2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo Rear-Wheel Drive Breaks Cover

It’s hard to think about how can the Huracan be more engaging for the driver without losing control. Lamborghini seemed to have a similar thought very recently and has introduced an unfiltered, unadulterated version of the supercar with the new Huracan Evo rear-wheel drive. The new Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD is the newest addition to the Huracan family and keeps that Italian bull only on its hind legs. Admittedly, the Huracan Evo RWD makes less power than the AWD version with the 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 belting out 594 bhp, about 29 horses less than the standard Huracan Evo. However, what it promises is a lot of sideways action.

Essentially, the 2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD is the no-frills edition of the two-door coupe, which in Italian supercar speak means “more fun.” So, the car misses out on the front axle, the rear steering and gets a power cut. There are some nifty additions though that aim to make the driving experience more seamless and exhilarating. This includes the new P-TCS or Performance Traction Control System that is unique to the 2020 Huracan Evo RWD and lets you slide and skate during acceleration, according to the manufacturer. Lamborghini also says that P-TCS never cuts torque abruptly. Instead, it will feed extra torque before the car gets into a slide and then will back off more gently, in the Sport mode. The system will also allow the car to exit corners more quickly in the Corsa mode, lending more control to the driver.

Compared to the older Huracan LP580-2, the new Huracan Evo RWD gets about 30 per cent oversteer, as per Lamborghini’s proprietary fun calculator. The car weighs 1389 kg, which is lighter than the AWD version and has a top speed of 3.3 seconds. Visually, the 2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD is difficult to distinguish from the standard versions but take a hard look and you’ll find a new front splitter and fins in the front intakes while a new diffuser is visible at the rear. The car also wears its own shade of yellow – Giallo Belenus but can be ordered in a plethora of colour and leather options to match your taste.
