The Lamborghini Huracan LP580-2 (RWD) Spyder is now
on sale in India, priced at INR 3.45 crore (ex-showroom).
Introduced at the 2016 LA Auto Show, the Lamborghini
Huracan RWD Spyder, as its name suggests, is the rear-wheel drive variant of
the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder LP610-4 (4WD). The RWD version features a
sightly distinct front and rear fascia that sets it apart from the 4WD variant.
The Lamborghini Huracan RWD Spyder has new front air
intakes that direct cooling air and headwind to increase down pressure on the
front axle, 19-inch Kari wheels shod with exclusively developed Pirelli PZero
tyres and specially contoured steel brakes with aluminium aluminum brake disc
pots which contribute in weight reduction and improved cooling. The springs and
anti-roll bars have been optimised for two-wheel drive.
The Lamborghini Huracan RWD Spyder packs the same
5.2-litre V10 petrol engine that churns out 580 hp at 8,000 rpm
and 540 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. 75% of torque becomes available at just
1,000 rpm. The naturally aspirated engine, which is shared with the Audi R8, is
linked to the Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) 7-speed dual clutch
transmission.
With a dry weight of 1,509 kg, the Lamborghini
Huracan RWD Spyder is 33 kg lighter than the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder (4WD).
The RWD variant takes 3.6 seconds to reach from 0-100 km/h – 0.2 seconds more
than the 4WD variant, and maxes out at 319 km/h – 5 km/h slower than the 4WD variant.
