Can you believe it's been nearly five years since the Lamborghini Huracan Evo broke cover? This special version of the Italian supercar debuted in early 2019, and a few months later, deliveries started in the U.S. of A.
Since inflation had yet to leave its mark on the car world (and not only), it was priced from $261,274 back then, or twice as much as a new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in today's money.

The Baby Lambo came with some goodies sourced from the Performance and (then) new-gen Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI), a processing unit that takes care of the supercar's dynamics for an enhanced experience behind the wheel. It also features revised aerodynamics compared to the standard model, an 8.4-inch infotainment system, and a few other goodies.

Its naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 was updated to produce 631 hp (640 ps/470 kW) at 8,000 rpm, with the thrust being rated at 443 lb-ft (600 Nm). Everything goes to the AWD system through a DCT with seven gears. The Sant'Agata Bolognese marque quoted 2.9 seconds from zero to sixty-two mph (0 to 100 kph) for the Coupe and 3.1 seconds for the Spyder, and both had a top speed exceeding 202 mph (325 kph).

But why bring back the Lamborghini Huracan Evo under the spotlight nearly five years after it made its debut? Because Vorsteiner has. The American tuner took to social media to reveal a modified copy of the Italian supercar. The vehicle features a body kit consisting of a tweaked front bumper, a new apron, a different front hood, vents on the front fenders, side skirt attachments, a new diffuser, and a large rear wing.

Called the VMP-306, the wheels also came from Vorsteiner. They feature a Y-spoke design and have a bi-tone look on the Italian supercar. Measuring 8.5x20 inches at the front and 12x21 inches at the rear, the alloys are priced from $12,680 for the entire set or $12,380 should you choose the 12x20-inch variant at the rear axle. Vorsteiner offers various configuration options for the said alloys, which can also be equipped to other cars from Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, etc.

The most eye-catching feature of this Lamborghini Huracan Evo is its purple look. It's unknown whether it is a paint finish or a wrap, though we lean towards the former. Or that's what we like to think, anyway, as all supercars look great in flashy hues, and this one rocks this styling perfectly. If there is something we don't agree with, it is the fact that the tuner hasn't released enough images of it on social media, as we would've loved to see it from more angles and catch a glimpse of the interior, too. But hey, it is what it is.
