Is the normal Huracan not that exotic to you? Do you feel the need to leave the comfort of smooth tarmac behind occasionally? Lamborghini has you covered, as they launched a jacked-up version of the supercar, which adds the Sterrato suffix (Italian for dirt road).
In theory, the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato sounds like a peach. Unfortunately, since it doesn't trace its roots back to something iconic, like the Safari, when it comes to the rivaling Porsche 911 Dakar, it simply looks silly with extra ground clearance and plastic cladding on certain elements.
But those are not the only defining traits of the Huracan Sterrato, which also features roof rails meant to accommodate a roof box to enhance its hauling capability, a pair of lights attached to the nose, and wider front and rear tracks. The Strada and Sport driving modes were recalibrated, and the Rally joins them to improve traction off the beaten path. But it won't venture that far into the unknown, as it's still the same V10-powered rear mid-engined supercar that we all know.
The naturally aspirated 5.2-liter unit produces 601 horsepower (610 ps/449 kW) and 413 pound-feet (560 Nm) of torque. It's mated to a seven-speed DCT and electronically-controlled all-wheel drive with a mechanical self-locking differential. The Sant'Agata Bolognese exotic car maker says it needs 3.4 seconds from zero to sixty-two mph (0-100 kph), with the top speed standing at around 160 mph (260 kph).
For the wheels, Lambo gave it a 19-inch set, wrapped in 235/40 tires at the front and 285/40 at the rear. Back when you could still fully configure a Huracan Sterrato using the online tool, there were several alloy options for it, and all of them had 19 inches in diameter. In the meantime, however, wheel makers have started putting their (more or less pretty) sets on the jacked-up supercar. One of the latest that we stumbled upon on social media bears the signature of MV Forged, and between us, they're uglier than the ones normally equipping the model.
The pictured copy rides on a ten-spoke set finished in black and shod in Bridgestone tires, and due to the low resolution of the images shared by carlifestyle, it's impossible to tell the size. Nonetheless, we suspect they're a bit smaller than the ones on which the Sterrato normally rides, and if we were to bet on it, we'd say they measure 18 inches. Still, we could be wrong, as the size could be identical to the OEM offering, and they might seem smaller because of the pattern. With the lime green finish, the supercar looks like a high-visibility jacket, and we think the plastic cladding and jacked-up stance don't suit it all in this configuration.
