Released in November 2022, Sterrato is the final and arguably craziest evolution of Lamborghini Huracan. The limited-edition coupe is not expected to enter production until February 2023, but auto blog had to test it in the flesh at a preview event held in Denmark.
Huracán’s first all-terrain variant looks great as well in Official image of Lamborghini. A close-up view of it reveals some of the nicer design details that the press shots don’t, such as the subtle “Sterrato” logo on both roof rails and the exposed latches held on to the wheel arches. . I also had to look into the engine bay to see the other side of the roof-mounted intake system.
When Huracán STO There is also a roof-mounted scoop, which is used to direct the flow of cooling air into the engine compartment. Rouven Mohr, the head lamborghini research and development department, tell Autoblog that his team re-imagined the spoon as the intake system inlet after realizing that dust clogged the air filter through the stock side-mounted intake system. While that’s not a big deal to traffic in Los Angeles, it’s important to get off the sidewalk because Sterrato’s purpose isn’t to crawl over rocks; it is designed to run very quickly on unpaved surfaces.
“The purpose of it is to cross the terrain fast,” Mohr told me. “In my opinion, off-road you always go a little slow and climb somewhere. This is not the intention; this car can also climb slopes but its intention is to go sideways on gravel, racing style.”
In miniature, the Sterrato is another race car with the look of a race car. It is significantly taller than other Huracán variants and looks even taller in person in the photo. If you see it in the right light, you can spot some underbody hardware between the wheels and arches despite the thick tires. The side panels and rear diffuser have also been made more off-road ready.
We’ll need patience to find out how the Sterrato drives, but it’s a recipe for fun on paper. It is powered by a version of the STO’s 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine that produces 610 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 417 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm. minute; The revised intake system is responsible for the 21 hp drop. Lamborghini cites a 3.4-second sprint time from 0 to 62 mph and a top speed of 162 mph.
The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato is limited to 1,499 pieces globally and once out of stock, they will disappear; Mohr confirmed that a convertible version of the car is not available. Act fast if you want: I bet the whole operation will be quick.
