New Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder Drops Its Roof For Geneva


After unveiling the Huracan Evo Coupe at the beginning of the year, Lamborghini has now uncovered the new Spyder open-top derivative.


It’s equipped with an electrohydraulic soft top that takes 17 seconds to lower and can be operated at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). As the driver pushes the button that opens up the cabin, two fins rise up out of the folding roof casing towards the seatbacks. Drivers can electronically open the rear window with the roof up or down, to listen to the V10 soundtrack.


As with the coupe, the supercar’s 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine has been tuned to deliver 640 PS (631 hp / 470 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque. With a dry weight of 1,542 kg (3,340 lbs), and a power-to-weight ratio of 2.41 kg/PS (5.31 lbs/PS), it hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.1 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.3 seconds and has a top speed of 325 km/h (201 mph).


In comparison, the Huracan Evo Coupe needs 2.9 seconds and 9.0 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) and 200 km/h (124 mph), respectively, and maxes out at just over 325 km/h (201 mph).


Just like its fixed-roof sibling, the new Huracan Evo Spyder features the Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) processing unit. This controls every aspect of the set-up and dynamic behavior, including the rear-wheel steering, four-wheel drive, torque vectoring and advanced traction control. It also gets the magneto rheological suspension, tuned dynamic steering and improved aerodynamics of the Coupe.


Presented in Verde Selvans, a new Lamborghini four-layer green, the Huracan Evo Spyder rides on new 20-inch Aesir rims, shod in Pirelli P Zero tires.


It can be specced in the new Evo grade in a mix of Alcantara and leather, with trim details and stitching that match the exterior shade. The carmaker is offering a new 8.4-inch infotainment system that debuted in the Coupe, as well as different styling packages including Carbon Forged Composite and Carbon Skin. Further personalization options come from the Ad Personam program.


Suggested retail prices (before taxes) kick off at €202,437 in mainland Europe, £181,781 in the United Kingdom, $287,400 in the United States, RMB 3,650,000 in China and YEN 32,827,602 in Japan.


The first cars will be delivered starting this spring, but before that, Lamborghini will bring the Huracan Evo Spyder to the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
