Does Lamborghini’s newfangled electronic system help you tame The Bull? We drove th e latest Huracan Evo to find out!

The Bull With A Brain

SANT’ AGATA HAS BEEN BUSY

Before the inevitable hybrid revolution, Lamborghini is undergoing an evolution, chiefly with the evergreen Huracan model which has over the years been sold in varying levels of modernization, grip and downforce to continue hooking customers over the last six years. This latest, perhaps greatest, is the Huracan Evo.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO THE PERFORMANTE?

By deleting the rear wing and the ingenious ALA asymmetric downforce it produced, the Huracan EVO can be compared to Porsche’s own GT3 Touring model. Lambo’s understudy to the Performante is otherwise fully intact with the same engine and the same power but without all the garish garnish. Subtle? Not even in matte silver could we criticize the Evo for being anything but jaw-dropping but now it looks like it belongs on the roads around a county rather than on the Nurburgring, which is where they all end up gathering anyway in a game of Top Trumps.

NOTHING BORING ABOUT THE ENGINE

Power alone does not make an engine an immediate benchmark. If that were the case this would be behind McLaren’s and Ferrari’s own V8. What it does do rather cunningly is escape the tightening noose of downsizing and turbocharging to remain the beguiling antithesis that will no doubt cement its place among the holy grail of mid-mounted engines.
