It’s hard to believe that the Lamborghini Huracan debuted nearly eight years ago. The classic wedge shape and its many hexagonal accents still feel pretty relevant from a design aspect. Thanks to a thorough refresh in 2019, this latest variant of the Huracan is one of the best looking yet. Take the front bumper, for example, and its styling exclusive to the rear-driven models. While it’s been re-shaped to channel even more air into the car’s many cooling components, it also gives the Huracan an angrier face than ever before. If anything, this latest look showcases how tame the original Huracan’s styling was.
The rear of the RWD Spyder sees the most extensive changes over its predecessors. While you won’t be looking at that NA V10 through a glass engine cover, Lamborghini has done a great job of adding angular slats finished in gloss black to not only help with cooling but to retain the car’s angular styling. Also gone are the quad exhaust tips of old, in favor of two massive exits that visually cut through the vehicle’s rear. As if the exhaust tips weren’t pronounced enough, a relatively open hexagonal rear grille gives you a clear view of the entire system, among other components. A tiny spoiler and updated diffuser tie up the rear nicely, solidifying the car’s sporty yet purposeful aesthetic.
While I’m a big proponent of supercars wearing loud attention-grabbing colors, I can’t help but love my tester’s subtle yet classy spec. The deep Blu Astraeus exterior finish looks almost black at night while exhibiting plenty of sparkles once the sunlight hits it. The dark shade contrasts nicely against the silver 20-inch forged wheel’s intricate multi-spoke design.
The interior is perhaps the classiest element of this spec, forgoing bright colors with attention-grabbing contrast stitching in favor of an elegant Terra Asia Vintage tone with contrasting black elements throughout the cabin. This is about as visually under the radar as a Lamborghini can get, that is, until you fire it up.
