LUX drives the latest iteration of one of the world?s great supercars, the V10 engined, open-topped Huracan Spyder
It may look good outside the yacht club?
The latest evolution of the flamboyant Italian car company?s brilliant two-seater looks like something run by an avatar from a games console, more mini-spaceship than vehicle. With the roof down (Spyder is Lamborghese for convertible) it looks more like a pair of aliens (driver and passenger) are taking a little tour of Earth.
Colour is a fundamental element of cars like these. If our Huracan had been green, purple, orange or any of the other eye-popping colours Lambo drivers like to choose, it would have been one kind of statement of personality: perhaps the most attention-grabbing car in the world in an attention-seeking hue. But in a dark metallic grey, it looked intriguing: more space vehicle, less boulevard poser. The interior was also restrained, black leather with blue piping, although the company?s design flair was everywhere, playing on hexagonal patterns and forms. This is not a car that could be mistaken for any other. Follow LUX on Instagram: luxthemagazine
