Lamborghini Huracan drop-top boosted

The Lamborghini Huracan Spyder LP 610-4 is not a slow car. Its 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 and all-wheel drive system propels it to 100km/h in a scorching 3.4 seconds.

But when your exotic $471,000 Lamborghini convertible no longer seems fast, you can now take it to German tuning house Novitec Torado, which will supercharged it to add an extra 400Nm of torque.

Unaltered, the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder pumps out 449kW and 560Nm, but the Novitec team's fettling ramps that up to 633kW and 960Nm -- an increase of 184kW and 400Nm – which ain't chump change.

Novitec doesn't go into details concerning the engine mods, but it's fair to say this is not a simple bolt-on system.

In pure performance terms that should be enough herbs to see the Lambo boogie to 100km/h in around three seconds flat, which is getting mighty close to hypercar territory, but Novitec hasn’t released official performance figures.

The standard Lamborghini Huracan Spyder has top speed of 324km/h, and it boggles the mind to think where the Novitec machine will top out.

A special exhaust system with active butterfly valves makes the engine's voice louder but it's not just the powertrain that gets the good stuff. The chassis benefits from upgrades too, with sports springs dropping the already low car another 35mm closer to the road.

The Italian roadster can be clad with a number of aero enhancements that, according to the tuning house, "lends the two-seater an even more spectacular outfit with strikingly styled and efficient aerodynamic-enhancement components".

A new front spoiler with central front blade and side flaps can be seen up front, and the rear engine deck is also new, with re-sculpted side air ducts and bolder side skirts.

The rear diffuser and lip spoiler are new and a large rear airfoil is optionally available if you want to turn heads. If your budget allows, all these aero parts – which have been wind tunnel-tested, can also be had in carbon-fibre if your budget allows.

But if you really want to make a statement, the custom-made forged wheels with colour-coded accents and carbon finishes on the outer rim will be just the ticket.

Lastly, the German tuner can also tizzy up the Lamborghini's angular, exotic interior with "practically any colour imaginable ... using the finest leathers and Alcantara". So green on green with green highlights then?
