The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato will make its official debut during Art Basel in Miami, Florida, on November 30. The company is happy to show bodies without camouflage before big premieres. In this video there is no concealment for the exterior.
The Huracan Sterrato will have a raised ride height and a sturdier body. Lamborghini marketing suggests that owners can take it off-road. That said, we wonder how many owners actually did with this limited-run Lamborghini.

The upgraded body features a variety of parts that make the Huracan look ready to get dirty. The nose has two LED light bars. There is also a roof rack as a place to tie gear. A spoon is behind the roof. The sides get large fender flares, and there’s also extra protection for the side sills. The modified rear bumper has high-mounted exhaust pipes and a design that seems to provide a better departure angle.
For better off-road traction, the Sterrato uses Bridgestone Dueler tires.
The Sterrato will be the last Lamborghini without any powertrain electrification. It will use a naturally aspirated version of the 5.2-liter V10. Engine output is still a mystery. To match the car’s rugged intentions, all signs point to the model having all-wheel drive.
The Sterrato started as a concept debuting in June 2019. It featured a ride height that was 1.85 inches (47 millimeters) higher than standard. Lamborghini also widened the track by 1.18 inches (30 millimeters) at the front and rear. The company added rear-wheel steering, underbody reinforcement and rear skid plates. The light rods are on the nose and roof.
The production Sterrato happened to arrive at around the same time as the Porsche 911 Dakar. Both models take existing performance cars and tune them for off-roading. The model sits 3.2 inches (81.3 millimeters) taller than stock. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that produces 473 horsepower (353 kilowatts). Porsches are a bit pricey with prices starting at $223,450.
