Great result for the Sterrato in the Autocar drivers car of the year award!

I trust the owners are enjoying theirs, would be great to hear your thoughts..

laugh very good I see what you did there. I’m sure we’ll have a nutty expert come along soon and tell us about NATURALLY ASPIRATED carbon tubs…..and how everyone else’s specced cars are rubbish compared….and remember if it’s in orange it’s the fastest….Could this be Rambo’s new Lambo?

I have one, about 2000 miles in, and it’s fantastic. Honestly think it’s best road use Huracan of the lot, never mind the off road bit. Handles cr@ppy roads easily, better ride, and still goes where you point it and sound is obviously mega.
Haven’t read Autocar yet, but not surprised.

That looks great FS! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Looks like having usable fun over the last millimetre of measured performance is taking over…

That's a beautiful colour combo, works so well.

Yep agree its a monstrosity.
Bolt some wide arches, spotlights and roof rails on and jack up the suspension and call it an off roader ????

Just another marketing ploy and status symbol like the 911 dakar.
Hype it up and make it limited and the super rich will buy it regardless because they can

Wasn't sure how much these run at but checking AT asking between £350k-£400k...Jesus wept...seems the Lambo boys have been studying the Porsche marketing playbook... 1/1500 but who's counting let's make 5000!
Admittedly it does look fun but that price is batst crazy.

Some people like to have their ego massaged by "exclusivity"

All this 1 of 1 and rare colour etc makes me laugh when it's spin on something that's not popular.

I wouldnt pay list for a stiletto let alone £100k overs but no doubt they will be circling Harrods

Don't get it at all, the Dakar 911 can pull it off to some degree, but not the Huracan, just looks like a blind man reversed backwards through Halfords offer aisle.. roof rack, cheap leds and some jacked suspension.

However, better it exists than not I suppose, if they can part a fool with their cash and keep folks in work, more power to 'em!

I don't get the hate for it !

If anything I have Sterrato owners envy !

If the Sterrato had been available 2 years ago I would have definitely tried to get one.

I think it looks great and is a more practical / useable Huracan ( especially with roof box for longer trips)

That said, I totally get the 30 year old me would, for sure, have turned his nose up at that idea, but the 52 year old version is very much taken by it !😆

I understand it from a ride perspective and you probably an easier ownership experience as you buy into a more hardy way of using it.

But looks wise its a no no for me, there was one in the workshop recently alongside all the Avs, Hurracans etc and it just looked stupid to my eyes, lamborghini trades primarily on looks and sound, now if Audi had done it to the R8 it would have made perfect sense imo.

Yes the looks do get to me too… I wish it was uglier tbh, it’s part of the character.
Refreshing to have no carbon and stuck on plastic bits you don’t have to worry about.
Maybe it’s faux rally car chic, but it works for me,

Apart from that, it does all of the things you wish other supercars would do, and much better without thin sidewalls, harsh suspension and low ride height. Apart from tracking, which I wouldn’t do anyway, it ticks all the boxes.

... must be the first time in the whole of human history that anyone said that about .... anything ? ! :-)


I love the side profile - the roof scoop gives it an almost Diablo SV vibe - it's proper Lambo for sure IMHO...
