It wasn’t one of the industry’s better-kept secrets that Lamborghini planned a successor to the Gallardo Spyder, one which would be based on the still-fresh Huracán LP610-4. The wedge-shaped, open-air two-seater will bow at the Frankfurt auto show at around noon local time next Tuesday, and it’s sure to be a magnet for horsepower-mad attendees.
While most of the details are still secret, the model’s official designation has been revealed, which means we know it will definitely have all-wheel drive and how much horsepower to expect from the 5.2-liter V-10: the same 602 ponies summoned by the engine of the fixed-roof Huracán. (The 610 in the car’s name denotes metric horsepower, which converts to 602 on the SAE scale, while the 4 refers to four driven wheels.)
Even if you’re not a convertible lover, there is a specific reason to get the Spyder version of the Huracán: You will be able to lower the rear glass window even with the top up—which greatly amplifies the audible soundtrack of the untamed, un-hybridized, and un-downsized V-10.
The open-top Huracán will compete with its forthcoming platform mate, the Audi R8 Spyder, as well as Porsche’s uplevel 911 cabriolets, the Ferrari 488GTB Spider, and the McLaren 650S Spider. Look for photos and further info next week.
