LAMBORGHINIHuracan Performante Spyder 2018 - Present

　　Lamborghini came with the open-top version of the Huracan Pefromante in 2018, one year after introducing the coupe model at the Geneva Motor Show.

　　The Italian automaker was already known for creating some of the fastest vehicles on the market. Even the Huracan, which was the access model in the Lamborghini’s lineup, could get to 60 mph (97 kph) from a dig in less than three seconds. The Performante was the race-oriented version of it and could finish the same test in less than three seconds. But it wasn’t only about the straight-line acceleration. It was also about its ability to corner thanks to its active aerodynamics system and the magnetorheological dampers. Unlike the coupe, the open-top version, the Huracan Performante Spyder was created to add more joy to those who drove it around race tracks and on public roads. The car carried over most of the elements that made its brother so good, and in the end, it lost its roof for a wind-in-the-hair feeling. Nevertheless, it helped its occupants hear the engine’s music better.

　　At the front, the 2018 Huracan Performante Spyder carried over most elements from its coupe sibling, not from any other open-top version of the Huracan. It featured a broad, A-shaped center air intake in the spoiler with an integrated electric motor into the carbon fiber frame that adjusted a set of flaps that increased downforce. In addition, on the sides, the automaker installed the same inward-tilted scoops that cooled the front brakes.

　　From its profile, the car boasted its large, 20-inch light-alloy wheels on both axles. Its A-pillars that supported the raked windshield were black, matching the color of the door mirror caps. Furthermore, Lamborghini used the same shade to paint the side sills and the lid that covered the retractable roof behind the seats. On the deck, the automaker installed a big carbon fiber wing that increased downforce at higher speeds. Finally, on the rear fascia, the Huracan Performante Spyder featured a broad diffuser under the bumper and two exhausts above it in the center section. A honeycomb mesh covered the area between and underneath the taillights that sported the Y-shaped LED lights.

　　Lamborghini installed a pair of sports seats inside the cockpit with high bolstered areas and integrated headrests. The contrasting stitching on them and the leather upholstery confirmed the car’s luxurious feeling, even though it was mostly made for fast laps. Fronting the driver was a flat-bottom steering wheel where Lamborghini installed the turn-signal button on the left spoke and the controls for wipers on the right one. On the lower one, there was a red switch that controlled the driving modes: Strada, Sport, Corsa (Street, Sport, Race).

　　The Huracan Performante Spyder was powered by the same V10 engine installed on its coupe sibling. It produced 640 PS (631 hp) from its 5.2-liter displacement and was paired with a seven-speed automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox. Thanks to its all-wheel-drive system, the car could be easily driven on public roads. But still, since it was heavier than its coupe sibling, it needed more time to do a 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) run: 3.1 instead of 2.9 seconds.
