The Lamborghini Huracan made its public debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. It replaced the Gallardo, the company’s best-selling model as of 2016, in the lineup and became Lambo’s entry-level supercar. Slightly longer and wider than its predecessor, the Huracan employs a different styling language compared to the Huracan, featuring lines derived from the range-topping Aventador. The design include sharper cues, more pronounced side skirts, and a more aggressive stance overall. The cabin has been redesigned to a modern appearance with a flat dashboard and a six-sided instrument cluster that houses a massive, 12.3-inch TFT screen. Much like its predecessor, it comes with the finest materials for the upholstery and aluminum and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, the 5.2-liter V-10 was updated for more horsepower and improved fuel economy.
Two years have passed since the Huracan was unleashed on public roads and the supercar is already highly popular, selling more than 3,000 units since its introduction. The Huracan also spawned a Spyder model, as well as race-spec Super Trofeo and GT3 models. And, Lambo is still working on new iterations, with a higher-performance Superleggera being readied for production as we speak. Also, a recently applied trademark for the Huracan Performante name suggests that a lighter, more powerful version of the Spyder is also in the works, and it’s this specific model we’ll be discussing in the speculative review below.
The news that Lambo may be working on a Performante variant of the Huracan Spyder is by no means surprising and the name is far from new. It was first used on the Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante, essentially a convertible version of the Gallardo Superleggera. The high-performance drop-top was introduced in 2011 and remained in production until the Gallardo was phased out in 2013. Granted, it’s a bit early for a Huracan Spyder Performante given that the Gallardo version arrived eight years after the supercar’s debut, but the demand for special cars is so big right now that Lamborghini will most definitely bring it out sooner. I expect it to break cover by the end of 2018.
