The RWD Huracan Spyder Is Your New Favourite 200mph Drop-Top
In the age of turbos and AWD, it’s cool to see that the likes of Lamborghini are still producing cars for bona fide car lovers who appreciate RWD, natural aspiration and a near-200mph top speed. That’s exactly why you’ll like the new Huracan Spyder as much as we do.
The headline stats include 572bhp at 8000rpm from its unspoilt 5.2-litre V10, a top speed of 198mph (we’ll call it 200mph with a tail wind) and a dry weight of 1509kg (that makes it 33kg lighter than the 610-4 Huracan Spyder, but 120kg heavier than coupe 580-2). That weight is distributed 40/60 per cent front and rear respectively.
Thanks to its seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, It’ll also launch from 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds. For those interested in the nitty gritty, the roof can be opened and closed in 17 seconds at speeds up to 50kph/31mph.
So what else is new? The front of the car has been redesigned with larger front air intakes that direct air for increased downforce and the Spyder also sits on Pirelli P Zero tyres - wrapped around 19-inch rims - that have been designed especially for the car.
As for the price, there’s no mention as yet, but we’re told that it’ll be placed between the two and four-wheel drive coupe models. The new Huracan Spyder goes on sale in January 2017.

Oooh
But it isn’t. Because I’d have the AWD one. Sorry.
Oh ffs, people. Raregliscor is just sharing his opinions, no need for downvoting.
I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I don’t really like Lambos. They all look the same to me.
This huracan wouldnt really be too good to drive in a hurricane
The Huracan is gonna make a Hurricane son
oh boy. here com the fanboys
Wasn’t this released like a year ago?
1 year ago they released the 610-4
This is 580-2
Somehow going 200 mph in a convertible doesn’t seem appealing to me.
“We’re going 200 mph!”
“What?”
“Did you say something?”
“WHAT?”
“WERE YOU TALKING?”
“I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”
“WHAT?”
At least, that’s the impression of someone who’s trying to convince themselves that they don’t need a supercar…
I wouldn’t even want to hear what my passenger has to say, when I can listen to that V10 instead!
Just two problems:
It’s RWD
It’s spyder
I’ll stick with the Huracan LP610-4
Judging by your profile pic, I’ll accept the RWD comment.
Chris Harris should revi - aaaaand it’s sideways already.
Chris doesn’t review Lamborghinis unfortunatelly.
I have been dreaming of this moment!!
