In the words of Russian philosopher Ivan Drago, "You will lose."
For 2020, Lambo cranked up its entry-level supercar to match the power of its Performante model. Boasting 631 ponies at 8000 rpm, the Evo's V-10 makes 29 horsepower more than last year's all-wheel-drive Huracán.
Thanks in part to a tweaked all-wheel-drive system, the Huracán Evo hits 60 in 2.5 seconds. Then it really starts pulling away from the rear-drive Chevy, needing only 5.7 seconds to reach 100 mph—1.5 seconds quicker than the Corvette—and covering the quarter-mile in 10.4 seconds at 135 mph. By 150 mph, the gap is nearly six seconds in the Huracán's favor. The Lambo also turns out a 1.10-g skidpad performance and a 136-foot stopping distance from 70 mph, due largely to its ultrasticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo Rs.
The Evo's 5.2-liter V-10 revs to 8500 rpm so quickly that it's difficult to keep up with the gearchanges when using the paddle shifters. Without the muffling effect of turbocharging, it's loud. Like, "How is this legal?" loud. Full throttle fills the Lambo's cabin with 96 decibels of aural intensity. You can hear it ripping through the gears from a half-mile away. But the Huracán isn't all noise and face-twisting thrust. At around-town speeds, the Evo is shockingly docile, an orange wedge with a livable ride and a hushed cabin. This year's facelift includes revised styling, a more comfortable interior, and a new infotainment system with a larger screen.
Right about now, Corvette fans are screaming about the Evo's price. And rightfully so. You can buy five Corvette Z51s for the cost of our $331,469 test car. But bragging rights at Cars & Coffee rarely involve value, and Black Card holders don't care anyway.
