2019 Lamborghini Huracan Evo

How Lamborghini gives owners the VIP treatment

What do you offer the millionaire who has everything? An ice drive in a Huracan STO is a good start

It’s hard to think about anything while sitting in a hard-working Lamborghini other than the car itself, but I spent at least some of my time during a trip in various of the company’s cars remembering Dave Stewart.

Not, it must be said, for the music that he and Annie Lennox created; rather because after Eurythmics’ chart success had peaked, he claimed to suffer from Paradise Syndrome – depression caused by a lifestyle that was too perfect and too predictable.

Multimillionaires with the ability to scratch every itch obviously need to find some more prickles to soothe. Which is where Lamborghini’s Ad Personam division can help. Although best known for the ability to order bespoke options for new cars, Lamborghini also gives its more demanding clients the chance to attend a variety of exclusive experiences.

It has organised a three-day tour of the Italian Alps in cars ranging from a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder to an Lamborghini Aventador SVJ to show journalists the sort of thing that is possible. The luxurious hotels and carefully curated tasting menus are predictably lovely, but it was the chance to drive the company’s spikier cars in harsh conditions that brought me here.

Lamborghini has now sold 20,000 Huracáns

Okay it might not be matching the pace of Urus sales, but the baby Lambo is mighty popular

Lamborghini has announced that it has sold its 20,000th Huracán, with the landmark being reached by the glorious-looking STO in Grigio Acheso paint that you see above. That’s for a client in Monaco apparently, surprise surprise.

Although Lambo does say that the most popular market for its V10 supercar has been the US, with almost a third of all cars being delivered there in the eight years since the Huracán was launched. Worth remembering there’s been 12 road and three racing versions so far.

The UK and China are up next in the Huracán popularity stakes, and to put that rather large number into context, Lamborghini only ever built 14,022 Gallardos before that car was replaced – the Huracán is still going strong. In fact, Lambo only unveiled the 631bhp Tecnica a couple of weeks ago. Click these blue words for the full lowdown.

Off-Roading Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato Officially Teased

Lamborghini seems to be very close to revealing its own take on the high-riding supercar as they have just dropped a teaser video showing the V10 bull having a blast off-road.

Some of the unique features include a roof scoop integrated into the engine cover, smaller wheels with chunkier tyres and some prominent lights up front for lighting up the path-less-travelled.

The standard EVO’s LDVI integrated vehicle dynamics system will also be fitted, likely with a new off-road mode that will vary the calibration of all its dynamic chassis elements from steering, suspension and the torque split.

The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato is heading for production

A wild, off-road supercar with a V10 is coming to a dirt road near you. Jumps ahoy!

Lamborghini is about to launch the perfect supercar for the modern world. A supercar that’s comfortable, able to deal with a potholed road network or accelerate fast enough to create entirely new ones.

We’re reading between the lines here, but the wild Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato appears to be heading for production. Principally because Sant’Agata has just released a new teaser video showcasing a prototype Sterrato doing brilliant skids, and it’s been three years since we last heard of it.

Yeah, it’s tenuous. But it’s also Thursday so just run with it. Should the production version mirror the gloriously orange one-off Sterrato concept from 2019, it’ll be a Huracán Evo underneath, complete with the standard 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 and a very unnaturally sounding 630bhp, and all-wheel-drive.

Where the concept departed from the standard car – sideways onto a dirt track, presumably – was in the suspension. Lamborghini raised the ride height by 47mm, in the process improving ground clearance and approach/departure angles. The dampers and suspension geometry were tweaked, a set of balloon tyres slotted on, and new front wings to accommodate the 30mm shift in front axle.

 
Lamborghini to show new Urus and Huracan variants in 2022

Italian supercar specialist announces upcoming models in the wake of its best half-year on record

Lamborghini is poised to announce two new variants of the Urus SUV and a new version of the Huracán supercar in the wake of a record half-year.

Despite the challenge of semiconductor shortages and supply-chain issues exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, Lamborghini delivered 5090 cars – 4.9% more than in the first half of 2021.

The Urus was the brand’s strongest performer, accounting for 61% of all sales, while the Lamborghini Aventador and Huracán supercars made up the remaining 39%.

Huracán sales were bolstered by the launch of the Huracán Tecnica, a more extreme rear-wheel-drive version sitting between the regular Evo and hardcore STO variants.

Lamborghini will begin to unveil the aforementioned Urus and Huracán variants from August.

The Lamborghini Urus ‘Evo’ has already been spotted testing in Germany with matt-black paint and bright-red brake calipers. It’s expected to pack slightly more power than the existing version while cutting weight below 2200kg.
