Except it is not, it's literally a racecar for the road in the purest form. Lamborghini has transitioned and homologated Huracan Super Trofeo Evo racecar for road-legal use. The only thing it will be missing is the racecar interior and suspension. Everything else will look essentially like this:
ALA is just marketing. This doesn't have ALA, but what it hopefully has is some actual aero. With ~1460kg kerb weight it will need it.
With just 640 hp I doubt it will be able to challenge the Senna....
The HP figure is really not that important for lap times. On some fast circuits, sure, but that's why I said on some tracks
. Of course, then there is also the problem that it's heavier than the Senna, and there is no guarantee it's gonna have more downforce - especially downforce in relation to its weight - than the Senna. So I might be wrong. But then again, Senna was released a long enough time ago for Lamborghini to benchmark its performance while they were developing this. So in my view, it's really the question of how much road worthiness they were willing to sacrifice.
Yes agree, but 160 ps deficit, similar weight, and the fact that Senna is also a downforce monster is making me doubt.... it will be interesting to see when it gets tested, a track monster it will be for sure!The HP figure is really not that important for lap times.

The HP figure is a bit disappointing nevertheless, though. They could have made the engine rev 500 RPM higher and that already would bring you to about 670-680 hp, in addition to having a headline grabbing 9000 RPM redline figure. But I guess with the V10 getting cancelled, the engine development money was tight. And speaking of which, weight reduction of only 83kg is also not that impressive considering just removing the front diff would save you close to 50kg. Well, anyway, we'll see, it might end up impressive regardless.
The GT3 is a class above, and it's faster around the track despite having less power thanks to it being developed as a thoroughbred race car from the beginning with a different suspension geometry and a more sophisticated aero package which has 50% more downforce as mentioned in the article below by Motor Trend, where the author tested both vehicles.
Senna has 800kg at 250km/h. Which equals to 512kg at 200km/h. So if the STO really has the same downforce as the Super Trofeo, then it should have more (938kg at 250 for those curious).
The rumor is that it's coming with a new version of the Trofeo Rs. Guess we'll see tomorrow.
