HURACÁN EVO RWD SPYDER IS ROBB REPORT’S 2021 SPORTS CAR OF THE YEAR

18 02 2021

The Lamborghini Huracán EVO RWD Spyder was awarded the title of Robb Report’s Sports Car of the Year 2021, thus proving Lamborghini victorious for a fifth year running. The purest driving emotion and the unfiltered experience behind the wheel it offers won over the judges. In Robb Report’s words:

The Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI), the original AWD EVO’s leading-edge tech continuously analyzes the driver’s input against vehicle orientation, and prepares the other systems—including torque vectoring, traction control and suspension—in anticipation of the next move. The result is a car that allows a driver to push closer to his limit without crossing it. Sometimes, though, experienced drivers want to lengthen the leash, and that’s where the new rear-wheel-drive (RWD) EVO Spyder comes in.

The efficacy of the new Performance Traction Control System (P-TCS) was recently experienced firsthand at Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, California. Coming out of turn four while in Sport mode, the back end broke loose unexpectedly. Based on my steering input, there was enough torque to carry me through the quick correction before my heart knew to accelerate. Fast forward to Central California’s wine country roads during Car of the Year; I alternated between Strada and Corsa and felt the car trace the corkscrew stretches between vineyards without a hint of wanting to stray outside the lines. It’s only ready to play when you are.”

The EVO RWD Spyder is the closest combination of race car and daily driver that we’ve encountered, and the latest example of why the Raging Bull continues its reign.”
