Novitec Preparing Tuned RWD Lamborghini Huracan, Keeps Us Busy via 860 HP Spyder

Novitec has announced it is working on a Huracan LP550-2, and there's a good reason for which we see this and not the freshly-released AWD Spyder as the greater challenge.

You see, the RWD Huracan isn't quite as sharp as the Ferrari 488 GTB or the McLaren 650S when it comes to putting its power down, which makes us incredibly curious about the Italian tuning house's take on the matter.

Returning to the open-air development that has just landed in our inbox, this follows the developments we've seen with Novitec Torado's Huracan Coupe.

The 5.2-liter V10 has been supercharged, with the output jumping from 602 hp and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) to 860 ponies and 708 lb-ft (960 Nm) of twist. Sure, the blower path means you don't get the four-digit power statement of the twin-turbo models, but the instant response and soundtrack assets offered by the supercharging are more in tune with the Lamborghini spirit.

Speaking of the soundtrack, this is delivered with the help of an exhaust system built from Inconel, the material used by F1 cars.

As for the connection to the road, this is established by a lowering suspension that brings the supercar 35mm closer to the road. Fortunately, the company has realized not everybody wants to join the slammed culture, so it is currently preparing and adjustable coilover solution. Custom wheels, which comes in a 20-inch size up front and in a 21-inch size at the back, are also on the menu, being shod in Pirelli P Zero rubber.

The list of enhancements is complete by a carbon fiber body kit, which seems to build on the factory styling cues of the Huracan nicely.

P.S.: High-velocity fans shouldn't fret, as the aero bits have been optimized in the wind tunnel.
