A year on from the admission of the re-styled and re-engineered Huracan EVO and Lamborghini has clearly presented a new rear-wheel drive derivative, appropriately called the Huracan EVO Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD).
Not the dandiest of names, abnormally for an Italian supercar, but Lamborghini promises to “put the disciplinarian at the centermost of the active experience”, abundant like its predecessors, the 2009 Gallardo LP 550-2 that re-introduced RWD to Lamborghini’s ambit afterwards a decade or so, and the aboriginal Huracan afore it.
“The Huracán EVO rear-wheel drive puts the car in the driver’s hands: the active acquaintance is delivered by the hardware,” says Lamborghini CEO, Stefano Domenicali. “This car reminds the disciplinarian of Lamborghini’s authentic engineering origins: the disciplinarian is at the centermost of the Huracán EVO RWD’s performance, with unfiltered acknowledgment and an affecting and added agreeable active acquaintance controlled by the pilot.”

Tell me about the powertrain
Power comes from a de-tuned adaptation of the all-wheel drive Huracan EVO’s, mid-mounted and Audi-built, 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10. It produces a hardly lower 602 HP (610 PS / 449 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm. That compares to the AWD model’s 631 HP 9640 PS / 471 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). As with the former, it’s alone accessible with a seven-speed dual-clutch manual with barrage ascendancy function.
However, less, sometimes agency more, and by accomplishing abroad with the accepted car’s four-wheel drive arrangement as able-bodied as four-wheel council and four-wheel torque vectoring systems, the RWD archetypal drops 33 kg (73 lbs) belief in at 1,389 kg (3,062 lbs) after fluids, against the AWD car’s 1,422 kg (3,135 lbs) dry weight.
As you may suspect, it additionally after-effects in bargain absorption authoritative it a beard slower than the all-wheel drive Huracan acute 0.4 sec added for the 0-62 mph (100km/h) dart at 3.3 sec and 0.3 sec added for the 0-124 mph (200km/h) run at 9.3 sec. On the ablaze side, the RWD Huracan EVO maintains the aforementioned top acceleration of 202 mph (325 km/h) as the AWD version.
What abroad is different?
While slower than the Huracan EVO AWD, Lamborghini says the RWD car has been engineered to action a added fun-to-drive (read beneath safe in amateur hands) acquaintance in both dry and wet conditions. Abundant of that has been accomplished through the new Achievement Absorption Ascendancy Arrangement (P-TCS) calibrated accurately for the rear-wheel drive EVO, carrying torque alike back the car is realigning afterward afloat or side-slipping.
“Whereas a ‘normal’ absorption ascendancy arrangement delivers a aciculate decoupling, cat-and-mouse for a car to become absolutely abiding afore carrying torque again, the P-TCS car delivers torque in advance, alienated a acrid torque cut and acceptable bigger absorption back departure a corner,” says Lamborghini.

The arrangement offers three accustomed active modes called through a council caster button, alpha with the added careful ‘STRADA’ that minimizes rear caster slippage. Moving on to ‘SPORT’ allows for added blooper and beyond accelerate angles while ‘CORSA’ is calibrated to accomplish the rear-wheel blooper that optimizes the car’s absorption and activity back departure a corner.
Lamborghini claims that the redesigned P-TCS improves accuracy of action by 30% compared to the antecedent Huracán RWD model, corner-exit absorption by 20% and enhances oversteer by 30%.
The RWD archetypal that has a front/rear weight administration of 40/60 comes with animate springs and hydraulic dampers, but the “MagneRide” electromagnetic dampers are accessible as an advantage too.
How can you acquaint it afar from the AWD Huracan EVO?
The Italians fabricated some accessory architecture tweaks to differentiate it from the all-wheel drive auto including a new advanced splitter, vertical fins aural the larger, affected advanced air intakes, and a high-gloss rear bonanza accumulation a new diffuser. The RWD archetypal rides on 19-inch Kari rims captivated in specially-developed Pirelli P Zero tires accoutrement aerial and cross-drilled animate brakes, while as an option, 20-inch rims and carbo-ceramic brakes are available.
Ok, so what will it amount me?
A well-equipped Alfa Romeo Stelvio beneath than the accepted AWD Huracan EVO in the States, as prices for the RWD archetypal alpha at $208,571 compared to the former’s $261,274 MSRP. In the UK, the RWD Huracan EVO is listed at £137,000 or about £28,000 beneath than the AWD model.
First chump deliveries of the Huracan EVO RWD are set to activate in bounce this year.
