It’s been a month since Lamborghini unveiled the Huracan Sterrato, the tough-looking high-riding variant. Production is supposed to start in February, and a new video from Varryx’s YouTube channel shows off three examples of the new car on the road.
The first is a very plain looking matte silver example with dark gray fender arches and side sills. It seems a bit of a disappointment in this guise, but the second Sterrato is much more interesting. It wears a gold exterior with red and black accents on the hood, roof and doors. The final Sterrato is another gray example, but the arches and front are covered with a protective white wrap.

Lamborghini plans to limit production of the Sterrato to just 1,499 worldwide. The biggest improvement is the very modest 1.7-inch suspension lift compared to the Huracan Evo. This increases ground clearance and allows for more suspension travel. The modified car underpinnings also stretch the front and rear tracks by 1.2 and 1.3 inches, respectively. Nineteen-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Dueler AT002 all-terrain run-flat tires sit in the corner.
Powering the rugged Huracan is the company’s proprietary 5.2-liter V10 engine. It produces 602 horsepower (449 kilowatts) and 413 pound-feet (560 Newton-meters) of torque, which Lamborghini sends via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The Sterrato can reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 3.4 seconds. It has a top speed of 162-mph (260).
Automaker Sant’Agata further enhanced the car’s visual aesthetic by moving the air intake to the rear of the roof to avoid scooping up dusty air. Lamborghini also added additional lights to the front bumper and installed off-road-focused instruments in the cabin.
Lamborghini hasn’t announced the price of the Sterrato yet, but we expect that information closer to the time production starts. It seems another world to have a high-riding Lamborghini that isn’t a crossover, but the automaker isn’t the only one adding raised suspension to its low-key product. Porsche introduced the 911 Dakar just days before Sterrato dropped the lid. What time to live.
