Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato (2023) Price & Specs

Hoping to bag 1 of the few Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato units headed to SA? Well, here’s how much you’ll pay for the firm’s V10-powered “all-terrain” supercar…

The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato was revealed at the tail end of 2022, billed as an “all-terrain” supercar designed to tackle both tarmac and gravel roads (yes, just like its Volkswagen Group cousin, the Porsche 911 Dakar). Though just 1 499 units will be produced, a few are indeed destined for South Africa … and we now know the starting price.

Courtesy of a tip from the in-the-know vehicle-information specialists over at duoporta.com, we have confirmation the all-paw Huracán Sterrato will be priced from R6 625 000, a figure that includes a standard 3-year DrivePlan. Should you wish to upgrade to 5-year cover, the starting price is pushed to R6 825 000.

At the same time, Lamborghini’s local distributor appears to have re-introduced the Huracán Evo RWD derivative (now priced from R5 200 000), along with the Spyder version (which, at R6 750 000, is actually a little more expensive than the Sterrato).

Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato — *The Huracán Sterrato scores an extra 44 mm of ground clearance.*

As a reminder, the Huracán Sterrato is powered by the Italian automaker’s naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine, which here sends 449 kW and 565 Nm to all 4 wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (and benefits from a mechanical self-locking differential at the rear, too). Lamborghini claims the Sterrato is capable of completing the 0-100 kph sprint in just 3.4 seconds, before running out of steam at 260 kph (a figure likely hindered somewhat by the standard all-terrain tyres).

Compared with the Huracán Evo, the newcomer’s ground clearance has been hiked by 44 mm, while the front and rear track widths grow by 30 mm and 34 mm, respectively. The Sant’Agata Bolognese-based firm’s designers have furthermore added aluminium underbody protection, reinforced sills, a rear diffuser and prominent wheel-arch extensions, along with additional LEDs on the front end, roof rails and a scoop feeding clean air to the rear-mounted atmospheric engine.

The braking system comprises aluminium fixed monoblock callipers with 6 pistons fore and 4 pistons aft, along with ventilated and cross-drilled carbon-ceramic discs. The latter measure 380 mm in diameter and have a 38 mm thickness at the front, complemented by 356 mm-diameter and 32 mm-thick items at the rear.

Those hefty brakes are framed by 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in bespoke Bridgestone Dueler AT002 tyres that measure 235/40 R19 fore and 285/40 R19 aft. These tyres furthermore feature run-flat technology, which Lamborghini says “guarantee” a minimum of 80 km of travel at 80 kph with absolutely zero pressure.

In addition, the Huracán Sterrato features an updated version of the so-called “Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics” system, replete with model-specific Strada and Sport calibrations. It also gains a new Rally mode designed for “low-grip conditions”.

The cabin features Alcantara Verde Sterrato upholstery, along with new graphics for the infotainment system. The driver even scores a digital inclinometer complete with pitch-and-roll indicator, a compass, geographic co-ordinate indicator and steering-angle indicator.
