Lamborghini has revealed its new Huracán EVO Rear-Wheel Drive Spyder, but it had to do it online of course... The Italian carmaker says the new V10 model provides drivers with an open-air celebration of lightweight engineering, with rear-wheel drive and a specially tuned Performance Traction Control System (P-TCS).

Roof up or down, daily driving and high-performance fun are accompanied by the inimitable sound of the V10 aspirated power plant, delivering the same 610 horsepower and 560Nm of torque as the coupé version. With a 0-100kph acceleration of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 324kph, like its coupé stablemate the Spyder is an instinctive driver's car, delivering a fun-to-drive experience via hardware rather than software.

Its design optimizes the integration and function of the extremely lightweight soft top. The Spyder is a true Lamborghini with roof open and closed, sporting inimitable lines from every profile that confirm it is as dynamic in both looks and performance whether roof on or off. The Spyder's exterior lines ensure drag reduction and downforce matches that of the coupé without requiring additional aerodynamic appendages, while enhancing the rear-wheel drive car's balance and dynamism with roof both up and down.

Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini, comments: "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 electronic intrusion is minimized, while enjoying the sense of freedom and spirit of life that only open-top driving provides."

It is specially engineered as an instinctive driver's car, still producing top performance figures but focused on the pilot's skills and the set-up of the rear-wheel drive powertrain, providing unfiltered physical feedback and maximum engagement. Especially with the roof down, the driver's senses are further aroused by the sound of the V10 aspirated engine responding to the throttle during maneuvers. Image Credit: Lamborghini

The Huracán EVO Spyder's ANIMA button on the steering wheel puts the pilot in control of driving modes, with the P-TCS calibrated to suit. STRADA provides stability and safety in all conditions by minimizing rear-wheel slippage, and more proactively managing torque delivery on low-adhesion surfaces. In SPORT mode, the driver enjoys drifting fun, allowing the rear wheels to slide and skate during acceleration, with torque limited when oversteer angles increase rapidly so the driver can stabilize and control the car. CORSA mode optimizes the car's traction and agility when exiting a corner in high-performance conditions, maximizing dynamics and speed. Image Credit: Lamborghini

Its aluminium and thermoplastic resin body sits on a lightweight hybrid chassis in aluminum and carbon fiber, with a dry weight of 1,509kg and a weight-to-power ratio of 2.47 kg/hp. Front/rear weight distribution of 40/60, with double wishbone suspension with overlapped quadrilaterals and passive shock absorbers, providing optimized driver feedback. Ventilated and cross-drilled steel brakes are fitted to 19in Kari rims with specially-developed Pirelli P Zero tyres, with optional 20in rims and carbon ceramic brakes. Image Credit: Lamborghini

The Lamborghini Huracán EVO RWD Spyder continues the V10 Lamborghini's powerful design with new front and rear features, clearly differentiating it from its Huracán EVO 4WD Spyder stablemate.Characterized by a new front splitter and vertical fins within the larger, framed front air intakes characterize, the rear bumper in high gloss black incorporates a new diffuser unique to the Lamborghini Huracán EVO RWD Spyder.

The Spyder's soft-top roof stows within 17 seconds under the rear hood, even while driving up to a speed of 50kph. In a range of colour options, the soft-top perfectly complements the rear-wheel drive car's body lines and color options, while ensuring a quiet cockpit for easy conversation and entertainment with roof up or down. With soft top both up and down the driver can also electronically open the rear window, which functions as a windshield when up and highlights the V10 engine's unique sound when down. Two removable lateral wind shields dampen lateral aerodynamic noise in the cabin, permitting conversations even at high speeds. Image Credit: Lamborghini
