In a billionaire’s playground a $201,000 supercar is an inexpensive toy, but you can’t measure the fun of the new rear-drive Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2 in dollars. In fact, if anything, less is more with the new entry-level Lambo.
How is it that a spin around a rarely-used Moto GP track in a car costing less than one-fifth that of a world-beater like the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari—fairly common sights in a place like Doha, Qatar, where I drove the new rear-drive Huracán—could hold more excitement and allure than the most hyper of hypercars? Because when you forget about lap times and focus on the fun, you pare the driving experience down to what really matters—and what matters ain’t fancy batteries and double-ton top speeds.
