When pushed on an F1 track, the new Lamborghini Huracán Evo comes through with flying colours

WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT if there was a magic pill you could take that would instantly give you phenomenal driving skills? As it turns out, there is such a panacea, and it comes in the form of Lamborghini’s brand-new Huracán Evo, which will soon replace the Huracán LP610-4 that’s been around since 2014.

Mere mortals are able to have the V10 supercar dancing at the limits of adhesion, and the key ingredient in the recipe is the addition of ‘predictive logic’ software (the Huracán Evo is the first Lambo to feature this) that anticipates what you’re trying to do and is already several steps ahead of you in terms of setting the car up for what’s about to transpire.

The Huracán Evo is a mid-cycle upgrade rather than an all-new car, but fresh life has been breathed into Lambo’s ‘entry-level’ supercar via the predictive software, plus the installation of four-wheel steering and the same uprated V10 that features in the hardcore Huracán Performante.

Our maiden thrash of the Huracán Evo is at the Bahrain International Circuit, a 5.4km track that’s hosted a round of the F1 championship every year since 2004. Its owing, undulating layout provides a suitable playground to unleash the full potential of the revamped Lambo, and the key takeaway from the track-attack session is that the Evo is fast, furious and fun – much more so its predecessor was.
