As the world awaits the debut of the Huracan’s plug-in hybrid successor later this year, Lamborghini filed a new trademark that could be used in another special edition. The Huracan STJ moniker was trademarked in Europe on February 27, making us wonder if Lamborghini is working on a final iteration of the V10-powered supercar. The filing includes the official emblem of the STJ which most likely stands for Super Trofeo Jota. The nameplate is probably conceived as a reference to FIA’s Appendix J regulations and was first used in the Miura Jota prototype in 1970. Other uses throughout Lamborghini’s history include the Miura SVJ, the Diablo SE30 Jota, the one-off Aventador J, and the Aventador SVJ.
Lamborghini‘s filing on the European
Union’s Intellectual Property Office was discovered by our colleagues at
CarBuzz, mentioning a possible use in vehicles, toy cars, and plenty of other
products. At first glance, the STJ would be a fitting name for a more extreme
follow-up to the Performante, STO, and Tecnica versions of the Huracan.
However, with the electrified successor of the Huracan being just around the
corner, this scenario seems unlikely. Still, we can’t rule out another one-off
special from the Lamborghini Ad Personam Opera Unica program, tailored to the
request of a wealthy client. As the last of the V10-powered Lambos, we wouldn’t
be surprised if the model broke the record of the most expensive example of the
Huracan.
Such a treat wouldn’t have to be
street-legal and could be based on the Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 racecar,
adopting its wild looks, race-prepped 5.2-liter V10, and hardcore chassis
setup. Something similar was envisioned in the digital world a few months ago
by automotive photographer, CG artist, and filmmaker Jpog, tricking the
internet into believing it was the real deal.
In any case, without any official word
from Lamborghini, all the aforementioned scenarios are pure speculation. What
we know for sure is that if the STJ becomes a reality, you probably won’t be
able to buy one, as the remaining production allocation of the Huracan has been
reportedly sold out since May 2023.
