LMU Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo 2 Guide – The Inside Line

Ever since Lamborghini first started building GT3 challengers in-house back in 2015, its Huracán challenger has flown the flag for the iconic Italian marque around the world. The Huracán GT3 has been updated continuously over the past decade, with the latest Evo 2 version of the car making its debut in 2023.  

The Huracán Evo 2 made its anticipated debut in Le Mans Ultimate as part of the title’s fifth 2024 season content update, which, along with the Lexus RC F GT3, completed the 2024 content in LMU. This guide will run you through everything you need to know about the only V10-powered GT3 car in the Sims roster.  

The Huracán Evo 2 Has Proven A Trusty Tool In Reality

The Huracán Evo 2 has competed in the vast majority of GT racing championships utilising GT3 regulations since its 2023 debut, the car claiming wins all over the world, as well as prestigious titles in series such as the DTM and British GT. The LMGT3 version of the car tackled the World Endurance Championship in 2024, courtesy of the Iron Lynx and Iron Dames teams, which were run out of the same stable.

While showing strong speed at times, the 2024 term proved to be a tricky one for the Huracán Evo 2. It only reached the rostrum once, at the Spa 6 Hours courtesy of Franck Perera, Mattero Cressoni and Claudio Schiavoni, though the all-female Iron Dames crew managed to secure eighth in the drivers’ standings off the back of three top-five finishes. 

Sadly, the Huracán dropped off the WEC grid ahead of the 2025 season, with the Iron Lynx squad instead switching to run Mercedes’ fledgling program, while the Dames switched to Porsche machinery. Its wailing V10 engine note remains firmly fixed in the minds of fans, though, which fits perfectly with the raging bull’s aggressive styling. 

Car Specifications & Key Features

The Huracán GT3 Evo 2 stands apart from its LMGT3 rivals due to being the only one of the contingent to utilise a V10 engine, with the naturally aspirated making itself known as soon as you plant the throttle to the floor. The 5.2-litre unit makes a glorious sound and is placed in the middle of the car to aid weight distribution. The engine makes around 640 hp, though its final power output is dependent on the level of BOP applied.  

The Huracán GT3 Evo 2 is built to extreme detail by LMU’s developers to perfectly capture the changes made from the previous version of the vehicle. 

• A new roof air scoop and tail fin were brought along to help improve air flow into the engine, which ensures it’s more responsive when getting on the throttle
• Revised electronically actuated throttle bodies were also implemented to improve the efficiency of the V10
• Its aero package was also tweaked to afford the vehicle a more stable aero platform, which improves its stability in faster corners

Handling & Performance on Track

The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo 2 will feel pretty familiar to those who tend to gravitate towards mid-engined cars in LMU, with its heavy mid-mounted V10 acting as a counterweight that helps to induce rotation when turning.

The Huracán Evo 2 provides an engaging cornering balance as a result, with the car reacting well to input changes mid-corner. This means you’ll be able to recover from small errors on entry, at least once you’ve got a handle on the car. 

Those less acquainted with the car will find that the rear can slide around on corner entry and midpoints, which can sap confidence. Once you get some driving time under your belt, you’ll find you can use this extra rotation to carry extra momentum, and therefore speed on exit. The Huracán GT3’s force feedback is also nicely intuitive, which will help you keep on top of the car under braking and during the cornering phase. 

You’ll need to watch out for corner exits, though, as the Huracán GT3 Evo 2 tends to suffer from understeer once you’re on the power past the apex. This will force you to blend off the throttle to prevent running wide, which will cost you exit speed and time down the following straight. You’ll need to hang the rear out mid-corner to prevent losing too much time on exit, which is a tough ask for less experienced drivers. 

