When we compare the regular model with the Huracan Spyder, the only difference is in the stylish soft-top retraceable roof that opens in 17 seconds at a speed of up tp 50kmph. In addition to this, it reduces the height of car to just 1.18 meters, 4.46 meters in length and 1.92 meters in width, making it light with a dry weight of only 1,542 kg & makes it 120kg heavier than the Huracan coupe. When the roof is folded down, two fins rise from the rear of the seats, improving aerodynamics and aiding in airflow to the engine compartment. The soft top comes in different colour options — black, brown and red. Apart from this & some trim options, rest of the car remains the same carrying all those muscular character lines and the imposing stance of the Huracan family. Even the alloy wheel design is same as the one seen in the regular Huracan. The front end comes with the same pointy nose with W-shaped LED daytime running lights and the massive air intakes on the front bumper and the rear overhangs.
The Spyder LP610–4 is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 motor that spits out an impressive 610PS at 8,250rpm and generates a meaty 560Nm at 6,500rpm. Whipping those horses is a 7-speed dual clutch transmission which sends power to all four-wheels. The Huracan Spyder rides on Pirelli Pzero 245/30 R20 tyres – front and Pirelli Pzero 305/30 R20 – rear. Lamborghini claims that the Huracan Spyder can reach a top whack of 324kmph and will sprint from 0-100kmph in 3.4 seconds. It also comes with three driving modes — Strada, Sport and Corsa — just like the Huracan coupe. The new super car also features “Cylinder on demand” — cylinder deactivation technology — in combination with a stop-and-start system for lower CO2 emissions.
