ITK Official, 2023 is the year of the ridiculous off-road supercar with Lamborghini finally unveiling its lifted, The 455kW, V10-powered Huracan Sterrato To duke it out with Porsche’s 911 Dakar.
Sterrato is a bold, angry and unique, rider 44mm more than the Huracan Evo While wearing Bridgestone Dueler rubber where Pirelli Trofeos are normally found.
Like the 911 Dakar, the Sterrato isn’t a rock to trouble the likes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, but a sand and dirt road specialist. That is if a buyer – possibly a collector – is willing to part with the stone chips.
The best part? We have a preview drive in the concept, which you can read here.

“Presenting the car at Art Basel, Miami Beach reflects how, just like an avant-garde piece of art, the Sterrato represents the core and originality of a super sports car concept but, in terms of performance. , Sterrato belongs to the most dynamic and exciting environment around the world”, said Stefan Winkleman, CEO of Lamborghini.
This special edition marks the last hurrah for the Huracan following the release of the Technica, with only 1499 Sterratos being produced globally. The Sterrato is likely to hit Australia in limited quantities and pricing is yet to be confirmed.
