2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder Dimensions, Size & Specs

The Huracan Performante Spyder has a curb weight of 1507 kg (3322 lbs). This relatively lightweight body, considering its convertible form and high-performance components, is achieved through extensive use of carbon fiber and lightweight materials. The weight helps in delivering exceptional acceleration, handling, and overall driving dynamics, contributing to the car’s status as a super sports convertible with an impressive power-to-weight ratio.

This model offers a luggage capacity of just 100 liters (approximately 3.5 cubic feet), which is quite limited due to its mid-engine layout and sporty focus. The capacity is suitable for small bags or a couple of carry-on suitcases, but it is not designed for substantial cargo carrying. Owners typically view the Huracan Performante Spyder as a weekend or leisure vehicle rather than a daily practical car.

The Huracan Performante Spyder is equipped with 20-inch rims: the front rims measure 8.5J x 20 and the rear rims are 11J x 20. Corresponding tire sizes are 245/30 R20 for the front and 305/30 R20 for the rear. These wide tires combined with large rims provide enhanced grip and precise handling for spirited driving on both road and track.

With a length of 4506 mm (177.3 inches), a width of 1924 mm (75.7 inches) without mirrors, and a height of 1180 mm (46.5 inches), the Huracan Performante Spyder can fit into most standard home garages. However, when considering the width including opened mirrors at 2236 mm (88 inches), extra care is required to avoid contact when maneuvering. If garage space is typical (approximately 2.4 to 2.7 meters wide), the car fits comfortably but mirror clearance can be tight.

Compared to the standard Huracan Spyder, the Performante Spyder shares very similar external dimensions in length and height but is slightly wider in track and features aerodynamic enhancements. The Performante version is more aggressively styled with carbon fiber aerodynamic elements that do not significantly increase exterior dimensions but do improve performance. Overall, they are closely matched in size, but the Performante adds a sportier edge with marginal dimension differences.

The Huracan Performante Spyder's compact dimensions (4506 mm length and 1924 mm width) make it one of the more manageable sized supercars. It’s generally shorter and slightly wider than some competitors like the Ferrari 488 Spider or McLaren 720S Spider. Its height at just 1180 mm ensures a low center of gravity. The car balances aggressive sporty dimensions with everyday usability in parking and driving conditions better than many larger rivals.

When the side mirrors of the Huracan Performante Spyder are opened, the overall vehicle width increases from 1924 mm (75.7 inches) to 2236 mm (88.0 inches). This added width must be considered in narrow spaces such as city streets, parking lots, or garages. Drivers need to be aware of the extra width to prevent collisions, but mirrors can be folded when stationary to mitigate this issue. On the road, the mirrors provide excellent visibility, prioritizing safety over compactness.

While the Huracan Performante Spyder impresses with its dynamic performance and striking looks, its compact dimensions and low height (1180 mm or 46.5 inches) can make everyday driving challenging, especially for city driving and parking. Limited luggage space of 100 liters restricts practicality. However, its relatively contained length (4506 mm) and width (1924 mm without mirrors) allow it to be maneuverable compared to larger supercars. It's more suited for leisure driving than daily commuting.

The Performante Spyder variant builds upon the base Huracan Spyder by adding a higher-performance 5.2-liter V10 engine with around 640 horsepower, making it more powerful and faster. Aerodynamic improvements using carbon fiber elements improve downforce while reducing weight. Exclusive suspension tuning and lightweight parts contribute to better lap times and sharper handling. Visually, the Performante features more aggressive styling including larger air intakes and rear wing. These upgrades make it a more track-focused yet road-legal convertible.
