As we inch closer to its debut at the Art Basel in Miami Beach, Lamborghini has revealed more about the development of the upcoming rally-inspired Huracán Sterrato. Beginning with an early prototype of the car, it was raised and taken to Nardo’s off-road test track, the Strada Bianca.
Development took place on the Strada
Bianca, the complex’s off-road test track. With one roughly oval-shaped course,
and a curving rally stage to test on, it quickly became clear to Rouven Mohr,
who is now Lamborghini’s CTO, that the car was something special.
Powered by Lamborghini’s 5.2-liter V10
engine, the team wanted the car to be a blast to drive both on the road and off
of it. That meant raising the ride height, improving the approach and departure
angles, increasing the track width, and installing widened tires. All of which
also presented the automaker with an exciting opportunity to play around with
the design of the Huracán.
That design was first shown off with the
Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato Concept in 2019. Now, though, the company is
preparing to fully unveil the new production car later this month, and the team
couldn’t be more excited.
