The Italian supercar maker Lamborghini launched the all-wheel drive Huracan last year, and it was just a matter of time until a rear-wheel drive variant would emerge on the market. The latter one promises better driving experience.
The good news is that the Huracan EVO RWD will be available in Europe and the US as well. On the Old Continent, the model will cost at least 159,443 euros, while in the US, customers will be able to grab it at $208,571. On both continents it will arrive in the second quarter of 2020.
As you probably know already, the new Huracan EVO is the embodiment of the best parts of all Lamborghinis over the last years. It abounds in the latest technologies and packs impressive performance under the hood. Speaking of which, Stefano Domenicali, CEO at Lamborghini, has also declared:
“The Huracan EVO RWD performance relies on the harmony between man and machine: driving skills and the Huracán EVO’s RWD mechanics deliver perfectly balanced dynamics, physical feedback and a pure performance. The Huracan EVO RWD enhances the V10 Huracan line-up with a model appealing to brand newcomers as well as those seeking sublime driving fun.”
Amongst the top-notch features we should mention the new Performance Traction Control System (P-TCS), Lamborghini Dynamic Steering with variable ratio, and plenty of gadgets inside the cabin. These include the brand-new Lamborghini 8.4-inch touch-screen media interface with Apple CarPlay and internet access. All combined with high-quality materials on the dash fascia or seats.
At the exterior, the Lamborghini EVO RWD looks a bit different from its AWD sibling, featuring new front and rear bumper bars, along with larger intakes, new front splitter or gloss black rear diffuser section. The new features are complemented by a set of 19-inch Kari alloy wheels wrapped with Pirelly P Zero tyre, measuring 245/35 and 305/35 front and rear, respectively. However, you can also opt for the 20-inch rims as well.
Under the hood, the Lamborghini EVO RWD features the same 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine, however it is slightly detuned than the AWD sibling. This means 449KW and 560 Nm of torque, being sent to the wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch auto. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is done in 3.3 seconds, while the 0 to 200 km/h run is done in 9.3 seconds.
Compared with the AWD version, the RWD is a tad slower. The former runs the same 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, respectively 9.0 seconds from 0 to 200 km/h. Still taking about the AWD variant, the same 5.2-liter naturally V10 engine is found, however it provides more power – whopping 470 kW and 600 Nm of torque, available at 6,500 rpm.
As a reminder, the Lamborghini Huracan EVO AWD made its worldwide debut early last year, and is considered an improved evolution of the Lamborgini V10 supercar, hence the “EVO” tag. It comprises technology at its best, such as the Lamborghini Piattaforma Inerziale 2.0, which the company considers the car`s giant nervous system. It is actually an array of gyroscope senzors and accelerometers that monitor the car`s driving systems to optimize performance and increase driving experience.
