Latest update of the Huracan, the Evo/

Lamborghini Huracan Evo (2019)

Automobili Lamborghini presented the new Lamborghini Huracán EVO: the next generation V10 super sports car, based on the prowess and performance of the Huracán Performante and incorporating next-generation vehicle dynamic control and aerodynamics.

"Lamborghini is intent on leading the advance to the highest level of super sports car technologies and driving emotion. This is the essence of the new Huracán EVO. It takes the extraordinary abilities of the Huracán Performante and combines state-of-the-art vehicle dynamic control to amplify the everyday Huracán driving experience," says Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini. "The Huracán EVO is the very definition of evolution: it is a step ahead, redefining the segment parameters. It is remarkably easy to drive, while delivering the most responsive, sensory and agile driving experience, in every environment."

Technological evolution amplifies driving emotion

The Lamborghini Huracán EVO features the 5.2 l naturally-aspirated Lamborghini V10 engine, uprated to produce higher power output and an emotional and powerful sound, with Titanium intake valves and refined lightweight exhaust system. The Huracán EVO outputs 640 hp (470 kW) at 8,000 rpm with 600 Nm of torque delivered at 6,500 rpm. With a dry weight of 1,422 kg the Lamborghini Huracán EVO reaches a weight-to-power ratio of 2.22 kg/hp, accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and from 0-200 km/h in 9.0 seconds. Braking from 100 km/h to 0 is achieved in just 31.9 m, with a top speed of more than 325 km/h.

Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI)

The Huracán EVO features new Lamborghini rear-wheel steering and a torque vectoring system working on the four wheels, while at the heart of the car is the new feature of Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI): a Central Processing Unit that controls every aspect of the car's dynamic behaviour, fully integrating all of the car's dynamic systems and set-up to anticipate the next move and needs of the driver, interpreting this into perfect driving dynamics.

Lamborghini Piattaforma Inerziale (LPI), a comprehensive set of accelerators and gyroscope sensors placed at the car's center of gravity, has been enhanced to version 2.0. With improved precision, it monitors in real-time the dynamic vehicle attitude regarding lateral, longitudinal and vertical accelerations, as well as roll, pitch and yaw rate. The magneto rheological suspension, upgraded to version 2.0, instantaneously adapts the damping following inputs from the LPI. A new advanced traction control system together with enhanced all-wheel drive and torque vectoring, allows traction to be directed to a single wheel as required.

Enhanced Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS), able to provide higher responsiveness in corners while requiring the lowest steering angles, is now coupled with rear-wheel steering in order to ensure agility at low speed, as well as maximum stability in high-speed cornering and under braking in the most severe conditions.

The unique combination of all these systems is governed by Lamborghini's LDVI to create a super-agile and responsive car with unparalleled level of control. Processing data in real time, the Huracán EVO recognizes the driver's intentions through steering wheel, brake and accelerator pedal inputs, engaged gear and the driving modes selected via ANIMA controller: STRADA, SPORT or CORSA.

External conditions are determined through active suspension and all-wheel drive grip estimation function. All of this information is analysed and processed by LDVI, which turns them into precise inputs for the vehicle dynamic system. A 'feed forward logic' is implemented via the dynamic controller, which means the car doesn't just react, but predicts the best driving set-up for the next moment.

Lamborghini Huracán Evo revealed with Performante power!

Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the Huracán Evo, with the facelifted V10-powered model gaining Performante power and what the Italian firm terms “next-generation vehicle dynamic control and aerodynamics”.

The Huracán Evo draws its urge from the same naturally aspirated 5,2-litre V10 used by the Huracán Performante, churning out 470 kW at 8 000 r/min and 600 N.m at 6 500 r/min. The ten-cylinder unit features titanium intake valves and a lightweight exhaust system.

Lamborghini says the Huracán Evo has a dry weight of 1 422 kg, which helps its achieve a claimed zero to 100 km/h time of 2,9 seconds (and a 0-200 km/h sprint of 9,0 seconds). Top speed, meanwhile, comes in at “more than 325 km/h”.

The Huracán Evo also gains rear-wheel steering and a torque vectoring system working on all four wheels, as well as “Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata”. The latter is essentially a central processing unit that the firm says “controls every aspect of the car’s dynamic behaviour, fully integrating all of the car’s dynamic systems and set-up to anticipate the next move and needs of the driver, interpreting this into perfect driving dynamics”.

