The Lamborghini Huracan Performante could soon be offered with a soft top, after a prototype of such a model was spotted by our spy photographers recently. Despite the swirly camouflage applied to the car’s body, there’s no denying that the test mule heavily resembles the hardtop from nearly every angle (discounting the roof section).
Among the prominent details visible for all to see are the highly angular front bumper and spoiler, which should feature the same active aerodynamics system, Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA), where two front flaps open and close to optimise air flow for maximum downforce.
Other carried over parts from the hardtop include the large rear wing, diffuser element and raised exhaust exits. The big change takes place at the car’s rear deck, which loses the glass engine cover in favour of an opaque cover as well as a hard tonneau cover for the cloth top. This could make the Spyder version weigh a tad bit more than the hardtop, which is currently 40 kg lighter than the standard Huracan.
Performance wise, a 5.2 litre naturally-aspirated, direct-injected V10 will likely be another familiar feature on the Spyder, producing 640 hp at 8,000 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, 30 hp and 40 Nm more than the standard car. The new roof setup may or may not result in a different zero to 100 km/h time compared to the hardtop that is capable of achieving the target in just 2.9 seconds.

Since no one have commented, I’ll take this opportunity to BASH Lambo. What is so special about a Lambo or in this case a Huracan Spyder.
With “only” 640 hp at 8,000 rpm, where can U find enuff space 2 utilized the power ?? What is worst than Not able to use all the power ?! U cannot open up the top as some will claim the smoke from buses will intoxicate U.
The worst part is a Myvi/Iriz may actually be faster in our city during office hours where the jams will frustrate the driver.
In conclusion, this Lambo is Not for anyone or everyday use. It is for a select few with extremely deep pocket who only want to take a blast on a deserted/less vehicles road up some resorts high up the mountains or night cruse to nowhere.
