Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder

The Huracán ran a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, and EVO was the update that brought the Performante's engine output, rear-wheel steering and a control system that predicts what the driver is about to ask for. What matters now is what it doesn't have: no turbos, no hybrid. Its replacement runs a twin-turbo V8 with electric assistance, so this is the end of a specific noise.

Spyders are the honest test of a car's proportions. A fixed roof hides a lot - it links the windscreen to the engine cover and papers over whatever is awkward in between. Fold it away and the cabin becomes a gap, the roll structure joins the silhouette, and the shoulder line behind the seats turns into the most important edge on the car.

It also means the interior is in every exterior frame, so there's nowhere to hide a badly lit dashboard. On an open car under a fixed rig, the seats catch the ceiling and the screens catch everything else in the room. The upside is that a V10 cabin is worth showing, so the shots you're forced into are the ones you'd have wanted anyway.
