You may have thought you've seen it all when it comes to the car world, but there is a new niche: that of jacked-up exotic machines. It comprises only two models, the Porsche 911 Dakar and the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, both of which are being built in limited numbers.
Celebrating the end of the line for the Lamborghini Huracan, the Sterrato, which is Italian for 'dirt road,' builds on the regular model, so it's not exactly a full-blown off-roader. It is more of a versatile take on the standard Huracan and the brand's third high-riding vehicle after the iconic LM002 and the popular Urus.
There aren't many modifications beneath the skin, but it features more inches between the road and its belly. It also has longer-travel shocks, dedicated wheels and tires, fender attachments with a bolt-on design that would make Liberty Walk jealous, and a few other things, including the rally-style auxiliary lights mounted on each side of the front emblem.
It may not break any speed records, but the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato won't make a fool of itself either. It needs almost three and a half seconds to push to sixty-two miles an hour (100 kph) and has a 160 mph (260 kph) top speed.

Mounted behind the seats is the same 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 shared with the rest of the Huracan series, which steams out 601 hp (610 ps/449 kW) and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque here. A seven-speed DCT delivers the thrust to the AWD with a mechanically controlled self-locking differential.
If you haven't bought one or secured a build slot, then you cannot do it anymore. Not when it comes to the Raging Bull's official dealer network, anyway, as they managed to sell the entire 1,499 copies that will ever be made. This is where the used car market comes in handy, as it remains the only way for a collector (and not only) to buy their very own Huracan Sterrato.
Were you somehow looking to spruce up your life with one? Well, then you're certainly in luck, as the pictured example is for sale. It features a gray exterior sprinkled with the black plastics typical of this model, has a black leather and suede cockpit with a few white accents, including the piping and double-stitching, and is in the possession of VDM Cars.
The jacked-up exotic machine is said to be available for shipping immediately, though it likely comes at a premium. By the way, the question popped in the title isn't rhetorical, as the vendor hasn't mentioned the Benjamins at all. Thus, if you find out how much it costs, feel free to drop a line below and share that information with us. So, how much would you pay to become the owner of this Sterrato?
