Lamborghini unleashes new EVO supercar
LAMBORGHINI has showcased the replacement for its Huracan supercar – the Evo. The Huracan Evo gets a bold new styling package which takes cues from the flagship Performante model, as well as more power.
It sees a new diffuser, taillights and a highexit exhaust all added to the car, giving it a far more aggressive appearance. Even the underside of the car has been extensively styled to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
These updates are thought to apply to the all-wheel-drive LP610-4 Coupe and Spyder models, though it is expected that rear-wheeldrive LP580-2 models will receive the facelift too.
The Huracan Evo’s performance has been
boosted over the previous car too. Power is now up to 631bhp – an increase of just under 30bhp over the old car – and it’ll hit 60mph in just 2.7 seconds. Drive comes courtesy of a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine, and Lamborghini claims that the Huracan Evo will hit over 200mph flat-out.
It features both rear-wheel steering and torque vectoring for enhanced cornering abilities, while Enhanced Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) gives greater responsiveness in the bends.
Inside, the Huracan Evo benefits from an 8.4-inch colour touchscreen, which features multi-finger gesture control. Lamborghini quotes the new Huracan Evo’s price in the UK as £165,256, excluding retail price taxes.
