Lamborghini Huracan Spyder gets Novitec Torado’s touch – twin-supercharged V10 with 860 hp/960 Nm

Need a little more pep from your Lamborghini Huracan Spyder? Well, the team over at Novitec Torado may have just what you need with its range of enhancements for the ten-cylinder supercar. The company had previously worked its magic on the hardtop version of the Huracan, which turned out to be quite a beastly creation.

In similar fashion, the Novitec treatment starts with the visuals, where the Huracan Spyder gets a full carbon-fibre aero kit. The components installed here include a new front splitter, rocker panels, side intakes, engine cover, rear diffuser, tail lamp mouldings and lip spoiler (can be swapped for a rear wing). These carbon pieces aren’t just for show either, as they have been properly tested in wind tunnel for a reason.

New wheels are also part of the visual upgrade, with tailor-made, three-piece NL1 alloys finding their way onto the Huracan Spyder. The ones at the front measure 20 inches, while those at the rear span 21-inches, with Pirelli P-Zero tyres wrapped around them (245/30 ZR20 front and 325/25 ZR21 rear). Chassis mods include Novitec Torado springs that lowers the car’s ride height by 35 mm, with height-adjustable coilover suspension available soon after.

Of course, power upgrades are to be expected but it is something that will have to wait, as the company is currently working on fitting a pair of superchargers to the Huracan Spyder’s 5.2 litre V10 engine. If all goes according to plan, customers will have 860 hp and 960 Nm of torque at their disposal, compared to the “dismal” 602 hp and 560 Nm from the stock motor.

For those who can’t wait and require any sort of powertrain modification there and then, the company’s sport exhaust system is available now. Made from Inconel or regular stainless steel, the exhaust setup is claimed to “produce a much more potent exhaust note,” and “optimise the power delivery.” However, Novitec did not disclose if there’s any power to be gained from the latter. Tempting?

    I rather buy the new Proton Saga than this car. At least, I can show Jib that I am patriotic and love my country
