Incorporating the same updated exterior as the coupe and equipped with the Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) vehicle dynamics system that controls aspects such as the steering, Magneto-Rheological suspension and rear-wheel steering, the Spyder further comes with the three mode (Strada, Sport and Corsa) ANIMA drive mode selector and Lamborghini’s Dynamic Steering system aimed at providing better feedback.
Riding as standard on 20-inch Aesir alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli PZero rubber, the Spyder’s biggest departure from the coupe is, of course, the electrically folding soft-top that can be opened and closed in 17 seconds at speeds up to 50km/h. Unique to the drop-top though is an opening rear window claimed to function as a windscreen to better amplify the sound of the normally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine.
Aside from the roof, the Spyder’s interior is identical to that of the coupe in that it gets the new 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a reverse camera and Apple CarPlay, and an extensive array of customisable trim pieces such as carbon fibre and aluminium as per Lamborghini’s Ad Personam personalisation programme.
Available in a bespoke launch colour called Verde Selvans consisting of four-layers of green paint, the aforementioned V10 motor has been carried over and once again produces 470kW/600Nm. Despite tipping the scales at 1 542kg, 120kg more than the coupe, Lamborghini claims that the Spyder will go from 0-100km/h in 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 325km/h.
Claimed to dispatch the 0-200km/h mark in 9.3 seconds, the Spyder sends its amount of twist to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Like its fixed-roof sibling, the Spyder is outfitted as standard with carbon ceramic brakes, which allows it to fully stop from 100km/h in 32.2m.
On sale during the European spring, the Huracan Evo Spyder will retail from £181 781 (R3 344 588) in the United Kingdom, a price bump of £16 525 (R304 043) over the coupe.
