Lamborghini Huracán Evo 2025 Review: Key Advantages and Disadvantages

Pros

• Amazing engine
• Absolutely planted
• Outrageous handling

Cons

• Body structure issues
• Infotainment UX
• No room for stuff

The Lamborghini Huracán Evo had a significant challenge coming into the 2020 Best Driver’s Competition. The previous version, the Huracán Performante, had won accolades in 2018, being a specially designed track-focused supercar. The Evo, however, is simply a refresh of the entry-level Lambo.

Admittedly, the Huracán is fundamentally a restyled Audi R8. Yet, Sant’Agata’s all-in approach with the Performante demonstrated their capability. The Evo carries over the Performante’s 630-hp V-10 engine, achieving impressive sound levels despite being at a different track.

So, what is the Evo? Essentially, it provides Performante levels of straight-line thrust, yet omits the controversial active aerodynamics system known as ALA. There’s ongoing debate in automotive forums about the effectiveness of such systems, but it’s worth noting that Lamborghini holds the patent.

This year, our resident racer showcased how the Evo compares without the ALA system. The Evo clocked 2.85 seconds slower per lap around Laguna Seca, a mere oversight against the Performante’s performance. The Lamborghini representative simply stated, “The Evo doesn’t have ALA.” Additionally, the Evo is equipped with four-wheel steering—something the Performante lacks.

ALA or not, the Evo impresses. It handles exceptionally well on California’s winding roads, creating a perfect state of driving bliss. Editor-in-chief Mark Rechtin noted that past experiences with twitchy Lamborghinis have changed, especially after falling in love with the Huracán Performante.

The Evo matches that confidence, exhibiting tremendous cornering grip, quick responsiveness, and reliability, earning praise from all judges both on the street and racetrack. Every corner was met with enthusiasm.

However, the Huracán Evo is not without its flaws. Issues such as some brake fade after laps, rattling sounds from the passenger door over bumps, and a confusing touchscreen interface were noted. These elements do not detract too much from the overall performance.

The Evo lacks some practical features; don’t expect much luggage space. The Huracán Evo also performed slightly slower than the Ferrari F8 Tributo on Laguna Seca, attributed to the latter’s superior power output. Nonetheless, the Huracán Evo consistently proves to be a thrilling experience.

With the Huracán Evo, the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks. Road test editor Chris Walton remarked, “You can drive it like you stole it, and it’ll be there for you.” The steering and handling set a benchmark in the supercar segment.

Regardless of its standing in this year’s competition, Sant’Agata’s dedication to producing world-class super sports cars remains resolute. The Evo serves as the latest testament to this pursuit.
