Every vehicle on the market has a main purpose. In many of them it is difficult to find it because of how balanced (and flat) they are, seeking to please everyone. However, with supercars like the Lamborghini Huracán things are clearer. Its radicalism and performance make it a specimen that manages to exalt emotions on the road with exemplary performance on the track… and also off it? It seemed inconceivable, but the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato He wants to change our perception.
It used to be thought that a truly sporty model was never going to be effective off-road due to its construction, although manufacturers They wanted to prove the opposite in the last times. Following a concept similar to the one we saw in the Porsche 911 Dakar, the people from Sant’Agata have created a model that maintains its sporting point of view while introducing a completely new adventurous spirit. For this, he had to increase ground clearance by 44mmas well as the track widths (+30 mm at the front and +34 mm at the rear).
It was also very important to guarantee the integrity of its bodywork, which is why they have been installed aluminum protections in the lows. Some specific elements of this Huracán Sterrato are the robust wheel arches, the reinforced sills or the new rear diffuser. The already characteristic air intake on the rear hood now also serves to get clean air to the engine when driving on dusty tracks. To face those terrains he also receives the Rally driving modewhich joins the Strada and Sport in the LDVI system.
On a mechanical level, the truth is that it does not change. The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato maintains the 5.2 liter naturally aspirated V10 like the other versions. It is linked to a seven- speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, as well as all-wheel drive and a mechanical rear limited-slip differential. It develops 610 CV and 560 Nm of torque, more or less in the average of the model. In this case, outstanding performance is maintained when accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 260 km/h.
Another element that could not be missing in a model with a vocation for off road driving are specific tires. Hurricane Sterrato rides about Bridgestone Dueler AT002 made exclusively for him on 19-inch wheels. It also maintains the carbon-ceramic brake system with 380 mm discs on the front axle (bitten by six-piston calipers) and 356 mm behind (with four-piston calipers). Inside it is dressed in the specific upholstery Alcantara Verde Sterrato and releases some graphics and features for off-road driving.
It goes without saying that the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato is a limited edition model. I only know they will make 1,063 unitswhich will begin to be manufactured from February 2023. Nothing has been said about the price yet…