Lamborghini furthermore says the vehicle’s set of accelerators and gyroscope sensors has been enhanced, now monitoring lateral, longitudinal and vertical accelerations, as well as roll, pitch and yaw rate, with “improved precision”.

The automaker says its “new advanced traction control system” now allows traction to be directed to a single wheel as required. The steering system, meanwhile, has been updated to provide “higher responsiveness in corners while requiring the lowest steering angles”.

And in terms of external appearance? Well, you may well notice the new front bumper as well as the enlarged air intakes. From the side, you’ll see the new alloy wheel design (pictured here in 20-inch guise) as well as the new side air intakes. At the rear, meanwhile, the twin outlets of the new sports exhaust system are positioned higher in the bumper, while a new slotted spoiler provides “enhanced air flow”.

Inside, there’s a new 8,4-inch HMI capacitive touchscreen sited in the centre console just above the start button. An optional dual-camera telemetry system is also offered via the touchscreen, allowing what Lamborghini describes as “advanced telemetry recording and analysis”.

“Lamborghini is intent on leading the advance to the highest level of super sports car technologies and driving emotion. This is the essence of the new Huracán Evo. It takes the extraordinary abilities of the Huracán Performante and combines state-of-the-art vehicle dynamic control to amplify the everyday Huracán driving experience,” said Stefano Domenicali, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

“The Huracán Evo is the very definition of evolution: it is a step ahead, redefining the segment parameters. It is remarkably easy to drive, while delivering the most responsive, sensory and agile driving experience, in every environment.”

Lamborghini unleashes Huracán Evo with 470kW

Lamborghini has hit the refresh button on its ‘baby’ supercar, and the result is what they call the Huracán Evo - which gets a host of stylistic and dynamic upgrades, along with a modernised cabin.

But most importantly, the powertrain has now been upgraded to the same spec as the previous Performante version, the 5.2-litre normally aspirated V10 pushing 470kW at a heady 8000rpm and 600Nm from 6500. That’s enough, they say, to blast you from 0-100km/h in 2.9 seconds and from 0-200 in nine secs flat.

Dynamics are sharpened with rear-wheel steering and a torque vectoring system, while a new central processing unit, called Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata, integrates all of the supercar’s systems to predict and respond to the current driving situation. Drivers can also choose from three modes: Strada, Sport and Corsa.

As for cabin electronics, the Huracán gets some much needed modernisation in the form of a new 21.3cm HMI capacitive touchscreen infotainment centre, which offers Apple CarPlay and Siri compatibility and multi-finger gesture control.

Plonk an extra wad of cash on the counter and Lamborghini will give you a dual-camera telemetry system, operated via the touchscreen and offering advanced recording and analysis.

New trims and a host of bi-colour options bring the cabin up to date, while the Evo exterior is marked out by redesigned front bumper, new side air intakes and 20-inch Aesir alloys, among other updates.

New Lamborghini Huracán Evo: updated 2019 supercar revealed

Lamborghini's revised Huracán receives more power, greater aero and tweaked styling, and is priced from £165,256

Lamborghini has also focused its efforts on the Huracan's chassis, but instead of messing with the nuts and bolts it has introduced a new chassis control system. Called Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) the system is set to control every aspect of the car's dynamics. Sensors constantly monitor the vehicle's acceleration, roll, pitch and yaw rate and can actively predict driver behavior, while a new generation of magneto rheological damping is brought in.

Enhanced torque vectoring in the all-wheel-drive system allows traction to be directed through any of the four wheels, while Lambo has also worked on the dynamic steering system to "provide higher responsiveness in corners which require the lowest steering angles".

The Huracán Evo's interior has benefitted from a new 8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen in the centre console. It controls everything from the climate control to the use of Apple CarPlay, wth a more advanced voice command system. New options include a dual-camera telemetry system with a high-capacity hard disk.

In addition to the standard changes, Lamborghini has also increased the Huracán's range of personalisation options, including new wheel and colour choices. Lightweight interior materials, including forged composits and a patented 'carbon skin', are available on request. A number of upholstery options, and a range of new style packs, have also been announced.

