La llegada del nuevo Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 se retrasa a 2023 El Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo es uno de los vehículos GT3 de referencia de la actualidad. 22 Abr 2021 Giorgio Sanna, director de Lamborghini Squadra Corse, ha confirmado que el Lamborghini Hucarán GT3 Evo2 se retrasa a 2023. La firma considera que debe ofrecer un año extra a sus clientes para reunir el presupuesto necesario par adquirir el nuevo coche. El nuevo reglamento GT3 entrará en vigor en 2022, dibujando este cambio normativo un gran abanico de movimientos muy dispares entre los fabricantes. Marcas como Audi optarán por un kit Evo para actualizar sus vehículos, mientras que otras desarrollarán un GT3 nuevo, como es el caso de Porsche. En este segundo grupo también está BMW, quizá la marca que tiene un proyecto más avanzado al tener el BMW M6 GT3 casi listo con el objetivo de hacerlo debutar este mismo año y tener en marcha su programa 'carreras-cliente' el próximo año. Por su parte, Lamborghini se ha quedado a mitad de camino. Y es que, en un primer momento, la firma de Sant'Agata Bolognese tenía previsto desarrollar un kit Evo2 para su Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo con vistas a su debut en 2022. Sin embargo, la marca ha decidido retrasar sus planes ante los inconvenientes provocados por la pandemia de COVID-19. Giorgio Sanna, jefe de Lamborghini Squadra Corse, ha sido el encargo de tomar la decisión de ampliar los plazos del proyecto. De esta forma, el Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 no debutará hasta 2023, con el matiz de que se podrá adquirir con forma de nuevo coche o como kit para los actuales Huracán GT3 Evo. Giorgio Sanna ha definido el nuevo Huracán GT3 Evo como un coche más fácil de pilotar, pero al que todavía hay que dar tiempo para que esté listo: «Esperamos homologar el nuevo coche a finales de este año, pero aún así vamos a tomarnos nuestro tiempo. Hemos decidido que por la situación actual del COVID-19, la presentación de coche se pospondrá hasta 2023. Hemos estudiado la situación y preferimos esperar y dar tiempo a los equipos, pilotos y también a los propietarios de los coches existentes para que puedan reunir sus respectivos presupuestos para adquirir el nuevo coche. Esa es nuestra idea». Fotos: GT World Challenge Europe
Aqui esta Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 - World Premiere Lamborghini Squadra Corse Lamborghini presents the new Huracán GT3 EVO2, designed and developed by Squadra Corse of Sant’Agata Bolognese based on the Huracán STO, with which it shares important design elements, rear-wheel drive only, and a naturally aspirated V10 engine, which in the road version delivers 640 horsepower.
Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 Breaks Cover As STO Race Car The RWD machine has a new aero package for its full carbon fiber body. May 03, 2022 It was 2014 when Lamborghini's motorsport division unveiled the Huracan Super Trofeo. The GT3 variant followed a year later, with a GT3 EVO launched in 2018. The expansion continued in 2020 with the GT2 race car and now Lamborghini Squadra Corse is unveiling another iteration of the track-only supercar. The GT3 EVO2 takes after the STO, which itself is a road-going version of the Super Trofeo, hence the Super Trofeo Omologata moniker. Available as a newly built car or as an upgrade package for existing Huracan GT3 EVO owners, the EVO2 is based on the rear-wheel version and has the bodywork made entirely out of carbon fiber. The second evolution of the racer gets a revised aerodynamic package with a new diffuser to boost rear downforce. In addition, the STO-derived massive wing further helps the car remain glued to the road and has new supports for greater adjustment. There's a perfectly good reason the hexagonal roof scoop may look familiar because it has been adapted from the STO. It’s linked to a snorkel that has replaced the upper side air intakes, while the rear fin is also sourced from the meanest road-going Huracan of them all. As expected, the EVO2 with its revised aero fully complies with the latest FIA technical regulations. The engineers have fitted the naturally aspirated engine with 10 electronically actuated throttle bodies to boost the V10's efficiency with titanium valves. Only four screws are used to fix the entire system to the engine – a technique originally introduced on the hardcore Essenza SCV12. It makes it a lot easier to access that area and do maintenance and repair work. Even the floor is made from carbon fiber and has been coated with Zylon fiber to improve its strength. Lamborghini’s racing arm has updated the roll cage by adding two rear pillars and honeycomb side panels made from carbon and Kevlar. To boast the Huracan GT3 EVO2’s structural rigidity, the plexiglass side windows are now fixed to the door panel by using several screws. As far as the wheels are concerned, these come wrapped around Pirelli tires and are backed by revised brakes with new calipers and pads more durable than before in both sprint and endurance races. Squadra Corse also tweaked the traction control and anti-lock braking systems to make the vehicle easier to control in low-grip scenarios. Customer deliveries are scheduled to commence in the second half of the year ahead of its racing debut in January 2023 at the Daytona 24 Hours. The GT3 EVO2 does not represent the final Huracan update as the Steratto, a high-riding road car, is coming in a few months. It will represent the swan song for the ICE-only supercar as any potential subsequent versions will be hybridized, much like the supercar's replacement.
Roger Dubuis’ Limited New Timepiece Is Inspired By The Huracan GT3 EVO2 JUNE 24, 2022 Roger Dubuis is the official timing partner of this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and to celebrate, has launched its new Excalibur Spider Huracan Monobalancier timepiece. The 45mm timepiece takes visual inspiration from the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 unveiled in May. As such, the calibre’s twin barrels and 12° balanced wheel signify the movement signatures associated with Lamborghini Squadra Corse. The hexagonal shape of the caliber has also been designed to mimic the hexagonal shapes found across the Huracan and all other Lamborghini models. The case, bezel, and crown of the Excalibur Spider Huracan Monobalancier are all made using pure white Mineral Composite Fiber from silica through the Sheet Molding Compound process. Roger Dubuis says this material is 13 percent lighter than carbon created through the same process. The rear of the timepiece is particularly special as it emulates the design of the Huracan GT3 EVO2’s wheel. Elsewhere, Roger Dubuis has equipped the timepiece with a crown that’s inspired by the race car’s wheel nuts and a strut bar not dissimilar to the one found over the V10 engine. The same colors of green, red, and yellow also adorn the timepiece, again mimicking the race car. This particular Excalibur Spider Huracan Monobalancier has a green rubber strap but a white rubber strap will also be available, complete with green calf leather perforated with holes to show off a number of red accents. Roger Dubuis will limit production of the timepiece to just 88 units. It is not yet clear how much the watch will cost but a very similar timepiece inspired by the Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 sold by Roger Dubuis costs an eye-watering $61,500.
