Supercars may be changing around the world, but it seems fair to say their legacy continues with the Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD.
This is designed to be scary and takes us back to what Lambos used to be: all about the theatre and the fear factor.

Lamborghini Huracan EVO engine
The 2020 Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD has a 5.2 litre, mid-mounted, V10 engine. It’s naturally aspirated and tuned to produce the same 600 horsepower at 8,000 rpm (revolutions per minute) as the all-wheel drive Huracan.
Lamborghini say this’ll get you a top speed of 202mph and 0-62 in 3.3 seconds.

Lamborghini Huracan EVO driving style
The new Huracan EVO is a rear wheel drive (RWD). This, in all honesty, makes it a monster of a car that not everyone can drive. The old Huracan had grip and traction for days, and the 2020 RWD maintains that – but you have to be much more alert behind the wheel now. The RWD is an animal and if you get it wrong, you’ll know about it.
The EVO RWD’s gearbox is seven speed, dual clutch and super responsive. The overall driving style is theatrical. It’s lively and sharp, with a decent grip. The brakes are strong, and chassis balance is great even despite its outrageous power. The Huracan EVO RWD also benefits from three very different driving modes: Strada, Sport and Corsa. You can see how they stand apart in our video review.

Lamborghini Huracan EVO interior and design
Head over to our expert review for a closer looked at the Huracan EVO RWD. At a glance, its design is as theatrical as its drive. There isn’t a curve on the car apart from the wheel arch – everything else looks like it was sculpted by a samurai sword.
Its interior is excessive, in the best possible way. It’s filled with switches that wouldn’t look out of place inside a fighter jet. There are some practical touches too – including built-in USB ports, Apple Carplay and Alexa voice control – all of which is controlled through a 10-inch screen.

Is the Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD worth getting?
If you’re a fan of supercars, proper supercars, then it’s worth a look. The Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD pays homage to the models that came before and manages to pull off the balance of being something you’d want to be seen in and something you’ll enjoy driving too.
