    2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder! After driving the Huracan Evo once and experiencing the V10 NA sound along with the in-your-face exotic looks and better tech (hooray apple carplay!) I immediately traded in the 488. I've driven the 488 and the Huracan Evo way over legal speeds and both accelerate like rocketships and are absolutely planted. They both also handle turns amazingly. I loved the 488 but the Huracan Evo is just a way more exciting and visceral driving experience for basically the same price.

    I also own a 992.1 Carrera 4s as my daily driver (GREAT and fast car - but not that exciting) and of course I had to have a Ferrari so I bought a 1997 355 spider with a gated manual. The 355 gives me a totally different but just as fun experience as the Huracan Evo. Sounds like an F1 car, gated shifter is heavenly, handles amazing on the turns. Not that fast but feels fast even at street legal speeds.

    Overall I'm very happy with my $500K garage.

    Congrats, does that V10 feel heavier in the back compared to the V8 turbo of the 488?

    The AWD Huracan Evo is faster off the line than the 488 but the 488 will pull harder over 100 mph. Both will hit 200 mph in similar times. The NA feel is definitely different than the Turbo, and sounds oh so much better.
