NEW DELHI: Italian luxury automobile manufacturer,

. It gets a new front bumper, rear bumper and diffuser along with twin exhaust pipes placed on each side of the license plate. They are also positioned a tad bit higher than the outgoing model. The Evo also gets a new 20 inch Aesir alloy wheel design and a new Arancio Xanto (Orange) paint option.

"In 2018, we were leaders in the overall super luxury segment in India. We aim to further strengthen our position in the country this year," Lamborghini India Head Sharad Agarwal told reporters.

Lamborghini claims the Evo improves downforce and aerodynamic efficiency more than five times over the first generation Huracán.


The 2019 Huracan Evo is fitted with the same engine as the bigger and pricier Huracan Performante. It gets a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 unit that returns humongous 640PS of power and a peak torque of 600Nm. It is mated to a seven-speed dual clutch automatic and an all-wheel-drive system. Lamborghini promises the Evo to be capable of a 1-100kmph in just 2.9 seconds while a 0-200kmph sprint takes nine seconds. The top speed is contained at 325kmph.

There are substantial changes made to the interior with focus on the 8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen system which controls Huracan Evo's major functions like driver mode system. Automobili Lamborghini CEO APAC region Matteo Ortenzi said India is the first market globally where the company is launching the Evo after its unveiling in Bahrain.

"This shows our commitment to the Indian market, which we consider to be a very key and important market," he added.

The company sold 45 units in India last year up from 26 units in 2017.

Globally, Lamborghini sold 5,750 units last year, while in the Asia Pacific region it sold 1,301 units up from 1,000 units in 2017.
