Lamborghini
Huracan Sterrato
The
first all-terrain super sports car with V10 engine and all-wheel drive
makes its debut at Miami Art Basel
Sant’Agata Bolognese,
November 30, 2022 – Automobili Lamborghini presents the new Huracán
Sterrato[1] at Art Basel, Miami Beach: the first super sports car designed
for maximum driving pleasure even away from the asphalt on loose or dirt
surfaces, reinterpreting the very concept of sportiness and emphasizing
the brand principles of brave, authentic and unexpected.
“True to our
values as a visionary, bold and unconventional brand, with the Sterrato
we are breaking new ground in driving sensations,” commented Stephan
Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman and CEO. “Presenting the car at
Art Basel in Miami reflects how, just like an avant-garde work of art,
the Sterrato represents a radical and original interpretation of the super
sports car concept but, in terms of performance, the Sterrato belongs
in the world’s most dynamic and exciting driving environments.”
The Huracán
Sterrato offers optimized driving dynamics for perfect control in all
environments, from the highway to dirt roads. Compared with the Huracán
EVO, the Sterrato comes with an updated version of the LDVI (Lamborghini
Integrated Vehicle Dynamics) system, with specific STRADA and SPORT calibrations,
and bringing the RALLY mode for low-grip conditions to the Huracán
line for the first time.
“With the high-speed
all-terrain concept of the Sterrato, we have uniquely combined the driving
experience of a true super sports car and the fun of driving a rally car,”
explained Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer. “Lamborghini
cars always deliver emotion: the Sterrato delivers a new degree of driving
thrills.”
The exterior expresses
the adventurous spirit of the Sterrato right from the first glance. The
ground clearance has been increased by 44 mm compared with the Huracán
EVO to ensure greater suspension travel, as has the front (+30 mm) and
rear (+34 mm) track widths. Furthermore, in addition to protecting the
car body, the aluminum front underbody protection, the reinforced sills,
the rear diffuser and the sturdy wheel arches all emphasize its muscularity.
The classic air intake located on the rear hood not only enhances the
sporting spirit of the model, but also helps supply the engine with clean
air when driving on dusty tracks.
“The Sterrato
is testimony to how the Lamborghini design DNA works perfectly even with
unexpected proportions,” stated Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini Head
of Design. “The Sterrato’s design translates its super sports
car heritage into a new lifeform, reflecting its specific intent to deliver
a truly unique and fun driving experience”.
The Huracán
Sterrato comes with a 5.2-liter V10 engine with maximum power output of
610 CV and 560 Nm of torque (at 6500 rpm), combined with 7-speed dual-clutch
transmission and electronically controlled all-wheel drive with rear mechanical
self-locking differential. Designed to offer optimum performance on unpaved
and sandy surfaces, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (ca. 60 mph) in
3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h (ca. 160 mph).
The car is fitted
with brakes with aluminum fixed monoblock calipers with six pistons (front)
and four pistons (rear) and ventilated and cross-drilled carbon-ceramic
discs with 380 mm diameter and 38 mm thickness at the front and 356 mm
diameter and 32 mm thickness at the rear. It comes with 19” rims
fitted exclusively with custom-engineered Bridgestone Dueler AT002 tyres,
providing maximum versatility and adaptability for any condition and surface
while contributing to the feeling, emotion and fun to drive of the car:
tires measure 235/40 R19 at the front and 285/40 R19 at the rear, incorporating
run-flat technology which, in case of puncture, guarantees drive minimum
80km at 80kph with 0 pressure. These bespoke Bridgestone tyres have been
designed to match 100% car DNA, including an innovative pattern design
and a cutting edge compound which provide a perfect grip both on gravel
and tarmac while keeping an excellent handling and high speed performance.
The interiors, characterized
by the exclusive Alcantara Verde Sterrato upholstery, reflect the “feel
like a pilot” philosophy traditionally adopted for the Huracán
line, which places the driver at the center of the passenger compartment
for the ultimate driving experience and absolute control of all the car’s
features. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) has new graphics and special
driving features; for the first time, the instruments feature a digital
inclinometer with pitch and roll indicator, a compass, geographic coordinate
indicator, and steering angle indicator.
Among the on-board
services, Lamborghini Connect includes integration with Amazon Alexa to
adjust car features such as air conditioning and lighting, as well as
control the navigation, phone calls and entertainment with a simple voice
command. The car can also be controlled remotely via the Lamborghini UNICA
app with, for example, remote speed monitoring and the sending of a destination
directly to the navigation system.
The Huracán
Sterrato comes with a connected telemetry system which allows the driver
to monitor performance and analyze the data via the UNICA app; Apple Watch
users can also synchronize their heart rate information with the on-board
telemetry system[2] to measure their driving performance. The Lamborghini
Drive Recorder is also available to record experiences at the wheel. It
allows the driver to video the most exciting driving moments, enhancing
the Board Diaries feature: the digital memory book integrated into the
Lamborghini UNICA app.
The new Huracán
Sterrato offers almost unlimited possibilities for customizing the appearance
of the car: thanks to the Lamborghini Ad Personam program, customers can
choose from 350 external colors and over 60 colors for the leather and
Alcantara interiors.
The limited-edition
production of 1499 units will start in February 2023.
