When it comes to car spotting, catching a prototype [Lamborghini Huracan Superleggera running hot around the Nurburgring](<https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/video-2017-lamborghini-hurac%C3%A1n-superleggera-tests-n%C3%BCrburgring>) is hard to top—but it can be done. By, for example, catching *two* prototype Lamborghini Huracan Superleggeras running hot around the Nurburgring.

A [YouTuber named Automotive Mike](<https://www.youtube.com/user/AutomotiveMike/videos>)—who, fittingly, runs an automotive-centric channel—caught a couple examples of [the new Lamborghini Huracan Superleggera running rings around other cars](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfT47xrhuqM>) at the Nurburgring earlier this week. While the car was wrapped in camera-confusing camouflage, the stresses of 'Ring running meant all the car's pieces of aerodynamic apparatus needed to be open to the air—which meant leaving the Superleggera's massive rear wing, knife-drawer front fascia, and high-mounted dual exhausts exposed for the world to see. And, in the case of those big-bore tailpipes, to hear. Not that anything short of a wad of cotton the size of Alabama could muffle this sucker.

Assuming the [Huracan](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/3626/11-year-old-in-lamborghini-huracan-smokes-man-in-corvette>) Superleggera follows in the fine tradition of super-light Lambos past, such as the Gallardo Superleggera, it will be a wee bit more powerful and about one chubby Italian lighter than the regular version of the super sports car. It will likely stick with all-wheel-drive, in the name of ultimate grip. Expect much of the weight loss to be achieved through greater use of carbon fiber, as [Lamborghini has gone all-in on the miracle weave](<https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/lamborghini-forged-carbon-fiber-manufacturing-process/>) for the near future.

Considering how close to production-spec the Lamborghini [Huracan](<https://www.thedrive.com/supercars/1306/watch-a-lamborghini-hurac-n-hoon-around-imola>) Superleggera in this video looks, we wouldn't be surprised to see it debut at the Paris Motor Show in a couple months' time. It will almost certainly cost more than your house.
