About Lamborghini Lamborgini Huracan Sterrato
Transforming a supercar into an off-road vehicle was something that nobody could expect from Lamborghini, but that's exactly what the Italian car manufacturer did with the Sterrato version of the Huracan.
Lamborghini didn't have a great experience with off-road vehicles. Besides the old LM002 that was developed for the army and the Urus, which was based on the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne, the Sterrato was like nothing else. But still, Lamborghini pulled this idea to increase the ground clearance of a Huracan, adding some off-road-inspired features, and sell it to those who didn't want to stick to paved roads at all times. Furthermore, the car manufacturer even carried over a few ideas from the Huracan STO, which was mainly designed for track use.
Right off the bat, the Huracan Sterrato featured a radical front fascia that still sported the broad air intake on the lower side of the bumper. But unlike the rest of the range, it had an aluminum skid plate underneath to protect the underbody from scratches. Another unusual feature of the vehicle was the twin LED fog lamps that flanked the carmaker's raging bull logo placed on the hood.
From its profile, the higher ground clearance was raised by 40 mm (1.6 inches) compared to the rest of the Huracan range. Sure, that didn't allow it to pass some rough roads through a forest. But it was suitable for unpaved roads. Another unusual feature of the car was its roof rails. It was the only Huracan to have that. Behind the cabin, the scoop looked inspired by the Huracan STO, but in this case, the automaker installed it there so it wouldn't collect dust and dirt inside the engine. Finally, in the rear area, customers could find a broad diffuser, which was mostly useless due to the vehicle's high ground clearance. Another eye-catching detail was for the fenders, where the car manufacturer installed enlarging, unpainted protection around the wheel arches.
Customers found slim carbon fiber seats inside the cabin. These sports seats were made from carbon fiber and were padded in a few key areas. Fronting the driver was a flat-bottom, three-spoke steering wheel fitted with the Huracan-specific switch on the lower side, which controlled the three driving modes: Strada, Sport, and Rally. The center console also housed the 8.4-inch capacitive touchscreen for the infotainment, the HVAC, and the car's settings.
But the most significant part of the vehicle was its mid-mounted engine and the all-wheel drive configuration. The 5.2-liter V10 produced 610 PS (602 hp) that it sent in all corners via a seven-speed automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox. The entire setup was made so it could resemble the glorious era of the Group B rally, a category that Lamborghini never challenged.
