The Lamborghini Huracán is a spectacular super car, with is pencil-sharp styling and sonorous V10 making it one of the greatest super cars to ever grace the road. Now, following a decade of production, it’s time to say arrivederci to this illustrious Lamborghini.
Indeed, this Raging Bull will soon drive into the horizon, with the Italian firm announcing its retirement. However, the Huracán will do so in spectacular fashion. It comes in the shape of the Huracán STJ (Super Trofeo Jota, if you were wondering). Only 10 examples will be made.
All you need to know about the Lamborghini Huracán STJ
The Huracán STJ’s design is based on that of the STO model. However, thanks to an array of model-specific items, the STJ “represents the pinnacle of performance” for its namesake.
Equipped with an exclusive package, which was designed to “enhance” the racing spirit of the STO, the STJ features additional “sophisticated” aerodynamic elements, such as a couple of “all-new” carbon-fibre flicks. In addition, the angle of the rear wing has been increased by 3 degrees, providing enhanced downforce and balance.
Further keeping this Huracán glued to the road, it’s been fitted with a set of four-way adjustable, racing-derived shock absorbers for enhanced mechanical grip. The STJ sits on a set of 20-inch wheels, each of which wrapped in “special” Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres, specially developed with a high grip compound.
Sited midships, the STJ is powered with the same V10 as the STO. The naturally aspirated unit produces 470 kW and 565 Nm of torque, both of which sent exclusively to the rear axle — via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox — as soon as the rev needle edges the 8 000 r/min marker.
What will succeed the Huracán?
Not much are yet known about the Huracán’s successor. However, the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based brand has confirmed that its replacement will come in the shape of a hybrid-powered super car.
