Coming soon: How the Lamborghini Huracán Rear-Wheel-Drive Spyder can rev a Fast and Furious lifestyle
Exciting V10 supercar expected to challenge Ferrari and McLaren in Hong Kong by autumn
The 2017 Lamborghini Huracán Rear-Wheel-Drive Spyder and its predecessor, an all-wheel-drive version, are virtually identical. Aside from a subtle widening of the front air intakes and specially contoured aluminium brakes to increase downforce, you’d be hard-pressed to pick the new one out in a line-up.
Which raises the question: Why spend US$20,000 more on the rear-wheel-drive version, especially since it’s more squirrely to drive? My answer: exactly.
If you are in the market for a Lamborghini, you are in the market for something that feels radical when you drive it – far different from any other car on the market today. And probably you are keen to signal just how little the extra expense impacts your bank account.
The 2017 Lamborghini Huracán RWD Spyder (alias the Huracán LP 580-2 Spyder) is expected in Hong Kong at the end of the late summer to autumn of this year. Local dealer Lamborghini Hong Kong can’t name a price this week, but says the Huracan RWD Coupe is from HK$3.68 million.
However, Francesco Scardaoni, managing director of Automobili Lamborghini Greater China, says the rear-wheel-drive range appeals to drivers “desiring a more intense driving experience, or those who currently drive other rear-wheel-drive marques and aspire to drive a Lamborghini”.
