Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato is a 610hp dirt track sports car
The new Huracan Sterrato gets new Rally mode and unique paint finish
After being teased in camouflaged livery since 2019, Lamborghini has finally unveiled the Huracan Sterrato to the public. The Italian carmaker showcased the Huracan Sterrato at the Art Basel in Miami today whilst also spilling out the technical specifications of the off-road-centric super sports car.
The Huracan Sterrato gets limited to 1499 units only. Apart from the necessary off-road-spec tweaks made to the body, such as higher ground clearance and wider front and rear tracks, the Lamborghini supercar also gets a new Rally mode for dirt roads and gravel paths, a first in the Huracan.
Additional shielding in the form of aluminium underbody protection and reinforced sills have been injected into the Huracan Sterrato. And as the Sterrato is believed to run on dirty rough patches consistently, Lamborghini has incorporated a roof-mounted air intake to allow the engine to breathe cleaner air. The wheels are also 19-inch alloys instead of the standard 20-inch wheels on the Huracan AWD to aid ride comfort on rougher terrain.
The Sterrato is tuned to produce 610hp and 560Nm torques, 30hp and 40Nm less than the standard AWD model while using the same 5.2-litre, naturally aspirated V10 engine. As the Sterrato’s is aimed to tackle rougher terrain, the powertrain output is deliberately kept on the low. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission sends power to all four wheels, but a mechanical self-locking differential manages power at the rear.
Even though straight-line performance isn’t exactly the forte of the Huracan Sterrato, Lamborghini claims it’ll still do 0-100kph in 3.4secs and top out at 260kph. That makes it half a second slower at the sprint, with a 60 kph reduction in top speed.
But that doesn’t stop the Sterrato from getting unique paint schemes for itself, a satin-finished khaki paint shade for the exterior. The usual off-road treatment of embedding more lights, such as an LED light bar on the roof and a pair of the same on the bumper, has been carried out. The bumper gets reinforced with a stone guard, followed by the fitment of bolt-on rugged fender flares, chunkier side skirts and roof rails. The interior is identical to its asphalt-driven counterparts but features a new Alcantara Verde upholstery. The touchscreen also benefits from new graphics that display off-road-centric data, such as a compass and a digital inclinometer connected to a telemetry system for analysis.
