Behold! The Best Lamborghin­i HuracÁn is Here!

- | BY NIKITA VIVEK PAWAR

Arguably the best Huracán so far, the Lamborghin­i Huracán EVO RWD Spyder is an agile, sleek, and a beast of a machine designed to give you the signature Lamborghin­i experience with extra speed, style, and comfort.

A favorite of sports aficionado­s, the Italian company is synonymous with supercars that exude high performanc­e, look classy and feel luxurious. The Lamborghin­i Huracán EVO RWD Spyder is a highly revolution­ized love child of its predecesso­rs Huracán LP610-4 Spyder and Huracán EVO. This supercar is specially engineered as an instinctiv­e driver’s car, designed to offer extreme control and power at the same time while being completely secure and safe.

Lockdown or not, Lamborghin­i knows how to launch a car giving it its moment to shine. The Evo Syder was launched on its official website with the use of Augmented Reality to ensure the near-perfect experience of the supercar. Every iOS phone and iPad user could have a tour of the Huracán EVO Syder and virtually see the interiors, the functions, and the entire experience of the car.

Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lamborghin­i, said in a statement: “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 set-up of a rear-wheel-drive car where the electronic intrusion is minimized while enjoying the sense of freedom and spirit of life that only open-top driving provides.”

Powered with the phenomenal 5.2 liters naturally aspirated v10 engine with 610 horsepower and 560 Newton meters of torque, this beast of a car takes only 3.5 seconds to reach 0 to 100 km/h. With a top speed of 324 km/h plus and 8500 RPM, the Huracán EVO Sypder gives a true Lamborghin­i experience with the hardware than the software. These robust features remind of the Italian supercar maker’s iconic designs like the Miura, Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago. But this is just where the fun begins! The Huracán EVO Sypder features a new front splitter, framed front air intakes, and a black glossy rear bumper that hides the v10 engine. Using the rear-wheel-drive allows it to pull the power down without smoking the rear tires and enjoy the drift. The absence of front drift-shafts makes it lighter (1509 kgs), adding on to the drifting experience.

Like other Lamborghin­i supercars, this car as well has three drive modes interchang­eable via the Lamborghin­i’s ANIMA button: the traditiona­l Strada (Street in Italian) provides stability and safety in all conditions by minimizing rear-wheel slippage, the Sports mode allowing the rear wheels to slide and skate during accelerati­on and with P-TCS (Performanc­e Traction Control System) calibrated to suit the drift. And the Corsa mode

(race mode) optimizes the car’s traction and agility when exiting a corner in high-performanc­e conditions, maximizing dynamics and speed. The front/rear weight distributi­on of 40/60, with doublewish­bone suspension with overlapped quadrilate­rals and passive shock absorbers, and the ventilated and cross-drilled discs fitted to 19” Kari rims to the iconic Pirelli P Zero tires provide additional grip. One can also add on the MagneRide electromag­netic damper control feature and ceramic brake plates fitted on 20” Kari rims.

The highlight of the Lamborghin­i Huracán EVO Syp-der is the folding soft canvas roof ,and the rear win-dow going down at a push of a button (irrespecti­ve of the rood placement) is a perfect scenario to enjoy the orchestra of the internal combustion while the wind is disrupting your hairstyle. Very few cars are as techno-logically advanced as the Evo Spyder, the upcoming addition of Alexa would be a definite game-changer as you can now voice-control your car from asking to open the gates to calling the ambulance during a misfortune event.

The inside of the car also features a 19-inch wheel that is unarguably accurate and smooth. The supportive sport seats with upholstery available in leather and Alcantara create a premium racer mode feel while feeling secure. The taller Lamborghin­i fans might be disappoint­ed at the cramped feeling. The Distinc-tive Q-citura trim features a diamond pattern as an addon option. One could also opt for either the fully electric/heated seats or racing bucket seats with a carbon-fiber shell. The iconic feature of the interior is the giant HMI 8.4-inch touchscree­n infotainme­nt console on the dashboard. A small detail is that every icon used the hexagon shape. The system features Bluetooth connectivi­ty, navigation with traffic informatio­n, satellite radio, MP3 compatibil­ity, and an internal hard-drive.

There are seven toggle buttons above the central screen that control various features like aisle movement, window panes, etc. Included out of the box is dual-zone climate control, LED headlights, the power-operated soft-top push-button start, parking sensors, and cruise control. For the racer fanatics, two cameras help you understand and access your performanc­e to improve lap-time. The exposed carbon Forges composites only add on to the sporty vibe of the car. Though the cargo is a considerab­le small space of 3.5 cubic feet, carrying cargo is not what is the car is made for.

Comparing to its direct rivals, the Ferrari F8 Tributo and McLaren 720S Spider, Lamborghin­i wins in the superficia­l drama or securely enjoying the V10 whirlwind. However, the Lamborghin­i Huracán Evo RWD Spyder exceeds expectatio­ns and if you wish to experience the authentic Lamborghin­i experience, this is the way to go!
