Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD Review: The SCARIEST Lambo | 4K

the bat neuro diablo fighting bulls that left an indelible mark on our history today a distant memory his legacy continues with this the

lambo

rghini hurricane evo one of the few balls left is small in stature but big in heart a fearsome package of extreme power and theatrical design or at least that's the theory but the reality is that the hurricane is a bit lackluster compared to the old guard, don't get me wrong it's fast and looks brilliant but when you share your rig and your oily bits with an audi stylish and all that power is neutered by the safer house all-wheel drive system, but then the end result is a bit meh.

The Lamborghinis of yesteryear didn't just look like alien spaceships, they drove like they were trying to kill you, so the new evo has lost that. fear factor that made their ancestors so cool no, that could be the case if this was the old hurricane, but this is not the old hurricane, this is the new rear wheel drive

lambo

hurricane evo, this takes us from back to what lambos are. it's designed to be scary it has all the ingredients to be a proper classic lambo 600 horsepower makes a big scary mid-mounted 5.2 liter engine does a stupid paint job and then the big one with rear drive clicks and it's the big one because that's what transforms this lambo from a car that any prankster can drive into a monster that if you're not careful will send you backwards through a burning hedge?

The old hurricane had grip and traction for days. It was basically an idiot test that you could throw. into a corner and it would do one of two things: understeer into a bush or, more likely, it would grab hold and then shoot off like a laser-guided missile. Driving the rear wheel drive evo is a bit like blowing up a balloon letting it go and then trying to catch it again, you have to be quick, you have to treat it with respect, it still has plenty of grip and traction to be fair but you have to be very lively in every little movement. because it's a proper animal in the old car, if you make a mistake you won't even know it because the four wheel drive system would fix everything in this car, if you make a mistake you won't know it yet but that's because you'll be dead so There's a new sense of theater in the way it drives, it's fast and fun, but does the Hurricane Evo have enough theater in the way it looks?

The design is absolutely beautiful, isn't it? You get an idea of ​​how cool the Hurricane is until you stand near it, but it really is silly in a good way, but it's some small details that take it into the realms of absurdity. There is not a single curve in this car. Apart from maybe the wheel arch, everything else looks like it was designed with a ruler or sculpted with a samurai sword, even the brake discs, most cars have a brake disc, this one has a brake dodecahedron. I'm sure Lamborghini will tell you there are some engineering benefits. of that, but no, nonsense, that's there just because it looks cool and then on the inside, lovely, these switches for your windows, your nose goes up and your emergency lights are straight out of a fighter jet, lovely, so this cover for the engine start button looks like the trigger for some kind of device that could start World War III and then you have this alien looking reverse lever that for some reason looks like this, I mean they could have used a button, but instead they went with this, I love it, well.

I'm not sure I'd love these really ridiculous switches for the windshield wipers. Look you push it to the left to turn them on and to the right to turn them off and then you have a separate button for the washer fluid and then the gauge is another one. changes, you push it left to go left, right to go right and then push down to cancel imagine trying to use it with the wheel backwards on the roundabout would be absolute carnage, which is the thing dumbest and

lamborghini

in the world and I love it. Not entirely crazy, although there are some sensible touches inside this car, there are a couple of USB ports in the rear firewall, there's Apple CarPlay, there's Alexa for voice control and it's all controlled through this delightful looking tenant screen , although the user interface is a bit too lambo. to my taste and don't get me started on the lack of a volume knob, so the rear-wheel drive Hurricane Evo has some useful creature comforts, even if some have been designed in true Lamborghini style to enrage, but is it a car that you can drive? every day without risking your life, so what feels really amazing?

The steering isn't as hyperactive as I thought it might be, it's fairly neutral but close to neutral, but it's actually very quick once you go over a certain amount. very lively, very sharp, not overflowing with sensation, but gives you enough confidence going into a corner and you know exactly how much grip there is on the exit brakes, really, very strong, they're not carbon ceramic, they're steel, but still They do a fantastic job, the balance of the chassis I must say is the highlight for me. It has outrageous power and projects shapes, but if you're fast enough, you can catch it.

It has a few different driving modes. There is an anima switch. Here at the bottom of the steering wheel, which gives you three different modes to choose from, there's Strada, which is Italian for street, then there's Sport, which is Italian for sport, and then there's Corsa, which is Italian for sport. I have a huge pair of all of them. three modes are completely different in strata the car is a complete pussycat the adaptive suspension is soft the throttle response is progressive and the steering is light it is a pleasant mode for every day in the sport firms up the suspension makes the steering quicker you just turn everything up to 11 and then Corsa basically turns it into a race car.

The problem is that there is no perfect way. The strider is too soft. The sport is too difficult in Corsa. Well, I don't think it has big enough appendages for Corsa and you can't customize it. you have to live with what the lambo wants to do at any given time; It's in Sport and Strada where you make the most of that naturally aspirated V10 engine, the same unit used in the Hurricane to ferment, except here it's tuned to deliver 602 brake horsepower. of 631, but it's still a free-revving marvel that runs to a crescendo of 8,000 rpm and each last rpm sounds sweeter than the last in a turbocharged car, the fun ends at three four thousand rpm in this thing, the party doesn't It starts at five grand and the gearbox is an absolute dream, seven speed dual clutch, super responsive on the upshift quick on the downshift, it even has a downshift mode so if you find yourself in 7th gear and from suddenly you want to be, say, in third gear.

You don't have to slap it several times to get where you want, just hold it and watch this seventh by second and I'm gone, so this is a lambo that finally feels like a lambo that channels the spirit of classic Lamborghinis. but in doing so, it remains as modern and capable as any Audi. This is a car you can push to its absolute limits one minute and hit the local shops on a trip to stock up on essentials the next. This is a car that will have you hitting over 200 miles per hour in a matter of seconds, but the next one will have you happily cruising through traffic without a hitch.

It is a car that looks exotic and delicate, but because of its reliable and proven foundations, its adaptability and innate toughness are just as happy. Conquering an epic B-road while fording a river with rear-wheel drive EVO, they have created a Lamborghini that pays true homage to previous models. It's a car you'll want to be seen in, yes, but also one that I'll really enjoy driving every day and in every situation. The rear-drive Hurricane Evo is a dinosaur, but in a good way it's a throwback to when Supercars were super fast, yes, pretty, of course, but they also involved rewarding and also a little scary.

The memory of the Miura and Diablo bat is distant, I thought we would never see it again, but in the rear-wheel drive Hurricane Evo we have a current supercar that looks to the future without ignoring its illustrious past.
