Lamborghini revealed its convertible Huracán, the successor to the popular Gallardo Spyder, at the Frankfurt Motor Show overnight.
Named the Huracán LP610-4 Spyder, most of the car’s story revolves around what’s happened to its roof, as underneath its gizzards and skeleton are shared with the hard-roof Huracán.
That means it still packs a howling 5.2-litre V10, with all of the coupe’s 449kW and 540Nm, and claws at road surfaces with all-wheel drive.
But because the new electrohydraulic cloth roof adds 120kg to its overall weight, pegging the Spyder on the scales at 1542kg dry, the Spyder lags behind the coupe by 0.2sec and is ultimately 1km/h slower.
New ‘fins’ now feature behind the seatbacks and continue from there to the rear wing, meanwhile a model specific engine bonnet is plonked in between them.
You’ll have until 50km/h to drop the roof, and if you’re particular about style you can even have the shade cloth coloured red or brown as opposed to boring old black.
The chopped Huracan is due for Oz by spring next year.
