Diogo Jota or Andre Silva Were Driving Lamborghini Huracan That Goes 202 MPH

With the news that Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were killed in a fiery crash in a Lamborghini, there's interest in the type of model.

It's not clear whether Jota or Silva was driving the Lambo, but some experts have teased out a possible model: A Huracan. That model, an EVO Spider, can reach 202 miles per hour, according to the Lamborghini website.

The New York Times initially reported that one of the brothers was driving a Lamborghini Urus, but then updated its story to flatly explain: "It was a Lamborghini Huracan."

The brothers were buried on July 5 at a funeral in Portugal. Heartbreaking photos showed their wives at their coffins.

El Mundo America teased out the likely model by examining the wreckage in photos. That site reported the car was likely a "Huracán model, according to the only recognizable feature after the accident: the rims."

The car was virtually obliterated by the fire and crash, according to photos on Getty Images. But El Mundo America reported that the "little intact structure would rule out it being an Urus, a model also popular among footballers but much larger."

Daily Mailcame to the same conclusion, reportingthat the brothers were in an "acid green £180,000 Lamborghini Huracan when they crashed." That's more than $211,000.

Car and Driver says recent models can exceed $249,000.

Although the crash near Zamora, Spain, is still under investigation, a blown tire and possibly speed have been listed as possible causes. However, the latter is not proven as the investigation continues.

According to Daily Mail, the Lamborghini's model is suggested by the "wreckage" at the scene, which leads experts to believe it was likelya Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder.

The Lamborghini website describes the Evo Spider as lending itself to "extreme driving."

"The Huracán EVO Spyder lets one experience the thrill of extreme driving. Colors, smells and sounds meld with a seductive design and ultra-light materials," the site says. "The 640 hp naturally aspirated V10 engine roars with authority, as the exhaust announces the presence of a formidable machine. The aerodynamic lines of the super sports car, perfectly streamlined, slice through the air."

That vehicle "can go from 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds," Daily Mail reported.
