This is the new Lamborghini Hurac n Performante Spyder. Yes, a Performante Spyder. Bit of a contradiction in terms, isn"t it, taking your most focused, track-honed supercar and then lopping the roof off? If you want to work on your tan and attract attention then surely the standard Hurac n Spyder will do? Normally, yes, but such is the leap dymamically from the standard Hurac n to the Performante, we"re prepared to let this one slide. Also, given the noise the Performante Coupe makes, there"s potential here for a serious ear-gasm. All the important bits are still in place a 5.2-litre V10 producing 631bhp at 8,000rpm and 442lb ft of torque at 6,500rpm driving all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The chassis is still a hybrid of aluminium and carbon-fibre, there"s still Lambo"s trick downforce-vectoring ALA rear wing, there"s still carbon-ceramic brakes as standard and 20-inch wheels wrapped in P Zero Corsas. But because it now has a foldable soft top, the head-splitting scream should be dialled up significantly.
