Lamborghini announces the Huracán EVO Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD):
a visceral driving machine, delivering 610 hp (449 kW) of power at
8,000 rpm and 560 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm to a lightweight car with
rear-wheel drive and dynamic steering for maximum driving fun. Weighing
just 1,389 kg, the Huracán EVO RWD has a top speed of 325 km/h
and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. Despite its top-figure
capabilities, the Huracán EVO RWD is not focused on straight-line
speeds or lap records: with a unique new design, the Huracán
EVO RWD proclaims its designation as an instinctive driver's car.
"The
Huracán EVO rear-wheel drive puts the car in the driver's hands:
the driving experience is delivered by the hardware," says Stefano
Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini.
"This car reminds the driver of Lamborghini's pure engineering
origins: the driver is at the center of the Huracán EVO RWD's
performance, with unfiltered feedback and an emotive and more engaging
driving experience controlled by the pilot. The Huracán EVO
RWD performance relies on the harmony between man and machine: driving
skills and the Huracán EVO's RWD mechanics deliver perfectly
balanced dynamics, physical feedback and a pure performance. The Huracán
EVO RWD enhances the V10 Huracán line-up with a model appealing
to brand newcomers as well as those seeking sublime driving fun."
Engineered
for driving fun
The
V10 engine delivers more than just power to the rear-wheel drive set-up:
the sound of the naturally aspirated power plant combines with the
specially tuned traction control system to deliver the most emotive,
fun-to-drive experience in both dry and wet conditions, and even snow.The
new Performance Traction Control System (P-TCS) is calibrated specifically
for the rear-wheel drive Huracán EVO, delivering torque even
during the phase where the car is realigning following drifting or
side-slipping.
Whereas
a 'normal' traction control system delivers a sharp decoupling, waiting
for a car to become completely stable before delivering torque again,
the P-TCS car delivers torque in advance, avoiding a harsh torque
cut and assuring better traction when exiting a corner.
The P-TCS intervention is calibrated according to the Huracán
EVO RWD's driving modes, selected via the steering wheel's ANIMA button
(Adaptive Network Intelligent Management: 'soul' in Italian). In STRADA,
the P-TCS minimizes rear wheel slippage to ensure stability and safety
in all conditions: with a more proactive strategy P-TCS manages torque
delivery on low-adhesion surfaces.
In SPORT mode, the P-TCS maximizes the fun-to-drive experience: the
rear wheels can slide and skate during acceleration, for easy drifting
fun without compromising safety. The system recognizes conditions
where the angle of oversteer increases rapidly and limits torque delivery
to the rear wheels, allowing the driver to perfectly control and stabilize
the car.
In
CORSA, the P-TCS is calibrated to achieve the rear-wheel slip that
optimizes the car's traction and agility when exiting a corner, allowing
the driver to maximize performance. The P-TCS improves smoothness
of intervention by 30% compared to the previous Huracán RWD
model; improves corner-exit traction by 20% and enhances oversteer
by 30%.
The
Huracán EVO RWD's hybrid chassis integrates lightweight aluminum
and carbon fiber with an aluminum and thermoplastic resin body, with
a total dry weight of 1,389 kg giving a weight-to-power ratio of 2.28
kg/hp. With front/rear weight distribution of 40/60, the Huracán
EVO RWD sits on double wishbone suspension with overlapped quadrilaterals
and passive shock absorbers. The electro-mechanical, servo-assisted
Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) is tuned specifically for the Huracán
EVO RWD, ensuring maximum feedback. The seven-speed dual clutch gearbox
ensures the fastest gear changes, with launch control for maximum
acceleration from a standing start. The 19" Kari rims with specially-developed
Pirelli P Zero tires are fitted with ventilated and cross-drilled
steel brakes. As an option 20" rims and carbo-ceramic brakes
are available.
Fresh
design for pure performance
The
Huracán EVO RWD continues the V10 Lamborghini's powerful design
with new front and rear features, clearly differentiating it from
its Huracán EVO 4WD stablemate.
The
Huracán EVO RWD is characterized by a sculpted, purposeful
persona, complemented by a new front splitter and vertical fins within
the larger, framed front air intakes. The rear bumper in high gloss
black incorporates a new diffuser unique to the Huracán EVO
RWD.
Inside, the cockpit features a HMI 8.4" touchscreen in the center
console of the car, controlling all aspects of the car's functions
as well as managing full connectivity such as telephone calls, internet
access, and including Apple CarPlay.
Both
inside and out, Lamborghini's Ad Personam program provides unsurpassed
options for colorand trim personalization, allowing owners of the
Huracán EVO RWD to impose their individual style and personality
on their new Lamborghini driving machine. In order to emphasize the
shape of the car the new color, Giallo Belenus (yellow), has been
developed together with a dedicated leather and Alcantara color for
the interior trim, matching the new exterior paint.
