Lamborghini introduced the RWD Huracan called LP580-2

Well,the only thing I like with the downgraded H model is ,it should be able to do a great burn out with everything off...That is Fun...

Just wanted to throw my insight into this thread. Having placed an order for an LP580-2 from India, the price difference was less than 10% with a decently spec'd LP580 vs LP610. Most options like the lifting system, electric seats etc come standard on the LP610 here, so there really is no need for additional options. I went with the former as I have no intentions of selling my first supercar and wanted a true supercar. Naturally aspirated, Mid engined, RWD, Italian. Enough said . A manual transmission would've been the icing on the cake!

blackbeast,your priorities are spot on,to many worry about selling and do not enjoy the toys..

That's really gonna effect the value of our 610/4 Huracans! Not happy with this!

.... Looks like more bad news for LP610 owners

A tad snarky for someone who just joined, aren't you?
You might have the 'bad news' when someone asks you: "Why you got the cheap version?"

I could quote Winkelmann that it is the purest expression of a Lamborghini to date! Just kidding haha. Of course the LP610 is the superior car!

I was once given a 911 S as a loaner car , I did not enjoy the RWD system. Historically speaking, AWD design is the agenda for Lamborghini. One can argue the RWD powertrain on McLaren and Ferrari is somehow more fun ( according some experts)? Nonetheless, Lamborghini was born to be AWD.

I would tend to agree. What exactly is fun about less road holding ability and slipping around on roadways?

Well, I guess this perception is different from person to person depending on where and how you drive. More than autobahns or high speed runs, I've always preferred twisty/back roads. Having owned 2 similar cars (BMW 5), one equipped with xdrive (AWD) and one without (RWD), I always enjoyed driving the RWD counterpart more. No doubt the AWD version was faster, both in a straight line and while cornering. But it felt a bit nose heavy and more like the car was doing all the work, with me just picking left or right. Getting the RWD fast around a corner took more effort, but felt way more rewarding at the same time. The main reason was that steering feel/feedback was better in the RWD version. Allowing the car to slip a tiny bit and then correcting it was very intoxicating

I noticed similar differences when I compared an LP570 performante and an LP550 through some canyon roads. Although the performante was the better/faster car, I seemed to enjoy the LP550 more.

I'm sure most people will not agree, but a few might. Coming back to the Huracan, the LP610 is the superior car.... No doubts about that!
