Evo - The Amped-Up Huracan
evo India|September 2019

With an upgraded V10 from the Performante, predictive electronics, improved aero, and more chassis sophistication, the Evo is the amped-up Huracan

Evo - The Amped-Up Huracan

Four laps over two sessions on a damp MMRT, that’s all I’ve got to get to grips with the latest evolution of Lamborghini’s mid-engined V10, aptly suffixed Evo. Overnight rains have left a couple of puddles, notably into the fast entry of C4, and dark clouds over the track look threatening. The thunder though, is coming from the pit lane as three Huracan Evos are warmed up, the N-O-I-S-E leading to plenty of whinging among the pit lane tigers over the imminent demise of nat-asp engines. Somebody ought to send them all a memo to live in the now and enjoy what we have!

Anyway, contort and drop into the Huracan — it’s never been an elegant car to get into and the Evo is no different — and click the Anima into full Corsa. We’re going to be led like children round the MMRT but at least the pace car is driven by Armaan Ebrahim and I know him well enough, and importantly he knows me well enough, so our two laps will not be lukewarm. Only problem, he’s in an Urus.
