turn is the basis of the racing cars of the future.
