Lamborghini has now uncovered the new Huracan Evo Spyder open-top
derivative, which made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. It’s equipped with an electrohydraulic
soft top that takes 17 seconds to lower and can be operated at speeds of up to
50 km/h. As the driver pushes the button that opens up the cabin, two
fins rise up out of the folding roof casing towards the seatbacks. Drivers can electronically
open the rear window with the roof up or down, to listen to the V10 soundtrack.
As with the coupe, the supercar’s 5.2-liter
naturally aspirated V10 engine has been tuned to deliver 640 PS and 600 Nm of torque. With a dry weight of 1,542 kg, and a power-to-weight ratio of 2.41 kg/PS, it hits 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h in 9.3 seconds and has a top speed
of 325 km/h.
In comparison, the Huracan Evo Coupe needs 2.9
seconds and 9.0 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h and 200 km/h and maxes out at just over 325 km/h. Just like its fixed-roof sibling,
the new Huracan Evo Spyder features the Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata
(LDVI) processing unit. This controls every aspect of the set-up and dynamic
behavior, including the rear-wheel steering, four-wheel drive, torque vectoring
and advanced traction control. It also gets the magneto rheological suspension,
tuned dynamic steering and improved aerodynamics of the Coupe.
Presented in Verde Selvans, a new Lamborghini
four-layer green, the Huracan Evo Spyder rides on new 20-inch Aesir rims, shod
in Pirelli P Zero tires. It can be specced in the new Evo grade in a mix of Alcantara and
leather, with trim details and stitching that match the exterior shade. The
carmaker is offering a new 8.4-inch infotainment system that debuted in the
Coupe, as well as different styling packages including Carbon Forged Composite
and Carbon Skin. Further personalization options come from the Ad Personam
program.
Suggested retail prices (before taxes) kick off at
€ 202,437 in mainland Europe, £181,781 in the United Kingdom, US$ 287,400 in the
United States, RMB 3,650,000 in China and YEN 32,827,602 in Japan. Lamborghini will deliver the
