While Lamborghini is venturing into fresh territories by developing the Urus SUV or coming up with alternative propulsion concepts such as the Asterion, it can't overlook its now-traditional goodies such as the Huracan special editions.

Spied today was what we expect to be the Huracan Superleggera prototype. Clearly visible is the rear fascia housing new exhaust tips. Inspired by the layout of the Huracan GT3 race car, the dual, generously-sized tips sit centrally, above the area where the (still-present) standard quad tips are found.

So far, Lamborghini has tweaked the 2015 Huracan’s all-wheel-drive to address the understeer for the 2016 model, and offered the LP580-2 rear-wheel-drive coupe, as well as the LP610-4 Huracan Spyder.

Ferrari has already unleashed the twin-turbo 488 GTB, while McLaren has shown the 675LT and this is where Lambo's Superleggera will step in. Expect a diet of over 100 kg, as well as a power bump and go-fast moves such as quicker shifts performed by the dual-clutch transmission.

Styling-wise, the Huracan Superleggera (the name hasn't been officially confirmed yet) will receive a more aggressive aerodynamic appearance, with the changes expected to be led by a fixed rear wing that will steal the tuning industry's business.

If Lamborghini follows its usual plan, the Huracan Superleggera will come later this year as a 2017 model, with this autumn’s Paris Motor Show being a likely candidate for the supercar's debut. As for the open-top model seen in the spy photos, let's not forget that the Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante needs a successor.