Lambo will commence deliveries of the new Huracán in the spring, with initial pricing details at £165,256 excluding taxes. No images of the Spyder convertible have been revealed as yet, but we know that car will benefit from the same changes when it goes on sale in a couple of months.

Lamborghini Huracan Evo Revealed

Lamborghini has revealed its latest updated version of the Huracan supercar which now offers revised styling inside and out as well as an uprated V10 engine.

Dubbed the Huracan Evo, this latest version draws on the performance of the Huracan Performante and wears a new front bumper but is easily recognised by its updated, lightweight exhaust system with dual exhaust pipes which is similar to that seen on its range-topping Performante sibling.

A naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine powers the Huracan Evo, but now offers slightly more power with outputs of 470 kW at 8 000 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 6 500 rpm. With a dry weight of 1 422 kg and equipped with rear-wheel steering and a torque vectoring system, the Huracan Evo will blast from zero to 100 kph in 2.9 seconds while it will only take 9.0 seconds to reach 200 kph from standstill. Top speed is rated at 325 kph.

The Huracan Evo wears a new 4-layer body colour called Arancio Xanto (there are at least 40 other colours on offer) and rides on new 20-inch Aesir rims shod with Pirelli P Zero rubber.

Notable interior updates include a new 8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen with multi-finger gesture control houses many in-car functions such as seat settings, climate control and infotainment, which has subsequently reduced the number of buttons/dials in the cabin. An exclusive mix of Alcantara and leather is used in the cabin with a number of bi-colour trim options available as an option. A range of style packs will also be offered for owners to customise their Huracan Evo.

Suggested pricing for the Huracan Evo in the US is roughly $261 274 excluding taxes, which translates to about R3 642 708. We will be driving the Huracan Evo later this month, so stay tuned for updates!

Lamborghini Huracan Evo 2019 review

Should I buy one?

There are now many more reasons to buy a Lamborghini Huracan than there were a couple of months ago. The Huracan Evo uses its hardware and technology to make the car not only faster and more responsive in theory, but more rewarding and engaging in practice.

With a base price in the UK of £206,000, however, Lamborghini’s V10 supercar has become notably expensive. In fact, it no longer goes up against the likes of the Audi R8 V10+ and McLaren 570S because it is so much costlier than both. Instead, it should be considered a rival to the 488 GTB and 720S mentioned above. Against such illustrious opposition, the much-improved Huracan might still be found wanting.

Lamborghini Huracan Evo (2019) International Launch Review

Lamborghini has introduced a revamped Huracan, called the Evo. The name suggests it is but a slight evolution of the super sportscar. In Bahrain, however, we found that it’s much more than that.

There are no driving roads in Bahrain, it’s a flat island that has a maximum elevation of around 130 metres above sea level. There’s no need for switchbacks, corners or interesting road building. It does have a racetrack, however, one that’s used to host the second F1 grand prix of every year and it’s a cracker of a track, notable for long sweeping corners and big stops. This is where I got to grips with the updated Lambo Huracan Evo and its plethora of technological features, which shifts it away from the "R8 with a Lambo casing" stigma that has plagued it since introduction (in 2014).

It doesn’t look different…

The exterior changes have been made purely with performance improvement in mind.

Yes, but there are a few notable changes... and for good reason. You get the impression that Lamborghini is stepping away from the old "playboy toy" or "Rambo Lambo" of old; as if it is striving to make a pure super sportscar that evokes sensory appeal both in looks and driving experience.

Physically the changes are purely for performance gain. The front has a new splitter and air intakes that usher 16% more air to into the radiators, allowing the engineers to ramp up the tolerances on the engine. The result is 470 kW and 600 Nm from the naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine. If you want to see an Italian engineer get emotional about their job, ask them why they haven’t gone the turbo route yet. They are enthusiasts to the core and hardcore fans of 8 000 rpm plus rev limit, with a profound, brings-a-tear-to-the-eye soundtrack to top it all off.

Mid-mounted exhausts as first seen on the Performant model. Also the gep in the rear wind helps with air flow.

Move around to the rear and the Evo has a more distinctive look. The exhausts have been lifted to flank the number plate (don’t tell McLaren) and this has made room for a huge rear diffuser that sucks air underneath the car, essentially vacuuming it to the ground and helping the newcomer to produce 7 times the downforce of the original Huracan.

