Sant’Agata
Bolognese, 18 November 2020 – Automobili Lamborghini presents
the Lamborghini Huracán STO - Super Trofeo Omologata: a road-homologated
super sports car inspired by the racing heritage of Lamborghini Squadra
Corse’s one-make race series with Huracán Super Trofeo
EVO, as well as its three-time 24 Hours of Daytona-winning and two-time
12 Hours of Sebring-winning Huracán GT3 EVO.
With
its V10 naturally aspirated 640 hp (470 kW) power plant producing 565
Nm at 6,500 rpm, the rear-wheel drive Huracán STO delivers exhilarating
acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 9.0 seconds
and a top speed of 310 km/h. However, its heart beats with the exhilaration
and emotion of a racecar. Superior aerodynamic efficiency, extensive
use of lightweight materials, unfettered steering and first-class braking
performance, ensure the Huracán STO delivers the emotion of a
track experience on every road drive.
“The
Huracán STO is the purest incarnation of Lamborghini Squadra
Corse heritage, directly transferring technologies from the Huracán
Super Trofeo EVO and drawing on the Huracán GT3 EVO’s unique
accomplishment of winning three consecutive times in the Daytona 24
hours,” said Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and CEO, Stefano
Domenicali. Maurizio Reggiani, Chief Technical Officer added: “The
Huracán STO delivers all the excitement of a beautifully balanced,
lightweight and aerodynamically superior super sports car, mirroring
the driving feeling and exhilaration of Super Trofeo, and perfectly
set up for the world’s most demanding tracks but created for the
road. The extensive technical solutions and intelligence gained from
both our Super Trofeo and GT3 programs has been refined and embodied
in the Huracán STO, allowing the pilot to experience the emotions
of a racing driver, daily, in a road-legal Lamborghini super sports
car able to take lap records.”
Aerodynamic
and lightweight superiority in super sports car design
The
Huracán STO sports an entirely new exterior design, revising
its inimitable Lamborghini profile to optimize airflow. Mitja Borkert,
Head of Design, says: “Racing cars are always a strong inspiration
for our design. The Huracán STO exquisitely reflects the technology
transfer from our successful Huracán race cars, displayed in
every aesthetic detail.”
Every
aspect of the Huracán STO draws on the aerodynamic efficiency
and lightweight technologies demanded in motorsports. The Huracán
STO embodies the principle that Lamborghini design always follows function:
even more valid for a street-homologated car inspired by a racecar.
The Huracán STO is the result of the collaboration between Lamborghini’s
R&D, Squadra Corse and Centro Stile departments, with every line
and every feature aesthetically outstanding while optimized to ensure
the best driving performance.
The
comprehensive aerodynamic solutions inspired by Squadra Corse racecars
maximize aerodynamic performance, the most important are:
Cofango
with air ducts, front splitter and louvers
The
front bonnet, fenders and the front bumper are comprised of one single
component: the ‘cofango’ created by Lamborghini engineers
combines the ‘cofano’ (hood) and ‘parafango’
(fender) including the front bumper, inspired by the Lamborghini Miura
and more recent Sesto Elemento. It is not only lightweight, but also
a timesaving access feature in motorsports.
New
air ducts on the front bonnet increase the airflow through the central
radiator to improve engine cooling as well as helping generate downforce.
The cofango also incorporates a new front splitter, directing airflow
to the newly designed underbody of the car and to the rear diffuser.
The
cofango is shaped to push the airflow on top of the front fenders, which
incorporate louvers to maximize airflow exiting from the wheelhouse,
reducing pressure inside and increasing the front downforce. The side
profile of the cofango directs airflow around the front wheels, reducing
drag.
Rear
fender with NACA air intake
A
new rear fender derived from the Super Trofeo EVO achieves both reduction
of the front area of the car and consequently the drag, while increasing
rear downforce and the car’s overall aerodynamic efficiency. A
NACA air intake integrated into the STO’s rear fender serves as
an engine air intake, with the shortened duct allowing a 30% decrease
in static pressure losses.
Rear
engine bonnet with air scoop
The
revised rear hood design features an integrated air scoop to improve
air-cooling at the rear underhood. Dedicated air deflectors, integrated
in the rear bonnet’s frame, manage the significant incoming airflow
from the snorkel according to the temperature regulation needs of the
engine and exhaust outlet.
Shark
fin
An
integrated ‘shark fin’ on the rear bonnet improves the dynamic
abilities of the STO, particularly when cornering: in such conditions
the incoming airflow has a yaw angle, and the different pressure levels
generated by the two sides of the fin create a positive effect on yaw
stability. The fin also helps straighten airflow onto the wing, increasing
wing efficiency during cornering.
Adjustable
rear wing
A
manual, easily adjusted aero set-up of the new rear wing optimizes aerodynamic
balance and drag resistance according to track characteristics. A single
slotted wing with double airfoil allows the front part of the airfoil
to rotate into three positions to enhance rear downforce. By reducing
the gap between the front and rear airfoil, compression is increased
on the upper side, upping the suction intensity and extension on the
bottom of the front airfoil. The aero balance of the car can thus fluctuate
by 13%, adapting the STO to different driving styles and conditions.
Brake
cooling for the highest performance
New
front brake cooling ducts are dedicated to cooling the discs and calipers
of the new CCM-R brakes, working in conjunction with the cofango air-louvers
that dispel hot air from the front wheelhouses. Additional air intakes
including on the underbody, and optimized nolders, are located at the
rear.
Aerodynamic
result
The
Huracán STO achieves the highest level of downforce in its class
with the best aero balance for a rear-wheel drive car, with delivery
of a superior aerodynamic load a key factor in its enhanced cornering
performance. Overall airflow efficiency is improved by 37% and a significant
downforce increase of 53% is reached over the Huracán Performante.
