According to rumors, production would be restricted.
The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato that Sant’Agata’s automaker launched last week is not a unique concept. It was built by the company, and only a few people were allowed to take it out for a test drive. Automobile magazine’s Georg Kacher was one of those lucky boys who received more than just a seat in the high-riding Lamborghini. According to the publication the possibility that the Sterrato will move from concept to production seems closer than one might think. Maurizio Reggiani, Lamborghini’s chief tech officer, spoke openly about how the company could build the Sterrato and make a profit. Reggiani stated that the automaker would use 3D printers to produce the body parts. The body parts would be attached to the body using a lightweight synthetic material Reggiani developed. According to rumors, Lamborghini would only be able to make 500-1000 Sterratos.
Although it may seem odd for a famous supercar brand to move away from classic supercars, Porsche has been a pioneer in creating unconventional brand models to great success. Lamborghini’s Urus SUV has already made this sacrilegious leap, but the world still spins. The Sterrato isn’t a radical departure from the company. The Sterrato’s 640-horsepower Huracan Evo with its 5.2-liter V10 is hidden beneath the off-road cladding and raised suspension. Lamborghini increased the ride height and recalibrated the Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata, which controls four-wheel drive, torque vectoring, and other functions. Kacher estimates that the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato could cost around EUR240,000, or $270,000 at current exchange rates. Let’s look at it: It boasts supercar power, a high price tag, unique looks, and a limited production run. Yeah, it’ll sell.