If you look a little closer at the rear lip, you can just about see a little gap in it. This is another addition to the aerodynamic update; the revision is said to improve downforce and direct turbulence away from the car, all of which reduces its drag coefficient.

Anything else worth knowing?

Natural aspiration is still at the heart of the Huracan, now with 470 kW.

The Huracan Evo is a bit of a tech fest: it brims with new technologies that help it stick to the road, and unstick from the road (if "at the very limit of the performance envelope" driving is your poison) and make you feel like a hero without ever needing more than a smidgeon of courage and talent.

What's more, the Evo introduces 4-wheel-steer to the Huracan for the first time. Lamborghini has used the system before on the Aventador S. As with all 4-wheel-steer systems, the aim is to make the Evo more agile in low speed, tight corners, but then provide stability when cornering at higher speeds. You can actually see the system in action on the all-new integral 8.4-inch touchscreen, which was developed by Lambo.

Then there are other driving improvement systems. Torque vectoring allows for torque to be directed up and down the propshaft, but also side to side. The traction control system has been configured to create a more discernible difference between the 3 driving modes (Strada, Sport and Corsa), but more on that later.

Drive modes now have very distinctive behaviours for each setting.

All of these systems are governed by a single overlord: LDVI (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata). Normally each system acts independently according to their own parameters set by programming, but in the case of the Evo, one "brain" takes inputs from over 300 sensors and decides what corrective measures or improvements should be made. All of this can be done in real-time with no lag. If you think this is impressive computing power, the engineer that calibrated the LDVI assured me his Smartphone had more computing power and the job could be done by a '90s Pentium.

You said you drove it…

Yes, on a current F1 track... did I mention that? How that makes it any different from another track I’m not certain, but it’s cool nonetheless.

Initially, the electronic driving additions give the Evo a slightly weird response to the driver’s inputs. It’s very difficult to unsettle, even if you make wild swings with the steering wheel, the electronics mute any overreaction from the car.

The Bahrain track at night proved an excellent test of the high-speed stability bestowed on the Huracan Evo.

Once cranking up the speed a bit more, the electronics begin to dissipate into the background, allowing the driver to take more responsibility and push a few more limits. There is so much grip from the aero, chassis and tyres that the Evo’s not a playful car on the limit, it’s very seriously fast. Upshift from 3rd to 4th with a half turn of lock and the throttle flat to the floor? No problem, it sticks, not even a momentary wobble. That injection of torque and weight shift would normally have you counter steering and praying for some sort of divine intervention to keep it out of the wall.

Column mounted paddle shifters have their pros and cons, but Lamborghini has stuck with them.

The addition of 4-wheel-steering has also helped to circumvent the nasty understeer that took some of the edge off the pre-facelift version’s driving experience. The Evo will really whip into a hairpin, sometimes so fast and directly that there’s a slight disconnect with the steering as it lacks that "granular feel" to the wheel that gives you an exact indication of what the front wheels are doing.

Lambo wants you to take this car seriously (like you would a Ferrari 488 GTB). It’s very much a track tool meant for setting very fast lap times.

Will I feel like a hero?

During the press conference, Lamborghini representatives made it very clear that you can have fun in this car too. And by fun, they meant drift and slide about like a hooligan. It wasn’t implied and they didn’t even try to play it down, they literally said: "Go out there and drift, we want to see it".

The new Lamborghini brain can make you feel like a hero while making sure everything is under control.

An adjustment to the driving modes has made the Sport setting quite playful. It’s also here where the LDVI brain comes into its own. Sport mode has been given parameters to make it safe for road driving, but allows you to get the tail out – comfortably. You won’t pull mega drift angles, but it will hold a decent slide with full confidence that it can’t spin and won’t get out of control. The "brain" is able to predict what the driver wants in this scenario... Instead of intervening with traction control and a whole load of torque sent to the front to stop the drift, it aids you, doing everything it can to make you slide elegantly and professionally, when all you essentially need to do is put your foot flat and turn the wheel in the right direction.

Purists (and I’m usually one of them) may look down on a system like this, but when you’re driving something that costs around R5 million and you want to have a bit of fun without ending up in a Youtube crash video, this is a good solution.

