The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 represents the latest evolution of Lamborghini’s customer GT3 program, and in iRacing, it stands as one of the most refined and competitive GT3 cars available. Debuting in the 2023 Season 4 build (September 2023), the EVO2 builds upon the success of the original Huracán GT3 and EVO by improving drivability, aerodynamics, and long-run stability.
Powered by a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 producing around 550 horsepower, the EVO2 combines Lamborghini’s trademark aggression with modern engineering. With a new aero package, updated electronics, and improved tire management, the EVO2 is a top choice for sprint races and endurance events alike.
Performance & Specs
- Engine: 5.2L naturally aspirated V10
- Horsepower: ~550 hp (Balance of Performance dependent)
- Transmission: 6-speed sequential paddle-shift
- Weight: ~1,250 kg (BoP dependent)
- Top Speed: ~175 mph depending on setup and track
- Electronics: Advanced ABS and traction control
The car pairs raw V10 power with updated GT3 aerodynamics to create a package that is aggressive yet highly controllable in the hands of a smooth driver.
Aerodynamic Refinements
The EVO2’s defining feature is its aero package update, which improves both stability and efficiency:
- Larger Rear Wing: Provides more consistent downforce at high speed.
- Revised Diffuser: Improves airflow, aiding cornering stability.
- Front Aero Details: Subtle refinements give sharper front-end response.
These changes make the car more predictable, especially in medium- and high-speed corners, and reduce the punishing tire wear seen in earlier versions.
Handling Characteristics
The EVO2 feels more stable than many other GT3 cars.
- Cornering: Aero grip makes it confidence-inspiring through fast sweepers.
- Braking: Strong and consistent with ABS, but precision is required to avoid locking under pressure.
- Throttle: The V10 delivers smooth, linear power, but poor throttle discipline overheats rear tires.
- Balance: The car naturally understeers slightly, which helps beginners but can frustrate advanced drivers searching for rotation.
Compared to twitchier cars like the Audi R8 LMS GT3, the EVO2 is forgiving while still offering pace at the top level.
Difficulty Level
The Lamborghini sits in the accessible but competitive tier of GT3 cars. Beginners find comfort in its high downforce and stability, while advanced drivers can unlock more speed through setup refinements and throttle discipline.
It is approachable enough for rookies moving up from GT4 but nuanced enough to remain a weapon in top-split endurance races.
Real-World Tie-In
The EVO2 is Lamborghini’s response to evolving GT3 regulations and the global endurance landscape. It competes in:
- IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship
- FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)
- GT World Challenge
- Endurance events like the 24 Hours of Spa and 24 Hours of Daytona
Its design reflects years of Huracán GT3 success while improving customer team support and reliability.
Why Drive the Huracán GT3 EVO2 in iRacing?
- Stability: Aero package inspires confidence.
- Consistency: Handles long runs without punishing tire wear.
- Power Delivery: Linear V10 makes throttle management intuitive.
- Competitiveness: BoP ensures it remains a strong pick in multi-make GT3 racing.
Whether you are racing in the IMSA iRacing Series, the VRS GT Endurance Championship, or special events like the Daytona 24, the Huracán GT3 EVO2 is always a front-line contender.
Tips for Success
- Trust the Aero: The car thrives in high-speed corners when driven smoothly.
- Brake Precisely: Use ABS wisely — late braking can cause instability.
- Manage Tires: Over-aggression leads to overheating, especially at the rear.
- Setup Focus: Run higher downforce at technical tracks; switch to low-drag setups for high-speed venues.
The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 is more than just an upgrade — it is a transformation of an already successful platform. In iRacing, it delivers stability, speed, and endurance-ready drivability, making it one of the most complete GT3 cars on the grid.
It is aggressive yet stable, rewarding both beginners learning GT3 racing and veterans chasing wins in the most competitive fields.
