Ever felt that the Lamborghini Huracan Performante was too tame for you? Well that is not a problem anymore as Lamborghini has launched the most extreme Huracan ever- the STO in India! The Super Trofeo Omologato is the homologated version of the Super Trofeo Evo race car. Take a look at it and you’ll know that it is barely legal with all the aerodynamic bits carried on from the race car. The Huracan STO costs ₹4.99 crores and that is before options.
Weight reduction, baby!
The Huracan STO weighs 83kgs lighter than the Standard Huracan EVO tipping the scale at just 1,399 kg. Almost 75% of the body is made up of carbon fibre and you can even add more carbon fibre parts with options!
The whole front section of the Huracan STO is a single carbon fibre panel to reduce weight and the whole front section folds open forward like a giant clamshell. The Huracan STO deletes the luggage space in the bonnet to make way for ducts that force air into the front splitters to increase the downforce.
The front and rear tracks have been widened and you’ll notice a huge fin running down the rear. You also cannot miss out on the huge wing which can be manually adjusted at three levels.
Powahhhh!
The STO uses the familiar sweet-sounding naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 which pushes out 640hp and 565nm of torque. The Performante misses out on AWD and gets its power sent to the rear wheels just like the race car.
It uses LDVI which is an electronic system used to control all the drive modes and the rear-wheel steering. The STO also gets new driving modes such as STO, Trofeo and Pioggia. Thankfully, it retains the nose lift function to tackle our roads. The 0-100 km/h time is 3 seconds and the top speed is at 310 km/h.
The engine has been tuned for better response and sound to give a race car feel. The performance figures are a step down from the other Huracan models but one should remember that the STO is more track-focused rather than straight-line speed.
All in all, there is nothing more extreme than the Huracan STO and if you have an access to a racetrack then this Italian beast should definitely be on your list!