Updated insides

There is a new Lambo-developed infotainment system that has a built in telemetry system.

The major interior update in the Evo's cabin is Lamborghini self-developed infotainment system. The 8.4-inch touchscreen sits above the caged start button and is quick and easy to navigate. It has all the modern functionality and apps built in as well as the best telemetry system I’ve seen in a production car. The data is downloadable but on the screen, you can pick a sensor, like lateral acceleration, throttle input, speed or brake application (to name a few) and then overlay that data with your best lap. As I said, Lambo wants the Evo to be seen as a very serious track car.

Verdict

The Huracan Evo separates itself from the Audi R8 and makes huge strides from the original Huracan.

The new Huracan Evo employs a lot of electronic wizardry to improve its delivery of speed. The electronics prove most effective in slow corners, where the 4-wheel-steer can really rotate the car quickly and neutralises some of that deflating understeer from the original car. In faster conditions, the improved aero and downforce glue the Evo to the ground, cranks up the stability and confidence to really grab the bull by the horns.

Yet, you can still be a bit of a fool with a very expensive car thanks to the newly programmed Sport mode. When you’re not comparing lap times on the track, it’s nice to know you can still relax a little and have fun on an awesome road without employing race driver reactions and skill.

What this new Huracan Evo does is take a huge leap forward from the standard car, but also makes it distinctly different from the Audi R8. In doing so, Lamborghini has managed to offload the proverbial monkey that the Huracan carried on its back since introduction.

DRIVEN: Lamborghini Huracán Evo

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a magic pill you could take that would instantly give you god-like driving skills? As it turns out, there is such a panacea, and it comes in the form of Lamborghini’s new Huracán Evo, which will soon replace the Huracán LP610-4 that’s been around since 2014.

Mere mortals are able to have the V10 bull dancing at the limits, and the magic pill is the addition of “predictive logic” software (the Huracán Evo is the first Lambo to feature this) that anticipates what you’re trying to do and is already several steps ahead of you in terms of setting the car up for what’s about to transpire.

The Huracán Evo is a mid-cycle upgrade rather than an all-new car, but fresh life has been breathed into Lambo’s “entry-level” supercar via the predictive software, plus the installation of four-wheel steer, torque vectoring and the same uprated V10 that features in the hardcore Huracán Performante. It may not get the “ALA” active aero that features in the Performante, but the Evo’s revised bodywork is claimed to deliver seven times more downforce than the Huracán LP610-4 that it replaces.

Our maiden thrash of the Huracán Evo is at the Bahrain International Circuit (check out the video below), a 5,412 km track that’s hosted a round of the F1 championship every year since 2004. Its flowing, undulating layout provides a suitable playground to uncork the full potential of the revamped Lambo, and the key takeaway from the fang is that the Evo is fast, furious and fun – much more so than its predecessor. Lamborghini executives say the car is three seconds a lap quicker around the Nardo test track than the LP610-4, and it feels it.

But more than the raw pace, it’s the newfound accessibility of the car’s dynamic repertoire that makes it such a delight to drive in anger. It begs you to wring its neck. A key contributor to this is LDVI (Lamborghini Dynamic Vehicle Integration) – an electronic brain that oversees all the vehicle dynamics gubbins and uses “feed-forward” logic to predictively tailor the driving setup 50 times a second.

Using info from accelerators and gyroscope sensors that measure roll, yaw and pitch (imagine a ship in high seas that’s being lurched from side to side, bounced off course and bobbing up and down, and you’ll get the idea of what these parameters are), the LDVI pre-emptively sets all the parameters – torque-vectoring, rear-steer, traction control – to make you look like a pro.

The beauty is that it makes you think you’re doing it all. Everything happens so seamlessly and invisibly that you’re completely unaware of the millions of computations and compensations taking place each lap. Electronic driver aids used to be a party pooper, but in this case they hugely enhance the fun factor. This might be a heavily digitised car, but it feels completely analogue.

Dive into a corner too hot? No problem. The LDVI has already sensed that and the individual torque split to each wheel, traction control and rear-steer has helped compensate for this. You still need to do your part by applying counter-steering and throttle/braking adjustments where necessary, but the electronic finessing behind the scenes provides you with added breathing space and a greater sense of security.

