The Huracan EVO RWD Spyder is about 120 kg heavier than the Coupe due to structural reinforcements and the soft-top's hydraulic mechanism
The Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD Spyder looks identical to the coupe. Both models get notable styling differences over the AWD version to tell them apart. This includes a new front splitter, bespoke rear diffuser and a new rear bumper. The clean lines ensure to minimise drag and give the Spyder a dynamic appearance. The open-top also carries over the All-Wheel-Drive model's twin buttress design at the rear with a unique diffuser that aids in improving aerodynamic efficiency and downforce.
Compared to the Coupe, the Huracan EVO RWD Spyder is about 120 kg heavier due to the structural enhancements and the hydraulic system for the retractable roof mechanism. The soft-top can be raised or lowered in just 17 seconds at speeds of up to 50 kmph. The car uses a hybrid chassis made of aluminium and carbon fibre that helps keep the weight in check at 1509 kg (dry). The Huracan also gets Lamborghini's Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva active aerodynamic tech that allows the car to switch between maximum downforce and low drag setups by adjusting flaps at the front and rear.
The Huracan EVO RWD Spyder gets the ANIMA button on the steering wheel that lets you select between Strada, Sport and Corsa
The cabin on the Huracán EVO Spyder remains identical to the coupe. The multi-function steering wheel lets you select between different driving modes - Strada, Corsa and Sport. It also gets an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa voice recognition.
With respect to the performance, the Huracán EVO RWD Spyder draws power from the absolutely manic 5.2-litre, naturally-aspirated V10 petrol engine that develops 602 bhp and 560 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Compared to its All-Wheel-Drive sibling, the Spyder drops about 28 horses and 40 Nm. The Spyder sprints from 0-100 kmph in 3.5 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds slower than the RWD Coupe version, while the top speed is rated at 324 kmph. The driver can also raise or lower the rear windscreen on the open-top offering that lets you enjoy that V10 symphony in the cabin.

The Huracan EVO RWD Spyder comes with the specially tuned Performance Traction Control System (P-TCS) for consistent torque delivery and traction with 30 per cent oversteer enhancement and 20 per cent more power when exiting corners. Lamborghini says the new set-up helps improve the car's dynamics even better under hard cornering.
The twin-buttress design language enhances downforce with the rear profile simply a work of art
The Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD Spyder is more expensive than the RWD Coupe that was introduced in India last year. However, it's substantially more affordable than the AWD Spyder that starts well over the Rs. 4.01 crore mark. Customers do have the option to configure the car for cosmetics, features and performance upgrades right from the factory. Quite the package we must for those who like open-top motoring.
