Lamborghini has actually pulled the cover off the most recent version of its Huracán supercar and– as you may anticipate– it’s blisteringly quick and roars with the power of the Raging Bull. The brand-new Huracán Sterrato, nevertheless, remains in an entire brand-new classification: It’s constructed for off-roading.
Wait, what? Taking a quarter-million-dollar supercar off-road and getting it all scuffed up appears as sensible as using a costly set of Italian leather shoes for a treking journey. Cover your head around it, due to the fact that it will be exposed on November 30 in Miami, Florida. This brand-new design is called properly, too: Sterrato is “dirt roadway” in Italian.
A supercar made to get unclean
Back in 2019, Lamborghini began teasing out info about the Huracán Sterrato with a principle automobile powered by the exact same 640- hp 5.2-liter hand-built engine from the present Huracán Evo cut. A lot of variations of the Huracán, consisting of the latest Tecnica design (which sits simply listed below the Evo on the design’s rate scale), are crafted to grip asphalt and display its expertise on twisty roadways with a low center of mass. The Sterrato will be more than a little additional.
