When you think of LamborghiniWhen you think of the Huracan Sterrato, you immediately imagine a supercar skimming along the asphalt, roaring down a mountain road or hurtling along a racetrack. But the Huracan Sterrato was born to break codes. And in Mexico, one owner decided to put it to the test in an environment few would associate with a Lamborghini: mud and deep water.
A Lamborghini Huracan that's off the beaten track
Sterrato" literally means "dirt road" in Italian. True to its name, this extreme version of the Huracan was designed for off-road adventure. It benefits from increased ground clearance (170 mm vs. 125 mm for the classic version), reinforced suspension, body protectors and air intakes adapted to dust and splashes. The Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tires are much closer to those of a 4×4 than those of a conventional supercar.
Under the hood, the engine remains that of a true Lamborghini: a 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 developing 610 hp, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and reaching 260 km/h.
The test of Mexico
In the Sonora region of northwestern Mexico, one owner decided to push his Sterrato to the limit. In a video that has gone viral, the supercar is seen hurtling through muddy puddles, crossing deep ruts and even disappearing under water for a few moments. Behind it, a Jeep Wrangler seems almost to serve as a broom wagon.
The spectacle is astonishing: this Lamborghini, usually destined for dry, sunny roads, behaves with surprising ease in conditions where most supercars wouldn't even dare to venture.
Sterrato is already a rare collector's item
Experience proves that the Sterrato is no mere exercise in marketing style. It's capable of going "where no Lamborghini has gone before" (with the possible exception of the Urus SUV). But there's no need to run to your local dealer: all 1,499 examples produced were snapped up before leaving the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory.
Today, if you're dreaming of parking one in your garage, there's only one option left: the second-hand market... provided that an owner is willing to part with his or her toy, acquired from 315,000 euros, and often much more with options.
