Lamborghini Huracan Spyder

The Huracán LP580-2 Spyder is the model in Lamborghini's open-top range that enthusiasts tend to recommend — rear-wheel drive rather than the four-wheel-drive LP610-4, with all the V10 theatre and a more communicative, driver-focused character. This 2017 example has covered 17,518 miles from new, and a well-chosen specification makes it one of the more appealing examples around.

Finished in Nero Noctis over a full Ad Personam interior in Nero Ade leather and Alcantara, the contrast stitching and headrest embroidery in Arancio Leonis give it a cohesive look rather than the more obvious red-on-black approach. Shiny Black 20-inch Giano wheels and orange-painted brake calipers tie the exterior together, while the factory-fitted Magneto-Rheologic Suspension and Lifting System — optioned at a combined cost of over £5,100 new — add genuine day-to-day usability. An extensive Lamborghini service history includes a recent service, and the car is supplied with a Romans International Platinum Warranty.

The 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 produces 571bhp sent entirely to the rear axle, dispatching 0–62mph in 3.6 seconds on the way to a 199mph top speed. With the roof stowed, the acoustic experience this engine provides at high revs is difficult to replicate in any turbocharged equivalent. The LP580-2 Spyder is increasingly regarded as one of the last truly analogue Lamborghinis — naturally aspirated, rear-wheel drive, and uncompromised in its intent.
