According to PSC Motorsport - a Thai racing team, the unit is preparing this model to participate in a 25-hour endurance race in 2025. Although the idea of abandoning the V10 engine for a small capacity engine with VTEC may make the car slower, PSC Motorsport has good reasons to make this change.
According to race regulations, the Huracan Super Trofeo would not be able to compete in the endurance race with the original Huracan Super Trofeo Evo using a naturally aspirated V10 engine. So PSC Motorsport replaced the Lambo's engine with the same 2.0-liter turbocharged K20C four-cylinder engine as the FK8 Honda Civic Type R.
The engine is largely stock, but it has been fitted with a new air intake and a top-mounted intercooler that draws cool air from a large roof vent. The team was able to design custom mounts that allow the four-cylinder to connect seamlessly to the Super Trofeo Evo’s stock six-speed sequential gearbox. The engine produces around 350 horsepower and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque at the rear wheels. The turbochargers are also larger than those on a regular FK8.
Obviously, the new model is not as powerful as a standard Huracan race car, but it does benefit from a custom carbon fiber body with aerodynamic upgrades. In particular, this model goes beyond the upgrades of a regular Huracan Super Trofeo Evo race car. Changes like a large rear wing with swan-neck brackets, a carbon fiber diffuser, and a large front splitter are designed to be race-ready.
There’s no word yet on how much slower the new car will be than the regular Huracan, but teams will be keen to see how much longer it can last in the 25-hour endurance race.