The addition of four-wheel steer has dialled out any trace of the slight turn-in understeer that afflicted the Huracán LP610-4, and the Evo’s dynamics are further sharpened by the fitment of the same stiffened stabiliser bars used in the Performante. That said, the Evo retains softer springs than the latter to make it a more user-friendly proposition across patchy tarmac.

That 5,2-litre V10 has always been a jewel of an engine, but in its latest guise – featuring titanium intake valves and a free-flow exhaust system that spits spent gases out via a huge pair of flame-thrower-mimicking pipes – it’s been escalated to an even loftier plane.

Towering outputs of 470 kW and 600 N.m partly tell the story (as do stats of 0-100 km/h in 2,9 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 9,0 seconds), but it’s the sheer joyful abandon with which the V10 spins its way past 8 000 r/min that separates it from the turbo horde. Few other engines out go about their business with such neck-hair-raising aural drama.

Ferrari’s 488 delivers a mightier mid-range wallop than the Lambo, but its turbo-fed torque spike (and the fact that only the rear wheels are doing the driving) makes it more of a handful when you’re on the ragged edge around a racetrack. The linearity of the Huracán Evo’s power delivery and razor-sharp throttle response means it’s a much easier car to finesse at the limit. It telegraphs its intentions and is terrifically adjustable.

The Lambo’s seven-speed dual-clutch ’box is fast and foolproof, although perhaps a fraction behind the whip-crack immediacy of the Ferrari’s transmission. Steering feel, too, isn’t quite as textured in the Huracán Evo as it is in the 488. But we’re talking very small degrees here.

The big change inside is the installation on the centre console of a new 8,4-inch touchscreen (with gesture control) that not only controls the infotainment, climate control and so forth, but can also be optionally configured with a dual-camera telemetry system that allows advanced telemetry recording and analysis. It’s a handy tool if you want to improve your on-track skills.

Visually, the Huracán Evo isn’t a massive departure from the LP610-4 it replaces, although the eagle-eyed among you may have picked up on the new front splitter and air intakes that optimally channel air under, over and around the car. There’s also a new aero-efficient underfloor design, while out back sits a massive diffuser that’s accommodated by the migration of the exhaust pipes upwards. Further up is a two-channel ducktail spoiler that helps keep the rear end glued to the tarmac at high speeds.

There’s no active aero in the Huracán Evo (R&D boss Maurizio Reggiani says that will be reserved for go-faster versions that will come later), but the newcomer is still claimed to be six times more aero efficient than its predecessor, as well as deliver 16 percent more engine cooling flow.

As a do-everything, drive-everyday supercar, the Huracán Evo can hold its own against pretty much anything else out there. The newfound agility and dynamism it’s gained via the high-tech chassis-control wizardry, all-wheel steer and uprated V10 have turned an already capable car into a great one. It’ll serve the Bolognese raging bull well until an all-new replacement arrives in another four years or so.

Lamborghini Will Not Make A Huracan Superleggera

As we all know, back when the Gallardo was in production, Lamborghini dubbed the hardcore version as the ‘Superleggera’. Shift along to the present day and the Gallardo replacement, the Huracan, received the ‘Performante’ designation when a more powerful and stripped out version was announced. But, Lamborghini is saying that the Superleggera name will not be coupled with the Huracan.

Having recently unveiled the Huracan Evo to the world which utilises the engine from the 640 horsepower (477 kW) Performante, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this mid-life refresh of the Huracan will inevitably get a special edition version. Alas, this will not be the case as Lamborghini’s Chief Technical Officer, Maurizio Reggiani, stated that the ,“[Supperleggera] badge is finished.”

“The short-term issue will be not how we can increase the power, but how to maintain the power when you consider all the new emissions regulations arriving. I mean, there’s APF (anti-particulate filter) designed to trap the ultra-fine particulates, which reduces the power further through reduced back pressure,” Reggiani said, referring to future emissions rules. “Euro 7 emissions regulations are also on their way and this means sticking the meter inside the combustion chamber for a potential reduction of power.”

In order to cope with all these new emission rules, there is no doubt that Lamborghini will have to develop more eco-friendly powertrains, such as hybrids. “We wouldn’t need so much power from the combustion engine and could look at alternatives.” The first Raging Bull to get a hybrid system will be the V12 Aventador.

