What will happen when Lamborghini is equipped with a Honda engine?

HẠO THIÊN (Theo Carscoops) |

A racing team in Thailand has built the world's first Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo powered by a Honda engine.

According to PSC Motorsport - Thailand's racing team, the unit is preparing for this model to participate in a 25-hour endurance race in 2025. Although the idea of abandoning the V10 engine to a small-capacity engine with VTEC may make the car slower, PSC Motorsport has a good reason to make this change.

According to the race organizers' regulations, the Huracan Super Trofeo model will not be able to participate in the endurance race with the original form of the Huracan Super Trofeo Evo using a naturally aspirated V10 engine. Therefore, PSC Motorsport has replaced Lambo's engine with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder K20C turbocharged engine similar to the FK8 Honda Civic Type R model.

The engine is mainly original but has a new air intake and an intercooler mounted on top, taking cooling air from the large air vents on the roof. The team was able to design a custom roof that allows the 4-cylinder engine to connect seamlessly to the Super Trofeo Evo's base 6-speed manual transmission. This engine has a capacity of about 350 horsepower and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque on the rear wheels. The vehicle's turbocharger is also larger than the regular FK8.

Obviously, the new model is not as powerful as a standard Huracan racing car, but it benefits from a custom carbon fiber body with aerodynamic upgrades. In particular, this model far surpasses the upgrades of a regular Huracan Super Trofeo Evo racing car. Changes such as a large rear spoiler with a thorn-neck support, a carbon fiber diffuser and a large front splitter are designed to suit the race.

There is currently no information on how much slower the new car will be compared to the regular Huracan race car. However, racing teams participating in the tournament will be interested in the ability to operate for longer in the 25-hour endurance race.
