Huracan LP610-4 Spyder
Automobili
Lamborghini presents the new Huracan LP610-4 Spyder at 2015 Frankfurt
International Motor Show. The open top version of the Huracan LP610-4 combines
the power and performance of the coupé with the emotion of open-air driving.
The
new Lamborghini Huracan Spyder stands for inspiring technology, outstanding
quality and breathtaking performance. Luxurious comfort with a pure and dynamic
design ensures the convertible version of the Huracan is an iconic Lamborghini
in its own right. Its lightweight, electrohydraulic soft top gives the new
Lamborghini a distinctive presence with roof both open and closed, and maximum
comfort for driver and passenger with uncompromising handling and performance.
The
Lamborghini Huracan Spyder demonstrates the latest evolution of Lamborghini's
characteristic design language. It provides outstanding VISUAL IMPACT while
adhering to the Lamborghini principle of 'form follows function': the
Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 Spyder is as exciting to look at as it is to drive.
The
most distinctive feature of the Huracan Spyder is its new soft top. The roof is
available in three different colors: black, brown and red. Even with the roof
up, the lines of the Spyder differ significantly from those of the coupé. At
4.46 meters long and 1.92 meters wide, the Lamborghini
Huracan Spyder stands just 1.18 meter high. The lightweight soft
top fits perfectly into the Spyder's silhouette while up, and when down is
hidden away into the most efficient space possible, maintaining the Spyder's
perfect center of gravity and revealing the athletic and equally powerful lines
of the open car. Hidden automatic pop-up safety bars do not spoil the open
car's low silhouette.
The
new 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.
Whether the soft top is up or down, the driver can also electronically open the
rear window, which functions as a windshield when closed and when open, as an
amplifier of the unique engine sound of the naturally aspirated V10.
With
the roof down, a distinctive design solution with two movable fins has been
developed. The fins become visible during the opening process, rising out of
the folding roof casing and perfectly defining the design of the open car.
Enhancing the car's low, powerful appearance, these rear fins that start at the
seatbacks continue the roof line to the rear, perfectly shaping the side view
of the Spyder. An integrated duct reduces turbulence in the headroom during
open top driving.
For
even further comfort there are two removable lateral wind guards damping the
lateral aerodynamic pulsations, thus ensuring perfect acoustic comfort that
allows a conversation even at high speeds. Aerodynamic studies have resulted in
leaving the upper part of the windshield free from any wind nets or mobile
spoilers. A simple wind brace is discreetly embellished tone-on- tone with the
Huracan Spyder's logo, or can be additionally personalized. Last but not least,
the two fins contribute to optimizing airflow through the engine compartment,
which is covered by a slatted engine bonnet specific to the Spyder. The air
intakes of the engine compartment are painted in black.
The
hybrid chassis of the Huracan Spyder LP610-4 combines aluminum components front
and rear with extensive carbon fiber elements in the occupants' cell. The
exterior skin is made from aluminum. This lightweight chassis provides
exceptional torsional stiffness for an open top car, improved by 40% over its
Gallardo predecessor, and delivering the handling precision of a race car
whilst forming the backbone of the lightweight engineering concept. The new
Spyder boasts a dry weight of just 1,542 kilograms, giving it a
power-to-weight ratio of 2.53 kilograms per hp.
The
Huracan Spyder's outstanding aerodynamics include a fully flat and smooth
underbody, while a large diffuser dissipates air beneath the rear end and a
fixed spoiler is integrated into the tail. In terms of downforce, the Huracan
Spyder exceeds its Gallardo predecessor by 50%, and with roof closed benefits
from a very low drag coefficient with wind noise virtually eliminated.
The
naturally aspirated, long-stroke V10 engine delivers its full, engaging
potential in the Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 Spyder, especially with the top
down. Offering the same technical qualities as in the Huracan Coupé, it is a
sports car engine at its very best. It is extremely responsive, revs up to
8,700 rpm and composes a richly tuneful and unmistakeable symphony of sound.
From its 5.2-liter displacement, it generates 610 hp at 8,250 rpm,
delivering 560 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.
The
top speed of 324 km/h and the acceleration 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 10.2 seconds - confirm the
uncompromised performance of the two-seater Spyder. Thanks in part to the new
stop start technology and cylinder on demand, i.e. the deactivation of one
cylinder bank under partial load, its ECE standardized fuel consumption is a mere
12.3 liters per 100 km. The Huracan Spyder's CO2 emissions have been reduced by
14% compared to the Gallardo Spyder, despite a significant increase in
performance.
The
"Lamborghini Doppia Frizione" (LDF) 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox
shifts at lightning speed. At the heart of the transmission is a hydraulic
multi-plate coupling. The fully electronically controlled coupling, which is
actively cooled for maximum performance, can switch the torque freely between
the two axles, with perfect weight distribution of 43/57 front/rear, as in the
coupé. At the rear, a mechanical differential lock ensures powerful traction.
An
innovative cockpit dominates the interior. The 12.3-inch TFT display can be
configured in several modes and offers the driver all key information in a
virtual representation, including the optional navigation map. The displays are
razor sharp, brilliant and incredibly detailed: the virtual rev counter needle,
for instance, is recalculated 60 times a second, ensuring it flows absolutely
smoothly even under full acceleration. The TFT display is part of the new
standard-fit Lamborghini Infotainment System II.
The
driver can control the display functions via the buttons on the steering wheel:
the only other operating elements are the shift paddles. The buttons for the
soft top and the rear windshield are on the center-tunnel console as is the
start button for the V10 engine, located beneath a red cover as in a military
jet. The electric seats of the Huracan Spyder are equipped with an ECU that
ensures all movements are made without engine wall contact.
The
slender dashboard and center console contribute to the elegance of the interior
design. The beautifully crafted interior, which can be extensively
individualized, conveys refined quality and features Alcantara and fine nappa
leather. There are five trim choices - Standard, Elegante, Sportivo with
Alcantara, Sportivo bicolor with Alcantara and Sportivo bicolor with soft
leather - as well as 17 interior colors.
The
soft top is available in black, brown and red, complementing a choice of eleven
external colors. The Ad Personam individualization program offers further
alternatives, including five matt exterior colors.
Standard
fit items contribute to the luxurious lifestyle personality of the Huracan Spyder.
These include LED headlamps and rear lights, 20-inch Giano wheels and the new
multi-media Lamborghini Infotainment System II with operating terminal on the
center-tunnel console. In addition, the new options on offer reflect the
high-tech character of the new Spyder. These include the exterior Style package
and ranges through the Sensonum high end Sound system to the Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system.
The
Lamborghini Huracan Spyder LP610-4 is built to uncompromising quality in a
state-of-the-art production facility at the Automobili Lamborghini headquarters
in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Customer deliveries begin in spring 2016 at a price of € 186.450 + taxes.