Lamborghini chops the roof off the Huracan EVO Spyder

Completing the recently revised Huracan line-up, Lamborghini has unveiled a Spyder variant of its new EVO for fans who yearn for open-air exhilaration.

Like its coupe sibling, behind the cockpit lies the Performante-sourced naturally aspirated 5,2-litre V10 delivering 470 kW and 600 N.m of torque to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. With the Spyder weighing 100 kg more than the coupe, 0-100 km/h takes slighter longer at 3,1 seconds (as opposed to 2,9 in the tin top), while top speed is listed as 325 km/h. Braking performance is only slightly compromised with 100-0 km/h in 32,2 metres rather than 31,9. Stopping power is nevertheless provided by the same 380 mm six-piston front and 356 mm four-piston rear carbon ceramic brake disks.

Handling is aided by a four-wheel steering system as well as four-wheel torque vectoring via the Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata. A magnetic suspension works in conjunction with the ‘Lamborghini Piattaforma Inerziale to manage roll, pitch and yaw rates.

Bearing the new EVO moniker, Lamborghini boasts this generation of the Spyder is five times more aerodynamic than the previous model. The brand also promises that the Huracan EVO Spyder will be more comfortable and allow less wind into the cabin.

That retractable roof can be electronically lowered in 17 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h.

Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder Drops Its Top Ahead Of Geneva

As expected the drop top version of the new Lamborghini Huracán EVO has been revealed ahead of its global premiere at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

Just like its Coupe sibling the Huracán EVO Spyder packs a naturally aspirated V10 which pushes out 640 hp (477 kw) and 600 Nm of torque. This is good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 325 km/h.

“The Huracán EVO Spyder incorporates all the performance, next-generation vehicle control and aerodynamic features of the EVO coupé, with its own unique personality and a driving excitement that only an open-top car can offer,” says Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Spyder continues the Huracán EVO’s evolutionary charge: extremely easy to drive while excelling as a highly responsive, fun super sports car. Particularly with the roof open, the emotive sound of the naturally aspirated engine and the refined, lightweight exhaust system take the sensory experience to a new level. The Huracán EVO Spyder’s design, performance and exhilarating open-air drive experience is literally breath-taking.”

Yes it is simply a Huracán EVO that can drop its roof but what do you need to know?

With roof either up or down, the aerodynamic competency of the EVO Spyder, has more than five times the downforce and efficiency of the original Huracán Spyder
The electrohydraulic, lightweight soft top opens via a button positioned on the central tunnel in just 17 seconds up to a driving speed of 50 km/h (31 mph).
How good does it look finished in Verde Selvans? This is an iconic new Lamborghini four-layer green, and one of an enhanced range of colors and trims available for the Huracán EVO coupé and Spyder.

New 631bhp Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder revealed

Lambo follows up the launch of its updated Huracan coupe with a drop-top version, set for a public debut in Geneva

Lamborghini has revealed the new Huracán Evo Spyder in full ahead of its first public sighting at the Geneva motor show next week.

The convertible supercar follows the launch of the Huracán Evo, an updated and more powerful Huracán coupé, late last year. It features the same 631bhp 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, resulting in a 0-62mph time in 3.1 seconds. That's 0.2 sec slower than the hard-top model.

The 201mph top speed is identical to the coupé, however, despite the Spyder's 120kg weight penalty. Much of that extra weight is down to the car's soft-top mechanism, using an electrohydraulic set-up to lower it in 17 seconds flat up to a speed of 31mph.

Automatic pop-up rollover bars are hidden behind the seats, while the rear window can be retracted electrically whether the roof is up or down, allowing the car's engine note to be more prominent to those in the cabin.

The Huracán Evo's range of new chassis technologies, including rear-wheel steering and four-wheel torque vectoring, transfer unchanged to the Spyder. Lambo claims the car's aerodynamic prowess, with more than five times the downforce and aero efficiency of the old Huracán, is also maintained, while cabin airflow is said to be "minimised" to assure a "quiet cockpit environment" - when the V10 isn't on song, of course.

Lamborghini has confirmed the Huracán Evo Spyder will be available to order shortly and cost from £218,137 including taxes, making it around £12,000 pricier than the hard-top. UK deliveries are expected in the Spring.