• Reducing TC to a lower setting can help get around this, though it’ll make the car snappier under power
• The Huracán is stable under braking for the most part, though the rear can bite and snap around if you’re too aggressive when trailbraking
• Good mid-corner adjustability helps to look after the tires during a stint, and will also improve your chances of recovering from making a small car positioning error on the entry or during the bend
• The naturally aspirated V10 is smooth and provides good traction, though it can be easy to light the rears up when using lower TC settings to reduce corner exit understeer
• ABS can engage earlier due to the Lambo having less weight on the front tires due to the mid-engine layout, which can cause corner entry understeer if you push the front tires too far
• As with all LMGT3 cars, this spec of Huracán GT3 Evo 2 has less downforce and power than GT3s in other sims like ACC and iRacing, which use ACO and IMSA spec rules

Best Tracks for the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo 2 in Le Mans Ultimate

The Huracán GT3 Evo 2 is a solid performer down the straights, and its good natural rotation means it’ll be a force to be reckoned with at most tracks in LMU. Venues that feature more corners with slower exits will better suit the car, as you won’t have to worry as much about its tendency to understeer on exit. As a consequence, you could run a slightly more stable setup that makes it more docile on entry and mid-corner.     

• This makes it a good option at tracks like Monza and Sebring, while its strong mid-corner adjustability means it’ll do well at tracks with potentially car-upsetting curbs, like Imola
• Tracks with very long corners like Fuji and COTA could prove trickier given their corner exit understeer, though more experienced drivers should be able to get around this by hanging the tail out more
• The Huracán GT3 Evo 2 is a tricky customer in the rain due to rotation, especially for newer drivers

The Huracán GT3 Evo 2 is a strong prospect in real life too, as it has found success at a range of tracks. This is illustrated by its podium finish at Spa, and other strong results in Bahrain and at Le Mans

How It Compares to Other Cars in the Class

The Huracán GT3 Evo 2 drives generally pretty similarly to the other mid-engined cars featured in LMU, though drivers with more confidence with vehicles that rotate more freely will like the way you can play with the car through the bend.

The corner exit understeer can make it harder to extract time than when using cars like the Ferrari 296 GT3 and McLaren 720s GT3 Evo, though the ability to play around with the car in real time helps make up for this. 

• Front-engined cars will offer more consistent stability on corner entries and mid-points, though the Huracán fights back with greater natural rotation
• This makes it pretty similar to other mid-engined cars, though be careful of the Huracan’s tendency to understeer on exit  

Those who like a car with a looser rear end that they can play around with during the corner will get on well with the Lambo, though you’ll need to get a feel for the handling of the car before you can exploit this trait. Those who are less experienced or prefer a car that a safer understeer balance should steer clear, as driving the car this way will limit lap time. 

To take a look at the other cars available as part of LMU’s LMGT3 class, Coach Dave Academy’s guide to the rest of the field may help you to find the steed of your dreams.

Final Verdict: Is the Lamborghini Huracán Evo 2 the Right Choice for You?

Drivers who enjoy the car moving around beneath them, and who relish the challenge of allowing the car to steer itself, so to speak, will be best suited to the Huracán GT3 Evo 2. You’ll need to loosen the car up to ensure it doesn’t understeer too much on the corner exit, making it tricky to drive on the limit. 

The car’s linear V10 engine ensures it isn’t too aggressive on the power, though you’ll likely need to utilise lower TC settings to ensure it doesn’t understeer when you get on the throttle. These elements ensure that the Huracán is difficult to master, though its balance is immensely rewarding once you do.

As a result of these traits, the Huracán GT3 Evo 2 will be best suited to more experienced drivers, who are happy with the car moving about more underneath them. Those who prefer a safer balance will be better suited to more benign mid-engined cars like the 296 GT3, or front-engined challengers like the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo or BMW M4 GT3.

Wrapping Up

For those happy to put a bit of work in, the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo 2 provides an excellent challenge that brings great rewards once you nail down its balance.

It will need to be driven more on the edge to overcome its natural corner exit understeer, though it’s still not a car that will throw you into the wall with the slightest mistake. For those looking for more of a challenge after driving more neutral vehicles, the Huracán is a great option.
