Sant’Agata Bolognese/Livigno - Italy 20 February 2023

The Huracán Sterrato[1] arrived in an exclusive ski resort in the Italian Alps, proving its prowess on snow and ice. Switching from road-driving modes to its special ‘rally’ option, the set-up of the permanent four-wheel drive Huracán Sterrato conquered the low-grip surfaces of the winter destination with a dynamic flourish.

The revised LDVI system (Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics) of the Huracán Sterrato delivers specifically-calibrated STRADA and SPORT drive settings for road, with the new RALLY mode optimized for dirt and loose surfaces including snow: another facet of the super sports car’s fun-to-drive personality. Its wider tracks and increased ride height made short shrift of the snowy setting, and the Sterrato’s Bridgestone Dueler AT002 run-flat tyres, specially-adapted for the all-terrain Huracán and rated for its top speed of 260 km/h, assured maximum performance in the wintery conditions. The aluminum front underbody, reinforced sills and rear diffuser, and enhanced wheel arches protected the Sterrato from icy obstacles, and emphasized its powerful muscularity in the challenging winter sports environment.

This car caught the attention of skiers and vacationers in its ice-cool winter whites of Bianco Phanes with details in Grigio Telesto and black carbon fiber including the reinforced wheel arches. Future owners of the Huracán Sterrato can also create their own unique sporty style from 350 external colours and more than 60 interior leather and Alcantara options through the Lamborghini Ad Personam personalization program.

The Huracán Sterrato’s 5.2-liter V10 engine delivers a maximum power output of 610 CV and 560 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, combined with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and electronically controlled all-wheel drive with rear mechanical self-locking differential. Designed to offer optimum performance on loose surfaces, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph).

Production of the 1,499 Huracán Sterrato super sports cars starts this month, with deliveries commencing early summer.
