What"s this, then?A car built to do skids. When you cut away all the fluff around the rear-wheel drive Lamborghini Huracan, that"s what it"s all about.Lamborghini say it"s built for fun, and that one of the five pillars that defines this model the other four being handling, load transfer, wheel control and steering feel is Power Oversteer". It deserves the capitals.When was the last time you heard a car company be that blatant about, well, anything?So there"s nothing more to the LP580-2 than good old-fashioned sliding about?There"s a little more. It"s also lighter, softer, and - crucially - cheaper than the 4WD Huracan LP610-4, which means it"s targeted at a slightly different buyer.The price hasn"t been confirmed yet, but within a sniff of 160,000 is the best indication, undercutting its sibling by around 20,000.This brings it into the same price range as the McLaren 570S, Porsche 911 Turbo and a well-specced Audi R8.
