Introducing the Lamborghini Huracán STO, a special machine that drives like a track beast and defies preconceived notions of what a modern supercar should be. With its low-for-a-Lambo weight, bare carbon interior, and limited drive modes, the STO is pure, old-school Lamborghini, and it’s ready to make a statement.
A Lighter, More Focused Beast
The Huracán STO boasts a dry weight of only 2,942 pounds, thanks to the absence of all-wheel drive and the extensive use of carbon fiber in its construction. The floor and doors are essentially bare carbon, and the complex clamshell front end/hood is manually opened with a plastic prong. This lightweight approach contributes to the car’s impressive performance and handling capabilities.
Stripped-Down Interior and Limited Drive Modes
The STO’s interior is a testament to its track-focused nature, with no traditional grab handles on the bare carbon door and manual seat adjustments. The optional $4,600 carbon fiber floor mats add a touch of luxury while maintaining the car’s performance-oriented theme. With only three drive modes available, the STO is a far cry from the feature-packed modern supercars we’ve grown accustomed to.
Uncompromising Performance and Design
The STO’s design prioritizes performance over convenience, with rearward visibility largely limited to the side mirrors and no blind-spot warning system. However, the V10 engine roars to life with an anger that more than makes up for any perceived shortcomings. The MagneRide dampers help facilitate a comfortable ride, but the real discomfort sets in on longer highway stints due to the noise.
Worth the Price Tag?
With a price tag of $404,533, the Lamborghini Huracán STO is a significant investment for those seeking a track-focused supercar. Its performance, design, and old-school charm may be enough to sway potential buyers, but it’s important to remember that this car is not for everyone. The STO is a statement piece, a machine that challenges the status quo and demands to be driven to its limits.
