Lamborghini has unveiled a new variant of the Huracán at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Called the Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder, the new convertible combines the power and performance of the coupé with the emotion of open-air driving.
“The Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder is the next chapter in the success story of the naturally aspirated V10 Huracán, and continues a Lamborghini tradition of open air motoring,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “The Huracán Spyder combines the innovation, performance and appeal of the Huracán coupé, with new technologies and an added emotional dimension. Its predecessor, the Gallardo Spyder, was the best-selling open top model in Lamborghini’s history: we expect the Huracán Spyder to exceed its predecessor in every way.”
Boasting a chassis that is 40% stiffer than the Gallardo Spyder, the new Huracán Spyder tips the scale at 1,542 kg, which gives the new convertible a power-to-weight ratio of 2.53 kg per hp. The chassis also features a mix of aluminium and carbon fibre, with the occupant cell featuring extensive carbon fibre usage.
The new soft top of the Huracán Spyder is available in three different colors, namely black, brown and red. Even with the soft top up, the body lines of the Spyder is different from the hard top. It takes just 17 seconds for the new electrohydraulic, lightweight soft top to open up to a driving speed of 50 km/h. Now, the driver can lower the rear window to amplify the unique engine note of the Spyder.
Speaking of engine note, the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder features the same 5.2-litre V10 as the hard top Huracán, boasting 610 hp at 8,250 rpm and 560 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The Spyder is able to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, and top speed is a mouth-watering 324 km/h. Despite the engine’s large capacity, its ECE standardized fuel consumption is a jsut 12.3 L/100 km, thanks to the new stop start technology and cylinder on demand feature.
The Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder is priced at 186,450 Euros (about RM908,585 before tax) and customers can expect to receive their cars in spring 2016.
