At the recent 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Lamborghini presented its new Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo race car. Curiously, the new race car featured a rear-wheel-drive system as opposed to the all-wheel-drive setup found in the Gallardo Super Trofeo that it replaces from next year onward.

It turns out the road-going Huracán may also eventually come with rear-wheel drive, though it may be several years until we see it happen.

“We did it with the Gallardo so it might be an option,” Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann told Autocar when quizzed about the possibility of a rear-wheel-drive Huracán. “We are a four-wheel-drive super-sports car [manufacturer] but why should we not do a rear-drive option?”

Winkelmann went on to explain that Lamborghini buyers expect different versions of its cars, so it’s likely we’ll also see the return of a lightweight Superleggera model and convertible Spyder in addition to the rear-wheel-drive variant. It’s also likely we’ll see a track-focused Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse variant at some point.

The rear-wheel-drive Gallardo was launched in 2009 and was called the Gallardo LP 550-2 Balboni. It was named after famed Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni and was initially introduced as a special edition model limited to 250 units. It proved so popular that Lamborghini eventually added it to its regular lineup and even launched a Spyder version.
