We often say that more cars should be offered in a speedster style, especially the new Corvette. And while Lamborghini has no shortage of exotic-looking machines, the lovable Huracan has never followed in the footsteps of the open-top supercar greats.
2020 has been full of attention-grabbing chop-top cars, such as the Ferrari Monza twins and the McLaren Elva. However, while those are official projects that take advantage of customers with deep pockets, this Huracan Evo "Aperta" belongs to a private individual with a big dream. It's not like his pockets are shallow, though.
The YouTube channel DailyDrivenExotics is well known for its Lamborghini videos. And while some of the most popular ones have been about "police using unlawful intimidation", there's also drag racing and more. There's something poetic about making that kind of content and then building the only Huracan speedster in the world.
It's not just a Huracan without the top. Parts from many companies came together to create a unique car. The forged carbon body kit from Vorsteiner alone makes the Huracan look like a million-dollar car. These include vents over the front wheels and some chunky side skirts. It's also completely wrapped in neon yellow 3M vinyl, has a VF engineering supercharger and a naughty exhaust system from Fi with forged carbon tips.
Altogether, the V10 engine in this car makes 840 horsepower, which is a frightening number considering they used an EVO model as the platform, as in the one with RWD. The more we talk about this, the more it begins to sound like a LaFerrari.
In any case, we'd mention the legendary Aventador J, a speedster one-off that Lamborghini built about eight years ago. But before that, we had the Concept S. That's right, we're talking about the infamous chopped V10 supercar from 2005. It was based on the Gallardo, which is the predecessor of this bad boy.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
