Open air emotion, the wind in your hair, Matt Monroe's On Days Like These playing on the radio, it doesn't matter how much Italian mumbo-jumbo you insert here because the all-new Lamborghini Huracan Spyder is plain awesome. Haters gonna hate because the drop-top Huracan can talk the talk and walk the walk on the highly-strung supercar catwalk.
Set to make its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the one that is officially known as the 2016 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Spyder is nothing short of an work of art. Words alone can't make justice when it comes to this representative of the La Dolce Vita automotive lifestyle. If anything, fast and exquisite are the right words to describe the most recent bull from Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.
Under the hood you'll find a mid-mounted V10 engine with 610 HP, a similar mill used by the hardtop Huracan. It may have lost its fixed metal roof, but the Spyder is still one of the fastest cars to wear a licence plate thanks to a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph) and a sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) of 3.4 seconds. What's the Italian for "My spleen has come off from the brutal acceleration and the Gs this thing can pull"?
So is there anything remotely new other than the soft top roof of the 2016 Lamborghini Huracan Spyder? Yes it is, but it's not much. In the adjacent press release you'll find a paragraph that reads "cylinder on demand in combination with stop start." What the actual you-know-what, Lamborghini? Did you make this model to keep Greenpeace activists happy? Oh, wait, Euro 6 emissions standard just became mandatory...
Compared to the 1,422 kg (3,135 lbs) of the fixed head Huracan, the all-new Lamborghini Huracan Spyder tips the scales at 1,542 kg (3,399 lbs). Despite the extra weight, chances are the soft top Huracan will be more fun to drive than its coupe counterpart thanks to that removable soft top. Oh, nearly forgot – you can open and close the roof in just 17 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). Boulevard posers, rejoice!
