The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato is the result of the crazy idea of turning the Huracán into an off-road model into reality. However, despite the additional ground clearance, an extra 44 mm, and new protection that gives it a more off-road appearance, the Huracán is still a supercar.with the necessary compromises, including high-performance materials that are extremely smooth in riding as hard as off-road and a very stylish body that doesn’t allow for too much suspension or ride height.
But Since its arrival, it was inevitable that some users would examine where the limits of this almost unique off-road model of its kind lie.among them Mark McCann, a YouTuber who presents himself as a “car crash expert” who was finally encouraged to jump higher through comments in his YouTube community, something he had already tried with several previous jumps that brought out Lamborghinis. pretty unscathed, but In this new video it becomes a real challenge to create a ramp that will help this supercar with off-road DNA fly.
Too much of a challenge even for Sterrato?
So, McCann took his Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato to Cows Quarry, in England, an off-road experience center with 60 hectares of rugged terrain to test any 4×4 vehicle.Of course, in this case what we have is a supercar closer to the ground. Therefore, owners take precautions first by applying certain adhesives to various areas of the car to slightly protect the bodywork.
Things start to get tricky almost from the start, where the front bumper ends up hitting small rocks in a seemingly harmless reverse maneuver.. As explained in the same video Although the Sterrato has an extra 44 mm of ground clearance compared to other Huracán models, its height is still lower than that of a traditional passenger car.. However, after a few rounds of donuts and figure 8s and a little warm-up by sliding on a few sections, everything seemed ready to tackle the jump once and for all. Or at least that’s what it seemed like before the ABS started interfering before the jump.
A small dirt road helps lift the Sterrato off the ground, even more than it looks. Sterrato flew for what seemed like forever and miraculously landed without much trouble or damage., at least as we see in the video. So yes, you can strip and fly a Lamborghini V10 through an off-road section and tell it straight, although we don’t recommend that either. McCann himself, even when faced with his daughter’s request to do it again, refused, and in fact we understand that when we are talking about a model costing more than 300,000 euros of which there will only be 1,499 units.
