The obvious difference between the original Super Trofeo from 2014 and this 2018 EVO is the completely new aerodynamic design with that large air intake above the roof that pulls in the air onto the 620hp V10 with an electronically limited top speed of 280 Km/h the vertical fin on the engine cover similar to those used in LM racing, increases stability at high speed.
Also note there are no air intakes on the sides anymore, which made a total redesign of the rear section possible also note the small vertical fins above the rear wheels by the way, the massive rear wing is totally adjustable and received larger side fins.

The engine is still based on the actual road-going model, the 5.2 liter V10 unit with a power increase to 620hp, rear-wheel drive, and an X-Track six-speed sequential gearbox.
Design and Aerodynamics:
The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO features a unique, aggressive design that sets it apart from its road-going counterpart. A new front splitter, larger air intakes, and an adjustable rear wing contribute to the car’s incredible aerodynamics, enabling it to generate significantly more downforce than the previous model. This translates to better handling and cornering stability at high speeds.
The carbon fiber bodywork not only makes the car lighter, but also adds to its overall visual appeal. The design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, contributing to the car’s impressive performance on the track.
