The Huracán Sterrato has opened new doors
The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato put an entirely new spin on the brand’s staple supercar. The model offers a higher ride height that does away with owner worries about scraping speed bumps, but, more importantly, can handle trails, too. A Lamborghini capable of rolling through the dirt has largely been limited to some of the more ambitious custom modifications, but now it looks like even more Lamborghini nameplates could head off-road.
Lamborghini is looking to expand
The Huracan Sterrato is the first modern all-terrain supercar to grace roadways, and if statements by Lamborghini are taken in the right light, it certainly won’t be the last. In a statement to Autocar, Lamborghini sales and marketing chief Federico Foschini claimed that even “crazier” models could be on the way as the brand leans into a new niche. “We don’t only want to upgrade, we want to surprise,” he said, indicating that we could see all-terrain models of the Urus, Temerario, and Revuelto as well.

Lamborghini already gave us a glimpse into an all-terrain version of the Urus. While the ST-X never went into production, it proved that the automaker can create rugged performance models capable of more than the standard supercar. Another niche model based on the Temerario, which replaced the Huracán, is likely already underway.
“I think that we even didn’t leverage enough on the opportunity, because you can do a lot of stuff with the Sterrato; and I think that in the future, for sure we can introduce at a certain moment in time this opportunity,” said Foschini.

Lamborghini has seen sales trending positively over the past few years, culminating in 2024. Last year, the brand posted its best sales revenue to date, amounting to 3.09 billion euros ($3.628 billion), a 15.5% increase compared to 2023, and 10,687 global vehicle sales.
The Huracán Sterrato comes with a V10 engine
Lamborghini models are already fairly exclusive, with production numbers typically topping out in the low thousands. Naturally, as the final variant of the nameplate, the Huracan Sterrato is no exception, with just 1,499 units produced since February 2023.

The Huracán Sterrato comes equipped with a mid-mounted 5.2-liter V10 engine that produces 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. That kind of performance pushes the all-terrain supercar to 60 mph in as little as 3.4 seconds. For anyone who cares, the 2024 Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato earns up to 15 mpg in combined city/highway driving.
As an all-terrain variant, the Huracan Sterrato includes equipment designed to help it tackle loose surfaces. A slightly longer wheelbase and wider stance, along with rugged styling elements and rally lights, certainly set it apart from any other production Lamborghini. The underbody sports some much-needed protection, while model-exclusive off-road tech features like a pitch and roll indicator and a steering angle indicator help you keep the car right side up on the dirt.

Inside, the all-terrain Huracan’s design is fairly standard for the brand. The low seat position, which emphasizes the pilot-like feel of every Huracan model, and the drive mode selector (Strada, Sport, and Rally) are among the most notable features. As far as tech goes, an 8.4-inch display and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard.
Final thoughts
The automotive industry is going through a rather interesting era of unprecedented changes from every direction. As much of the industry is fighting an internal battle between combustion and electrification, Lamborghini went a completely different direction with an all-terrain Huracan. With more all-terrain models all but confirmed, Lamborghini is clearly ready to expand its offerings while maintaining the exclusivity for which the supercar manufacturer is known.
