LAMBO’S REAR-DRIVE BABY OFFERS OLD-SCHOOL DYNAMICS THAT NEED TO BE TAMED. AND ONE HELL OF AN ENGINE
BEN BARRY
BULL RUSH

LOW IN THE SEAT, bottom of the dashboard stretched far out ahead, I’m ripping over the Pennine Hills that run north-south towards the top of England like a spine, a huge hunk of engine out back helping adjust attitude and smear number 11s over the road. There are great peals of V10 thunder on every downshift. It’s pre-lockdown in the United Kingdom, the day before they’ll close the pubs. For a few more hours, driving for the sake of driving is still okay, and I’ve got my hands on a supercar worthy of the last-ever gallon of fuel: the new Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD.

It is a last gasp of naturally aspirated, V10, rear-wheel-drive awesomeness, the better-to-burn-out-than-fade-away supercar you’d gun ’til the last drips of 98 sputtered through its fuel lines and then abandon with the melancholic euphoria of knowing no-one, anywhere, could ever do that again. Or at least until we’re told it’s safe to leave home again. Time’s ticking. Where to go? Who to see?

I point the Lambo north, back home to the Lake District, to see family at a visiting-hours distance, to run it hard over the roads I drove when I first got my licence, and to explore those that weren’t much further afield but that I never quite reached.
