This is the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato; a supercar transformed into a off-roader.
As arguably the silliest cars I’ve ever driven, I do not feel compelled to offer practical insights. All I plan to do in this video is talk about what the Sterrato is like to drive in 3 places. Street, track, & dirt.
First, some context. The Sterrato is an Huracan that’s been lifted 1.73 inches, widened a bit more than an inch front and rear, and restyled as a rally car dream machine.
The nose has been reworked for a better approach angle. Plus, who doesn’t love rally lights? Lower, there’s aluminum front underbody protection. The fenders received cladding as the off-road gods command. Up top there are adorable little roof rails. And there’s a high-mounted air intake, which should help minimize ingestion of dusty air by the engine.
The Sterrato employs a 5.2-liter V10 (602 hp, 413 lb-ft) whose output is directed through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission to an all-wheel drive system with a locking rear differential. For tires, Bridgestone developed 19-inch Dueler AT002 run flats exclusively for this weird, supercar all-terrain application.
Here’s the 0-60 time (0-60 MPH: 3.4 sec). Here’s the top speed (Top Speed: 161 MPH). And here’s the price tag (Base Price: $273,177 plus dest). That’s probably enough details for now. I’m sure you’re wondering what the Huracan Sterrato is like to drive.
To be clear, the ride is objectively firm, especially over chattery tarmac. But among supercars, the Sterrato’s road manners are perfectly tolerable.
Still feels like driving a Huracan…a Raptor this is not.
But exuding supercar vibes at comparatively casual street speeds is the easy part. Does the Huracan Sterrato fall apart on a racetrack?
No, it does not.
You might not expect it but, on tarmac, the Bridgestone Dueler tires offer plenty of grip for a good time. Even better, when you exceed their limits, the tires slip in a very controllable way. Some supercars are scary to drive quickly. The Sterrato is not.
Sure, an Huracan on race tires would be faster around a racetrack. But would it be more fun? I’m doubtful.
The Sterrato might be dirt-capable, but it still does all the things you’d like an Huracan to do on a track. It corners swiftly, it brakes hard, and it sounds brilliant.
By the way, I kind of expected the track and dirt drives to be separate events. They were not. Like a proper rally stage, Lamborghini combined multiple surfaces into a single event. Let’s carry on.
Rally mode smartly apportions torque via the all-wheel drive system to help sustain power-on drifts both mid-corner and when exiting. And the mode allows plenty of slip angle on corner entry, for those of us who use a rally-style left foot braking technique to set up our turns.
Do you think I’m having fun? You guys, I’m having fun!!!
And this is the moment, it all came together for me. If you feel differently that’s ok but I’ve been reviewing cars for a long time and, honestly, the concept of “automobile as status object” is dead for me. For better or worse, my sense of self-worth isn’t going to improve with Lambo keys in my pocket. okk
But using a car to facilitate fun, novel experiences…oh, now we’re talking.
You’re leaving a lot of joy on the table if buy an Huracan Sterrato just to inspire envy in strangers. Recasting a super car as rally car is a ludicrous idea…and I adore it. The Sterrato isn’t just fast. It is fun. Like…stupid fun.
In the interest of objectivity, I should dig up some criticism. Uh…let’s see. Oh, the position of the drive mode selector makes it hard to quickly change modes while driving. One more…uh…got it. They’re only making 1,500 of these things. Around 500 are coming to America. And they’re pretty much already sold out. Also, even if the Sterrato weren’t sold out, I still couldn’t afford one.
With those manufactured complaints lodged, I’m going to wrap with this. Admiration is fleeting. But deeply engaged play, like what you can do flinging the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato around on dirt…that’s the kind of joy that endures.
I will never have the funds to buy a Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. But if I did, I’d buy one in an instant. And I would drive the piss out of it.
