Snapshot
- Sterrato will be Lamborghini’s first off-road inspired supercar
- Prototype is less aggressive than previous concept
- Production could be limited to 500 units
You don’t often see a Raging Bull in the snow, but Lamborghini has changed that, with its off-road focused Huracan Sterrato spied testing in Europe.
Based on the concept car, which launched in 2019, the pre-production Sterrato is less aggressive than the original prototype, scaling down its flared wheel arches – but retaining the jacked-up ride height.
Rather than the twin LED light bars on the front bumper previously seen, the winter shots show off a single light bar mounted to the bonnet, although it seems to just be a temporary fix to the problem.
Pairing the sharp, angular front valance is a large skid plate, taking up more of the grille space than the one fitted to the original concept – perfect for bashing snow or sand out of the way without damaging the expensive composite materials.
While we’ve seen practical Lamborghinis towing a trailer, the Sterrato’s roof racks seem like the perfect addition for anyone who wants more storage space, with the manufacturer undoubtedly dreaming up how much it could charge for a roof pod.
Under the skin, it’s expected not many changes will be made to the dependable 5.2-litre V10 engine or the Huracan’s all-wheel drive system, although just where Lamborghini could fit a selector for its off-road modes remains to be seen.
Anticipated to be a limited-run model, initial expectations were for between 500 and 1000 units to be built at roughly €240,000 (AU$385,000) each, meaning any examples bound for Australia would be unlikely to squeeze in under the $500,000 asking price of a Huracan Evo.
