Huracán EVO RWD Spyder: Lamborghini's Case for the Unfiltered V10 Convertible
A virtual debut for the most driver-focused open-top Huracán yet.
Lamborghini chose to reveal the Huracán EVO Rear-Wheel Drive Spyder not at a motor show or a coastal press launch, but through an augmented reality experience on lamborghini.com.
One of the last naturally aspirated V10 convertibles
The RWD Spyder represents one of the last opportunities to experience a large-displacement, naturally aspirated Lamborghini engine in its most exposed, unfiltered form.
Hardware over software
The AWD Huracán EVO uses its front axle and more complex electronics to mask the limits of grip, but the RWD variant lets the driver find those limits, feel them through the seat and steering column, and manage them personally.
The philosophical core of the RWD proposition
The willingness to let the driver explore the edge of grip, rather than electronically papering over it, is the philosophical core of the entire RWD proposition, and the open roof only intensifies the sensation.
Coupe-matching aero, no extra appendages
Lamborghini says the Spyder's exterior lines deliver drag reduction and downforce matching the coupe without additional aerodynamic appendages, a meaningful claim for a convertible where the disrupted roofline typically compromises airflow management.
Sensory connection over outright grip
Lamborghini confirmed a suggested retail price of USD 229,428 before taxes in the United States, positioning the RWD Spyder below the AWD variant with less weight, lower cost, and deliberately less electronic sophistication.
610 hp, 3.5 seconds, 324 km/h
The 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 produces 610 hp and 560 Nm of torque, reaches 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and tops out at 324 km/h, matching the RWD coupe exactly.
Subtraction as the design principle
The real argument for this car was never about adding power — it was about subtracting everything between the driver's ears and the engine's intake trumpets, and then removing the roof for good measure.
P-TCS in SPORT mode: controlled oversteer
SPORT mode allows the rear to slide during acceleration, limiting torque only when oversteer angles increase too quickly, giving the driver room to play while keeping a safety net in place.
Visual separation from the AWD sibling
A new front splitter and vertical fins within larger, framed front air intakes distinguish the RWD variant visually from its AWD sibling, while a unique rear diffuser integrated into a high-gloss black rear bumper completes the separation.
Remembered for what it refused to add
As Lamborghini's lineup transitions toward hybrid power, the naturally aspirated, rear-wheel-drive Spyder looks increasingly like a car that will be remembered for what it refused to add.
