With production nearly done and the V10 never to return, the ultimate Huracan looks more appealing than ever
Well-built, mechanically strong and very exciting to drive‘Every Day Amplified’. That was the message greeting the press bods when they pitched up for the launch of the Lamborghini Huracan Evo in 2019.
These lower-powered versions of the Evo Huracan, the 610-2 and 610-4, are the subjects of today’s guide. As before, you could have either a coupe or a Spyder convertible. The Spyders were noticeably heavier than the coupes, by on average around 100kg. That made them slower again through the 0-62mph than the equivalent coupes but again the 202mph top speeds were identical.
Even the most diehard Lamborghini fan wouldn’t have denied that there were faster and more efficient supercars out there from the likes of Ferrari and Porsche, but when it came to the delivery of drama, pure and simple, the Huracan Evo stood up strong against all comers. Used prices have reflected this by staying firm. The most affordable Evo on PH classifieds at the time of writing was a RWD at £185,000, £20k more than the new Evo RWD price in 2020.
The Huracan’s dual-clutch transmission was the same as the one used by Audi in the R8. It put worries about Lamborghini’s old ISR automated manual and the Gallardo’s fragile E-Gear system firmly in the past, and as you would expect its functionality was sharpened up for the Evo. The AWD Huracan was no dummy. It also blew your socks off in every area. The RWD didn’t have the customisable ‘Ego’ mode to delink chassis and engine settings, and of course nor did it have torque vectoring, but it did have an extra edge of delicacy at speeds where the traction advantages of all-wheel drive had become a distant memory. It felt better in Corsa mode than pre-Evo RWD Huracans too by virtue of it no longer being an ‘everything off, over to you mate’ setting.
Fastenings for the engine cover latch could come adrift. 21 examples of May 2022-built Huracans were recalled in the US to put right a left door handle issue that could make it impossible to open the car from the outside and therefore potentially trap the passenger inside the car. Some cars have had false warnings come up for low coolant or washer fluid levels or low tyre pressures. Rearview cameras might randomly go on strike and then might equally randomly come back on the next day. In fairness, Audi and Porsche were also having some MMI/infotainment problems at this time. Evos from mid-2021 on seem to have more stability but the feeling you get from current owners’ forums is that it’s still a work in progress.
