The Huracan Evo is the very latest and greatest iteration of the Huracan. It's on its way to SA and here's what it willcost.

We spent a weekend in Bahrain at the beginning of this year getting to know the Huracan Evo intimately around the F1 circuit. It surprised us as to just how different it is to its forebears and the amount of tech thrown in to improve its handling and excitement levels.

Physically the changes are subtle but all with the aim of increasing downforce and getting more air into the cooling ducts. Most notable is the twin exhaust outlets, which flank the number plate, making room for a huge diffuser underneath that sucks the Evo to the ground.

Performance wise the Evo is claimed to lap Lamborghini's test track a smidge faster than the much more track-focused Performante. That's a testament to just how much of an update this Evo is. Zero to 100 kph is done within 2.9 seconds and in 9.0 seconds it will be doing 200 kph. The 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 is good for 470 kW at 8 000 rpm and 600 Nm at 6 500 rpm.

The Huracan Evo is expected to be available in SA from the 4th quarter of 2019.
