By CARSIFU | 8 April 2019


EPANG: Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur introduced the new Huracán EVO at Sepang International Circuit at an event attended by customers and members of the media.

Deliveries are expected to start in Q4, 2019 with price to be announced closer to that time. It is expected to be around RM1.15mil (base price before taxes), similar to the Huracan Performante this EVO replaces.

The Huracán EVO features the 5.2 l naturally-aspirated Lamborghini V10 engine which produces a higher power output and an emotional and powerful sound with Titanium intake valves and refined lightweight exhaust system.

The Huracán EVO outputs 640hp at 8,000rpm with 600Nm of torque delivered at 6,500rpm.

With a dry weight of 1,422kg the Huracán EVO reaches a power-to-weight ratio of 2.22kg/hp, accelerates from 0-100kph in 2.9 seconds and from 0-200kph in 9.0 seconds with a top speed of more than 325kph.

It is the first Lamborghini with predictive logic on vehicle dynamics control: fully-integrated Lamborghini Vehicle Dynamics Control System combined with all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering for redefined parameters of responsiveness, agility and easiness to drive.

The Huracán EVO features new Lamborghini rear-wheel steering and a torque vectoring system working on the four wheels, while at the heart of the car is the new feature of Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI): a Central Processing Unit that controls every aspect of the car’s dynamic behaviour, fully integrating all of the car’s dynamic systems and set-up to anticipate the next move and needs of the driver.

Lamborghini Piattaforma Inerziale (LPI), a comprehensive set of accelerators and gyroscope sensors placed at the car’s centre of gravity, has been enhanced to version 2.0.

The magnetorheological suspension, upgraded to version 2.0, instantaneously adapts the damping following inputs from the LPI.

Enhanced Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS), able to provide higher responsiveness in corners while requiring the lowest steering angles, is now coupled with rear-wheel steering in order to ensure agility at low speed, as well as maximum stability in high-speed cornering and under braking in the most severe conditions.

Processing data in real time, the Huracán EVO recognizes the driver’s intentions through the steering wheel, brake and accelerator pedal inputs, engaged gear and the driving modes selected via ANIMA controller: STRADA, SPORT or CORSA.

In STRADA, the Huracán EVO is agile and capable for driving enjoyment, whereas in SPORT it becomes playful, intuitive and extremely exciting. In CORSA the Huracán EVO is sharp, reactive and exhilarating for the most extreme driving environments, such as racetracks.

A new 8.4-inch HMI capacitive touchscreen, located on the centre console just above the start button, puts connectivity at the driver’s fingertips, with multi-finger gesture control.

Governing car functions including seats, climate and the status of the LDVI system in real-time it also puts all infotainment, such as Apple CarPlay with smartphone integration, at the cabin occupants’ disposal.

The Huracán EVO is presented in Arancio Xanto, an iconic new Lamborghini four-layer colour.

New 20-inch Aesir rims, dedicated to the EVO, are complemented by Pirelli P Zero tyres.

The interior features a dedicated new EVO trim in Alcantara and leather mix, with Arancio Dryope details matching the body tone.
