Ever wished there was a supercar that can actually speed through EDSA without blowing up its shock absorbers? Lamborghini Manila has finally announced the availability of the uniquely capable Huracán Sterrato. It’s the first-ever supercar from the Italian marque designed for the rougher stuff. Packed with a V10 engine with that ungodly howl, it comes with all-wheel drive and promises an exciting drive on and off the asphalt.
Unveiled to a select audience in Manila, the Huracán Sterrato embodies Lamborghini's core values of courage, authenticity, and innovation. It's built to deliver maximum driving pleasure beyond paved roads, blending signature Lamborghini lines, advanced tech, and brain-melting performance.
What sets the Sterrato apart from its brethren is its adaptability. With an updated Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics (LDIV) system, it offers specific driving modes for different conditions, whether you're cruising on the highway or tackling rough terrain. And yes, you read that right. It’s a Huracan that can tackle rough terrain. With its additional ground clearance of 44m from standard, the Sterrato comes with 171-mm of bump-survivability and comes with three driving modes: Strada, Sport, and the new Rally mode. The raised suspension means that there is more clearance for the car and Rally mode gets you traction where you need it off-road. And to tackle those off-road challenges with ease, the Sterrato is equipped with custom-engineered Bridgestone Dueler AT002 tires on 19” rims. Front tires are spec’d at 235/40s hugging 8.5-inch wide wheels, while the rears come in 285/40s shod around 11-inch wide wheels. These bad boys ensure a solid grip on various surfaces while maintaining top-notch handling.
Looks-wise, the Sterrato screams adventure. Gone are the side air intakes, and in its place, a large centrally-mounted intake provides the car with cleaner air that keeps it from choking on its own dust. It sits higher off the ground than its predecessor, the Huracán EVO, with wider front and rear tracks for added stability. The Sterrato also looks the part with added flares and the tough exterior features aluminum underbody protection and reinforced sills, which not only looks mean, but also shields the car from bumps and scrapes.
Under the hood, you'll find a powerful 5.2-liter V10 engine pumping out 610-PS and 560-Nm of torque. It’s 30-PS less than the STO or Evo Spyder, but still, 610 horses is nothing to scoff at. Teamed up with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and Haldex all-wheel drive system, it dashes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and tops out at 260 km/h.
Inside, the Huracán Sterrato offers a comfy yet functional space. Decked out with Alcantara Verde Sterrato upholstery, it follows Lamborghini's "feel like a pilot" philosophy, putting the driver front and center. The touchscreen interface boasts new graphics and off-road driving features, while digital inclinometers and steering angle indicators help navigate tricky terrain.
For tech-savvy drivers, the Sterrato comes with advanced connectivity features, including remote control via the Lamborghini UNICA app and a telemetry system for performance monitoring. Apple Watch users can even sync their heart rate data with the car's telemetry system to track their driving performance.
And if you're big on customization, you're in luck. With the Lamborghini Ad Personam program, you can choose from a wide range of colors and interior options to make your Sterrato stand out from the crowd. And the price? Well, you’re looking to part ways with something north of ₱40-million if you want to go through Manila’s pothole-ridden roads with some peace of mind.
