Only three days after having restarted manufacturing operations on May 4, Automobili Lamborghini revealed the new Huracán EVO Rear-Wheel Drive Spyder via Augmented Reality on its official website — marking a first in the company’s history.
The new model arrives as an open-air celebration of lightweight engineering and boasts of rear-wheel drive and a specially tuned Performance Traction Control System (P-TCS). Whether the car’s roof is up or down, daily driving and high-performance fun are accompanied by the signature sound of a naturally aspirated V10 that puts out 610hp and 560Nm of torque. The new Huracán EVO RWD Spyder can accelerate from rest to 100 km/h in only 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 324 km/h.
Engineered as a pure driver’s car, the new Huracán EVO RWD Spyder produces top performance but remains focused on the driver’s skills. This guarantees unfiltered feedback and maximum engagement, delivering an exhilarating driving experience.
The specially tuned P-TCS traction control system is designed for adrenalin-producing performance in all conditions, consistently delivering torque and assuring traction even as the new Huracán EVO RWD Spyder is emerging from sharp cornering or drifting. The car’s ANIMA button on the steering wheel controls driving modes, with the P-TCS calibrated to suit. In STRADA mode, the focus is on stability and safety in all conditions. SPORT mode allows for drifting fun as the rear wheels can slide and skate during acceleration. CORSA mode optimizes the car’s traction and agility when exiting a corner at high speeds.
The new Huracán EVO RWD Spyder’s aluminum and thermoplastic resin body sits on a lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber chassis. Ventilated and cross-drilled brakes that stop 19-inch rims fitted with special Pirelli P Zero tires.
Differentiating the new Huracán EVO RWD Spyder from the earlier released Huracán EVO 4WD Spyder are updated front and rear features, like a splitter and vertical fins within the larger, framed front air intakes, and a unique rear bumper diffuser in high-gloss black.
The soft-top roof of the new Huracán EVO RWD Spyder stows within 17 seconds under the rear hood, even at speeds of 50 km/h. Available in a range of colors, the soft-top roof perfectly complements the rear-wheel drive car’s body lines and paint options while ensuring a quiet cockpit.
In the cabin, an 8.4-inch HMI touchscreen placed on the center console controls the car’s various functions, as well as provides comprehensive connectivity for telephone calls, internet access and Apple CarPlay.
As Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and CEO Stefano Domenicali puts it; “The Huracán EVO Rear-Wheel Drive Spyder doubles the driving fun, delivering raw driving pleasure with the opportunity to celebrate life outside. The driver is perfectly in touch with Lamborghini’s engineering heritage, experiencing the feedback and engagement from the setup of a rear-wheel drive car where electronic intrusion is minimized, while enjoying the sense of freedom and spirit of life that only open-top driving provides.”
