The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder may have significantly less powerful than the McLaren 720S Spider and Ferrari F8 Spider, but it still looks very appealing.
Unlike its rivals, the Huracan Spyder (and its Coupe counterpart) is powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 which in rear-wheel drive form, as with this Huracan, delivers 571 HP and 398 lb-ft (539 Nm) of torque. It has a claimed top speed of 198 mph (319 km/h) and the owner of a gorgeous gloss black decided to see if he could hit that figure.
Tough Choice: Would You Get Lambo’s New Huracan Spyder With RWD Or AWD?
Unleashed on the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds, the Italian supercar was driven through to an impressive 196.4 mph (316.1 km/h) in 2.3 miles (3.7 km). With a slightly longer stretch of pavement, we think the Huracan could have potentially climbed up to 198 mph, or perhaps even a little more.
As impressive as the Huracan Spyder RWD in question is, it is not the most potent droptop variant of the company’s mid-engined V10 engine. This title belongs to the Huracan Evo Spyder that was ntroduced earlier this year, has had its 5.2-liter V10 uprated to 631 hp and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque and can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.1 seconds as well as a top speed of 201 mph (325 km/h).
Prior to the Huracan Evo Spyder being introduced, the range was topped out by the limited-run Huracan Performante Spyder with the same engine, but fitted with a plethora of bolder aerodynamic components.
