Final Lamborghini Huracan set for December reveal

The final Lamborghini Huracan variant – expected to be the mould-breaking Sterrato crossover supercar – is scheduled to appear in December, bringing an end to the life cycle of Lamborghini’s most popular model ever.

The news was confirmed by Lamborghini’s Asia-Pacific Region Director, Francesco Scardaoni, who told media: “[Customers] will have another opportunity in December to buy the final version of the Huracan. It will be a segment that doesn’t exist up to now.”

While Scardaoni wouldn’t confirm the name or specifications of the forthcoming Huracan variant, his cryptic clues virtually confirm it will be the unusual Sterrato off-road supercar, previewed by the 2019 concept of the same name and officially teased for the first time last month.

Based on the standard Huracan Evo, the Sterrato concept retained its 470kW 5.2-litre V10, seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive, but raised the ride height by 47mm, increased the tracks and rode on 20-inch wheels fitted with higher-profile tyres, and also increased the oversteer characteristics of its all-wheel drive system.

Scardaoni admits the idea of a jacked-up supercar is somewhat of a journey into the unknown, but said interest in the high-performance crossover was strong in many markets including Australia.

“The system is officially not yet open for this new car, but we get expressions of interest from customers – we [are] witnessing a pretty high interest on this car, including in Australia,” he said.

“It’s a new segment, we don’t have historical data to rely on, but we see customers asking a lot of details which are pretty uncommon for us to be asked, like ground clearance, pitch angle, so it’s really interesting – we are really positive on this.”

The Sterrato (or whatever the final production name is) will be the 12th variant of the Huracan, which earlier this year notched up 20,000 sales. This is quite an impressive result when you consider Lamborghini took 50 years to produce its first 25,000 cars.

The Huracan launched in 2014 as the LP610-4, followed by the LP580-2, which were both available in coupe and convertible guises.

The track-focused Performante followed in 2016 before the Huracan received an update in 2019 as the EVO and EVO RWD, again available in both coupe and convertible guises.

Rounding out the Huracan family – for now – is the newly arrived STO and upcoming Tecnica, which is scheduled to land in Australia from mid-2023 before the Huracan’s plug-in hybrid successor appears in 2024.
