New Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder Drops Its Roof (Live Pics)

After unveiling the Huracan Evo Coupe at the beginning of the year, Lamborghini has now uncovered the new Spyder open-top derivative, which made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

It’s equipped with an electrohydraulic soft top that takes 17 seconds to lower and can be operated at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). As the driver pushes the button that opens up the cabin, two fins rise up out of the folding roof casing towards the seatbacks. Drivers can electronically open the rear window with the roof up or down, to listen to the V10 soundtrack.

As with the coupe, the supercar’s 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine has been tuned to deliver 640 PS (631 hp / 470 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque. With a dry weight of 1,542 kg (3,340 lbs), and a power-to-weight ratio of 2.41 kg/PS (5.31 lbs/PS), it hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.3 seconds and has a top speed of 325 km/h (201 mph).

In comparison, the Huracan Evo Coupe needs 2.9 seconds and 9.0 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) and 200 km/h (124 mph), respectively, and maxes out at just over 325 km/h (201 mph).

Just like its fixed-roof sibling, the new Huracan Evo Spyder features the Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) processing unit. This controls every aspect of the set-up and dynamic behavior, including the rear-wheel steering, four-wheel drive, torque vectoring and advanced traction control. It also gets the magneto rheological suspension, tuned dynamic steering and improved aerodynamics of the Coupe.

Presented in Verde Selvans, a new Lamborghini four-layer green, the Huracan Evo Spyder rides on new 20-inch Aesir rims, shod in Pirelli P Zero tires.

It can be specced in the new Evo grade in a mix of Alcantara and leather, with trim details and stitching that match the exterior shade. The carmaker is offering a new 8.4-inch infotainment system that debuted in the Coupe, as well as different styling packages including Carbon Forged Composite and Carbon Skin. Further personalization options come from the Ad Personam program.

Suggested retail prices (before taxes) kick off at €202,437 in mainland Europe, £181,781 in the United Kingdom, $287,400 in the United States, RMB 3,650,000 in China and YEN 32,827,602 in Japan.

Lamborghini will deliver the first examples of the new Huracan Evo Spyder this spring.
