"Lamborghini’s new Sterrato off-road supercar will be unveiled in Miami later this year, with the Italian firm claiming it has created “a new segment in the super sports car world”.
The announcement came as part of Lamborghini’s quarterly financial report and referred to the upcoming Sterrato as an “all-terrain version of the Huracan”. We first saw plans for the Sterrato back in 2019 with an off-road focused concept car, and judging by our most recent images, it looks like the production version will retain much of that model’s aggressive styling."
Unlike Lamborghini’s concept car, the production Sterrato won’t feature roof-mounted lights, but does include a large central air intake, possibly inspired by the Huracan STO. A pair of LED lights appear on the nose of the Sterrato, while the concept’s flared wheel arches are carried over. There’s no sign of the titanium roll cage and front and rear skid plates we’ve seen previously, although there is a small lip spoiler at the rear, as found on the Huracan EVO model.
Lamborghini shows the Sterrato taking on a dirt bike on some loose terrain - not the usual environment for an Italian supercar. This is made possible by the raised ride height - the concept sat 47mm higher to help with ground clearance, while there was also a wider track with increased chassis bracing. The wheels are smaller than the standard car’s, with a bigger sidewall more suitable for off-roading. huge brakes from the Huracan EVO feature, which will be necessary considering the Sterrato will retain the 5.2-litre V10 engine - producing 640bhp and 600Nm of torque.
The seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox will be calibrated for off-road use, but with the addition of an all-wheel drive system we could see the Sterrato beat the rear-wheel drive EVO’s 0-62mph time of 3.3 seconds."
Back in 2019 Lamborghini’s Chief Technical Officer, Maurizio Reggiani (now Lamborghini’s Vice President of Motorsport) commented: “The Huracan Sterrato illustrates Lamborghini’s commitment to being a future shaper: a super sports car with off-road capabilities, the Sterrato demonstrates the Huracán’s versatility and opens the door to yet another benchmark of driving emotion and performance.”

Love it or not, it's DEFINITELY a Lamborghini! And that should be celebrated. Always.
