At the end of spring 2019, the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato was unveiled as a concept. A basic sampling of the capabilities of the Italian brand’s smallest bull, turned into a crossover. Although it appeared that everything would stay simple, the leak of the commercial name now indicates an aim for the sports car’s final touch.
It’s hard to image a Lamborghini Huracán turned into a crossover cruising the streets, but stranger things have happened, even during tuning preparations.
Despite the fact that it would be a bold move on the side of the Italian company, the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato is showing indications of becoming a reality, at least more than two and a half years after its concept debut.
The Huracán was dressed in special colors and adopted an aesthetic that was not appropriate for a model in its category at the end of spring 2019, as those of Sant’Agata Bolognese advanced one of the most strident concept cars in recent years, as the Huracán not only dressed in special colors, but also adopted an aesthetic that was not appropriate for a model in its category features the customary SUV details: black plastics for the wheel arches, a higher height from the body to the ground, and the normal aluminum coverings for the crankcase and rear exhaust system, as well as an extra lighting system on the top and front bonnet.
The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato is a versatile sports crossover.
Given that the Lamborghini Huracán’s commercial existence is nearing an end, and that its replacement is already planned for 2024, now is the optimum moment for the special editions to arrive. The case of Hurricane Sterrato, about which Mauricio Reggiani, the firm’s technical director, indicated the prospect of a limited and exclusive edition a few days after its publication, has resurfaced after the release. of this trade name in full in the European patent register.
Thus, the two years between the introduction of the access model to the manufacturer’s range and the launch of its replacement are more than exceptional, because if the Reggiani concept is realized, the Bologna manufacturer will be able to launch a limited-edition series with far fewer units than the 500 originally planned, ensuring supreme exclusivity. Where they will not save costs is in the pricing, which has been estimated to be over 240,000 Euros.
The fact that this leak was discovered two and a half years later could be a coincidence, or it could be that it was produced by Lamborghini before something else was revealed: that the Huracán Sterrato is completely sold to the brand’s most discerning customers following an internal act, which would not be surprising either. As a result, the coming months will be more than interesting.
The Sterrato idea is inspired on the Huracán Evo, which features a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 640 horsepower. By anticipating the driver’s behavior and therefore providing flawless driving dynamics, the LDVI (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata) integrated driving dynamics system regulates the Sterrato’s systems, including all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, modified wheel suspension, and torque vectoring.
The Sterrato’s LDVI system, which is tuned for usage in low-grip terrain and surfaces and suited for maximum drive and acceleration, improves rear-wheel drive behavior and ensures more torque, as well as more stability during oversteer movements.
Off-road tires and wide fenders
At the front and back, the Sterrato’s underbody has reinforcements and underrun protection components. The front frame is reinforced with aluminum, the side skirts are reinforced as well, and protective grilles shield the engine compartment and air inlets from entering stones. An LED light bar on the top and two LED floodlights on the front bumper make up the LED light kit for off-road use.
A titanium roll cage, four-point seat belts, adjustable carbon seat shells, and aluminum floor panels were added to the cabin for off-road use.
By the way, off-road Lamborghinis are nothing new. Lamborghini experimented with a combination of high-performance attributes and off-road mobility with the Jarama and Urraco as early as the 1970s. The 1973 Jarama Rally and the 1974 Urraco Rally were transformed by Lamborghini test driver Bob Wallace into high-performance desert supercars.
Flow of air with fins
A distinct STO feature: a redesigned air duct that improves the whole airflow, from the cooler flow to aero parts and wheel arch ventilation to the rear spoiler, while taking greater account of congestion and negative pressure zones. This massive object has a flatter side to better absorb air movement and can be modified in three stages. The fin with air intake in the lamellar trunk lid is one of the most prominent. That not only looks very fast, but it actually improves high-speed stability while also somewhat increasing crosswind sensitivity.
A somewhat wider track and sticky tires, but most importantly, highly calibrated rear axle steering, which aids in simulating hardware kinematic changes. Changes to the damper setup, stiffer stabilizers, the electronically controlled diff, and a better responsiveness to the gas are also noteworthy.
Broadband is a good choice for the inside as well. Reduced by the no-frills carbon door panels, handle straps, or updated display graphics, such as the brake temperature. And redesigned seats that tuck the driver’s back into the cushioned shell, precisely holding the entire body in place while the rearview mirror focuses on the new, integrated cage. This is exactly how a STO should be. Who can still be velvety: in rain mode as safely as possible, conditioned to safely transport his people to their goal notwithstanding the weather?
