Likely to be Lamborghini\u2019s last major release from this range using traditional engine technology, the Sterrato is wrapped in a more utilitarian olive green, though let\u2019s not think generic here; the colour is a stunning metallic green, as befitting a luxury brand such as this. It helps to give the car a look we\u2019ve not seen too often from Lamborghini before.The Hurac\u00e1n Sterrato comes hot on the heels of the Porsche Dakar released a short while ago and offers up a similar backstory. As Mitja Borkert, head of design at Lamborghini, said; this is a chance to put a supercar into a rather unexpected environment. It\u2019s probably a little more surprising right now than Porsche entering the field of off-road vehicles though.The Hurac\u00e1n Sterrato is clad in carbon-fibre and features a ground clearance increase over the regular Hurac\u00e1n of 44mm. It also gets snorkel air intakes on the roof with the aim of pulling in cleaner, less dusty air – testing had revealed that the filters were getting blocked far too quickly otherwise. The Sterrato also gets roof bars and interestingly, this meant the addition of roof strengthening to accommodate such an accessory – an addition the original prototype Hurac\u00e1n was probably never expecting to get. Power from the V10 is reduced slightly compared to the standard Hurac\u00e1n though, with the Sterrato dropping from 632bhp to 601bhp – still impressive of course and I certainly can\u2019t see that being a deal breaker for anyone!The Sterrato will use an automatic 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox with AWD. And when appropriate, the off-rad supercar has Rally Mode. 0-62mph is expected to be 3.4 seconds with a top speed limited to 160mph, most likely limited for similar reasons to the Porsche Dakar; but still plenty enough for what the car is designed for. In fact, Lamborghini says that the limited top speed is mainly due to the chunky Bridgestone Dueller all-terrain tyres.While it may not be designed for clambering over rocks, underneath the Sterrato still has reinforced sills plus chassis and body protection to keep the stones at bay. Widened carbon-fibre wheel arches accommodate the 19-inch alloys and the overall larger wheel profile. The Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n Sterrato will have a retuned, softer suspension than the likes of the Tecnica and more pitch and roll will be built in, giving an overall softer ride more befitting of the terrain the car has been designed for. It will give the Sterrato a rally car-style ride experience.There will only be 900 Hurac\u00e1n Sterrato units built, and pricing will come in at around \u00a3228,000 (not including tax) with plenty of extra personalisation options. The Porsche Dakar is a slightly cheaper option, but while the two cars are similar on the one hand, they are, on the other, certainly very different and should perhaps not be considered as offering entirely the same driving experience.Images: lamborghini.com"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Lamborghini Announces Off-Road Capable V10 Powered Hurac\u00e1n Sterrato","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/lamborghini-announces-off-road-capable-v10-powered-huracan-sterrato\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
