Packing more power and better aerodynamics than its predecessor, the Lamborghini Huracan EVO is ready to unleash a storm on both road and track.
THE Lamborghini Huracan is nearly five years old and the only other variants are the RWD and Performante models, which come in both coupe and roadster form.
Joining this lineup is the Huracan EVO, which is considered the mid-life facelift for the model.
There are subtle but noticeable features that set the Huracan EVO apart from its predecessor.
The biggest one is the slotted rear deck lid spoiler that helps generate seven times more downforce than the standard Huracan.
A pronounced rear diffuser adds to the increased downforce. The quad exhaust pipes in the pre-facelift model have been reduced to just two.
Up front, the spoiler has a front splitter that reduces aerodynamic drag while increasing downforce.
Drag is lesser than the standard Huracan, but at the same time, downforce is considerably greater without the active aerodynamic system (ALA) found in the Performante.
Inside, the cockpit has been largely untouched, except for the addition of a new 8.4inch infotainment display.
In this day and age, connectivity of a lack thereof is a deal-breaker. So, the Huracan EVO gets Apple CarPlay with smartphone integration. Android Auto will be offered later.
Sure to excite potential owners is the EVO’s engine, which is the 640hp, naturally aspirated V10 from the Huracan Performante.
And the EVO has the same exciting soundtrack as the Performante, too, thanks to its high-flow titanium exhaust system that’s also about 10kg lighter than the unit in the Huracan.
But the Huracan EVO isn’t just about enhanced power and aerodynamics.
It is really about honing the drivetrain and package, so that it becomes “friendlier” to normal drivers.
