A super-sports car that delivers all the feel and technology of a genuine race car in a road-legal model.

Lamborghini has unveiled the Huracan STO – full name,  Super Trofeo Omologata. That means it’s a road-homologated version of the brand’s Super Trofeo racing car.

Lamborghini’s years-long motorsport know-how, intensified by a winning heritage, is concentrated in the new Huracán STO. Its extreme aerodynamics, track-honed handling dynamics, lightweight contents and the highest-performing V10 engine to date come together, “ready to trigger all the emotions of the racetrack in your everyday life.” – according to Lamborghini presentation.

A lightweight approach and functional design combine to express pure performance. While its contours may be reminiscent of the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO, the Huracán STO features a completely revised shape that optimizes the vehicle’s aerodynamics, while employing carbon fiber in more than 75% of the body panels. In particular, the Cofango—a specially designed body component that incorporates the front hood and fenders—maximizes frontal aerodynamic performance while saving weight.

The interior features the same track-minded approach, using lightweight, high-quality materials throughout—most notably carbon fiber. Featured in the door panels, interior details, seats and floor mats, this innovative and distinctive material offers a super-sports look .

Along with additional features such as a new trim and titanium roll bar with 4-point seatbelts, the end result elicits the sensation and character of true racing from the moment you get behind the wheel.

Power comes from the same naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 unit found in the rear-wheel drive Huracan Performante, which develops an identical 631bhp and 417lb ft of torque. But because of a reduction in weight, the STO catapults from standstill to 62mph in three seconds.