Lightweight
approach
The
Huracán STO uses carbon fiber in more than 75% of its exterior
panels, benefiting from complex structures produced as a single component
for increased integrity while also reducing weight via less fixing points.
Using
its expertise in lightweight technologies, for the rear fender Lamborghini’s
R&D department has adopted a carbon fiber ‘sandwich’
technique utilized in the aerospace industry. Thanks to this technology,
the Huracán STO uses 25% less carbon fiber material while maintaining
the same structural rigidity. At a dry weight of 1,339 kg, the Huracán
STO’s weight is reduced by 43 kg compared to the already lightweight
Huracán Performante.
The
Huracán STO incorporates a windscreen 20% lighter than the Huracán
Performante, and features magnesium rims for the highest strength-to-weight
ratio, saving further weight over aluminum alloys with the same load
factor.
The
magnesium rims are fitted with bespoke Bridgestone Potenza tires, available
in two versions: one road-focused, the other more track oriented.
The
Huracán STO – Lamborghini Squadra Corse at its heart
From
the moment, the engine is fired up, every aspect of the Huracán
STO, inside and out, stirs the soul of a racing driver. The Huracán
STO has at its heart the V10 aspirated engine of the Huracán
EVO and Super Trofeo, outputting 640 hp (570 kW) and 565 Nm of torque
at 6,500 rpm. With an increased wheel track, stiffer suspension bushing,
specific anti-roll bars and Lamborghini’s MagneRide 2.0, the STO
delivers all the emotion of a racecar while providing a comfortable
road experience. The engine has been calibrated for a very sporty and
responsive racing feel, with a direct pedal-to-throttle feeling and
improved engine sound sharpness at high revs. The gearchange speed has
been further increased to provide a highly responsive and rapid gearshift.
Lamborghini
rear-wheel steering, and a more direct and fixed steering ratio, has
been designed for a race environment and a more intimate relationship
between driver, car and track: the driver is fully in touch with the
asphalt with feedback on the car’s behavior at his fingertips.
Every aspect of the STO’s racing heritage and technology enhances
its ability to corner faster, maximizing grip on exit: the Huracán
STO is confirmation that races are won in corners rather than on straights.
Three
new ANIMA driving modes
Three
new driving modes exemplify the Huracán STO’s racing spirit,
focused on high performance driving environments: STO, Trofeo and Pioggia.
The default STO mode is for road driving and fun on curving roads. Every
aspect of the Lamborghini Veicolo Dinamica Integrata (LDVI) vehicle
dynamics system is optimized for all road conditions and coupled with
a road-oriented suspension setting. The fully active ESC can be switched
off for maximum driving fun while still supporting the driver.
In
Trofeo mode, all systems are optimized for dry asphalt and the fastest
lap times on track. The LDVI assures maximum performance through dedicated
torque vectoring and performance traction control strategies for both
straight sprints, in ESC ON mode, as well for lap timing, in ESC OFF.
The new Brake Temperature Monitoring (BTM) estimation algorithm allows
the driver to constantly check the braking system’s temperature,
and to manage wear of the system during its life cycle.
Pioggia
(rain) mode optimizes traction control, torque vectoring, rear-wheel
steering and the ABS on wet asphalt. Traction control and the braking
system are calibrated to minimize loss of grip and engine torque cut,
with the LDVI system employing precise estimation to deliver only the
torque needed in wet situations. The torque vectoring reflects the low
adhesion conditions and ensures better cornering, while the suspension
is calibrated to maximize grip and improve load transfer.
The
new CCM-R braking system
The
motorsports DNA of the Huracán STO is as evident in its braking
system. With Brembo CCM-R brakes drawing on materials expertise from
F1 applications to deliver superior durability, the CCM-R discs provide
four times higher thermal conductivity than traditional CCB. Stress
resistance is 60% higher, with maximum brake power improved by 25% and
longitudinal deceleration by 7%. This results in robust braking consistency
in all driving conditions: braking feels sporty, can be perfectly modulated,
and thus is optimized for track use.
The
Huracán STO interior – designed for purpose
The
interior of the Huracán STO reflects the lightweight persona
of the exterior: extensive use of carbon fiber features throughout the
cockpit, including sport seats in full carbon fiber; an Alcantara interior
with Lamborghini’s Carbonskin; carpets removed and replaced by
floor mats in carbon fiber; and the fully carbon fiber lightweight door
panels with a door latch as opener. A rear arch with four-point seatbelts
and a newly designed front trunk for helmet storage, underline the Huracán
STO’s racing DNA. The rear arch, developed in cooperation with
our Technical Partner Akrapovic, is made from high-grade titanium alloys.
It is 40% lighter than conventional stainless-steel rear arches.
New
Human Machine Interface (HMI) graphics feature on the Huracán’s
touch screen, which manages the car’s functions including drive
mode indicator, the LDVI system, tire pressures and brake temperatures.
A fully connected telemetry system allows pilots driving their Huracán
STO on racetracks to monitor and record their performance and to analyze
the data via the Lamborghini UNICA app.
Owners
of the Huracán STO can fully personalize both the exterior and
interior of their race car-on-the-road via a rich Ad Personam personalization
program, with limitless paint and trim combinations as well as race-style
vinyls. The concept of a personalized livery is inherent in the design
of the Huracán STO, just as Huracán Super Trofeo race
cars line up in their unique colors and designs on the starting grid.
The launch livery of Blu Laufey and Arancio California exemplifies the
Huracán STO’s young and sporty racing spirit.
