Hi guys - first time posting, here. I just watched the second episode of the new Top Gear: America. It was moderately entertaining.

Can anyone help me to confirm? I have a friendly wager on with a buddy of mine who is a fellow Lambo owner.

In the episode, just prior to The Stig doing a hot lap in the white Huracan, Tom Ford states something like "while this car in the studio is the rear wheel drive version, we are testing the more powerful, all-wheel-drive version with The Stig".

Cut to the Stig lap, though, and clearly, the car The Stig is driving is the LESS powerful RWD Huracan - the front and rear bumpers are the typical RWD (formerly called LP580) bumpers, and most telling, is right at the beginning of the lap, there is a close up of the front brake rotor, which show a cross-drilled, steel rotor. The AWD Spyder (formerly called LP610) has carboceramics as standard.


Several times during the lap, Tom Ford states that it is the AWD version. I say it can't be.


Thanks for any input, here, gents! Cheers!!
