Lamborghini Huracan STO leaked
Aggressive aero design for track weapon confirmed as reports suggest VW is studying Lambo sell-offThe 2021 Lamborghini Huracan STO has been leaked by a UK Lamborghini dealer franchise via Instagram with the tag-line: “You saw it here first.”
Based on the image of the partially revealed car, the Huracan STO (Super Trofeo Omologato) is confirmed as carrying a host of aggressive aero features including a massive rear wing, a big roof vent to channel air into the mid-mounted engine bay, twin bonnet vents, a low front splitter and pumped wheel-arches.
Earlier camouflaged photos show a larger rear diffuser.
The STO will be officially revealed overnight and is understood to be a rear-drive track weapon using a version of the Italian supercar marque’s 5.2-litre V10 engine that in the Huracan Evo and Performante blasts out 470kW/600Nm.
Given the extra aero and an expected lighter weight, the STO should be genuine chance to steal the latest production car Nurburgring lap record recently set by the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series.
The Lamborghini Huracan Performante coupe is currently priced at $483,866 plus on-road costs, so expect the STO to dive deep into the $500,000 zone.
