Some say supercars need flashy hues, as that's the best way to make them even more visible in the plethora of white, black, and gray mainstream vehicles. A small percentage believes aftermarket body kits like those Mansory makes, are a well-deserved upgrade.
And while we tend to agree with the lively hues, we think all supercars look better stock than tuned. Also, if you feel the urge to spend a small fortune on tuning yours, assuming you're fortunate enough to own one, then at least settle for a new wheelset and tint those windows. Other work should only revolve around the engine, not that these rides need an extra oomph, but because it's nice to know you're capable of smoking a Bugatti if you ever come face to face with one.

There's no perfect recipe for turning your ride, whether exotic or not, into something even more exciting to look at or drive. But if it is one thing that most of us can agree on, it is that most machines look great with an all-black design, and so does the pictured Lamborghini Huracan STO. The supercar features a black finish and all-black wheels that HRE made. And if you think there's an aero kit over there, too, due to the large wing, roof scoop, fat side skirts, and vented front hood, you're wrong, as that's how the Huracan STO looks like without any mods.

The clever aero helps improve the performance of the Sant'Agata Bolognese model, which is often regarded as a Super Trofeo for the road, giving it a racecar-like stance. Mounted in the middle, behind the seats, is the same V10 engine that powers the entire Huracan lineup. The naturally aspirated 5.2-liter mill is good for 631 hp (640 ps/471 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 417 pound-feet (565 Nm) of torque. The sonorous and punchy mill is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that delivers everything to the rear wheels. Lamborghini says the zero to sixty-two miles per hour (0-100 kph) acceleration takes only three seconds and that this exotic can max out at 193 mph or 310 kph.

In case you forgot, Lamborghini's entire Huracan family is completely sold out until the end of production, as its successor is around the corner. We've seen a few prototypes of the yet-unnamed supercar, which is rumored to pack an electrified V8, testing in the open. The electrified model is due at the end of next year, according to CEO Stephan Winkelmann. As for the Huracan STO, if you're lucky, then you could land a great example at a premium on the used car market. The model used to start at nearly $340,000 in the United States when it was still available, including destination, and it's not uncommon to see copies listed for over $400k.
