Lamborghini Huracan LP580-2 Proves Louder than Huracan Spyder In Decibel Test

Sure, there are tons of ways in which such comparisons can be carried out, but, if we are to chose the most differentiated models, the LP610-4 Spyder and the LP580-2 Coupe are the obvious choices.

Auto Express has recently pitted the two against each other and we're here to talk about one particular aspect of the battle, which has to do with the aural side of the Sant'Agata Bolognese.

The said test involves a part where the Lambos' voices are recorded and the conclusion is surprising - the 580 is louder than the Spyder.

The British journos measured the dB fest delivered by the pair of supercars at full throttle, in both second and fifth gear. The differences are the kind that only appeals to pedants, but still, they're real. For instance, the second gear adventure saw the rear-wheel-drive coupe delivering 109 decibels, while the Spyder produced 108 decibels.

This comes as a bit of a surprise, since we're used to open-top models that are slightly louder than their fixed-roof counterparts, all in the name of augmenting the wind-in-your-hair moments.

Plus or minus a few decibels, the Huracan is one of the best-sounding supercars you can currently buy in a showroom and there are two reasons for this. First of all, Lamborghini remains the only major supercar builder that's 100 percent committed to natural aspiration.

Secondly, the specific tune of the Huracan exhaust means that the full sprinting soundtrack and what happens when you take your foot off the gas are two similarly enjoyable audio adventures.

Italian engineers have tweaked the exhaust in a way that makes the engine overrun phase seem like a machine gun episode, as we found out during our Huracan LP610-4 review.
