Butch Appearance

The production Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato is based on the perennial entry-level sportscar. There are a few key changes to make it more suitable for heading off the beaten path. Ground clearance has been increased by 44 mm compared with the Huracán Evo. The front (+30 mm) and rear (+34 mm) tracks have also been widened.

Furthermore, there is aluminium front underbody protection, reinforced sills, a rear diffuser and extended wheelarches. The wider arches cover bespoke run-flat Bridgestone Dueler AT002 tyres. The footwear measures 235/40 R19 at the front and 285/40 R19 at the rear. An air intake located on the rear hood helps supply the engine with clean air when driving on dusty tracks. 

Off-Road Mode

The Huracan Sterrato has an updated version of the LDVI (Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics) system with a recalibration of the Strada (highway) and Sport modes. In addition there is a rally mode for low-grip conditions.

The production Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,4 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 260 km/h.
