This Huracan is not your ordinary Huracan. It features a raised suspension and roof rails.
Is it the Urus SUV or a Lamborghini jacked up? It’s the Huracan-Sterrato. In June 2019, Sant’Agata Bolognese’s peeps explored the possibility of a more adventurous V10 supercar. They unveiled a all-terrain, mid-engined, all terrain concept with chunky styling and a raised suspension. This new batch of spy photos suggests that a production version will be released later in the year.
Lamborghini promises to reveal four new products this year. With the Aventador now retired, we will be seeing updates for the Huracan, Urus, and other models in 2022. There could be another one-off but it is likely that this supercharged machine will be available in the next twelve months. The prototype was caught in winter wonderland and clearly had more ground clearance. It is safe to assume that the test vehicle was equipped with an AWD system.
The front skid plate, roof rails and LED light bar are just a few of the unusual features that a Lambo has. The dual-inlet air scoop is located at the back of the louvers. It allows the naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter to run at optimal temperatures. The production version will likely use the same color brake calipers, so ignore the mismatched ones.
The prototype does not have the Sterrato-inspired chunky body cladding and large wheel arches. The production version should have bolt-on flares for the fenders. It’s also worth noting that the showcar was 40mm wider. For better approach and departure angles, it sat 47 millimeters (or 1.85 inches) higher than the production version. It rode on 20-inch wheels with meaty tires wrapped around them. Engineers calibrated the AWD system with a seven-speed dual-clutch, automatic transmission for better off-road performance.
Lamborghini did not mention a production version of the Huracan-based Sterrato concept, but it did say that it had made a functional prototype. Maurizio Reggiani, chief technical officer, stated that the Italian exotic car manufacturer could construct the car and make a good profit. He said that the car would be 3D-printed from a lightweight synthetic material and bolted to the body.
Rumours claim that a potential Sterrato would only be 500-1000 cars, at EUR240,000 per pop.
Lamborghini is not the only manufacturer of sports cars from the Volkswagen Group that will take the off-road route. Porsche is still months away from unveiling a Safarii derivative of its 911.
