2023 Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, the last one with ICE

At the beginning of the year, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said that this will be the last year in which the only offer will be internal combustion engines, as they will offer their first plug-in hybrid model in 2023. Thus, the honor of being the last Lamborghini with an internal combustion engine will go to the 2023 Huracan Sterrato, which will be presented at this year’s Art Basel festival in Miami (USA), which will take place from December 1-4.

The all-terrain super sports car will be powered by a centrally located naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine. It is currently unknown whether this will be a version that develops 631 hp (464 kW) like the STO and Huracan Tecnica. However, unlike these two versions, it is certain that the Sterrato will have AWD.

The car is additionally raised from the ground compared to the standard Huracan, protected and widened. Obviously, Lamborghini intends to expand its offer and make it more attractive, so that it can respond to the recently unveiled Ferrari Purosangue as well as the Porsche 911 Safari/Dakar, which the German company is seriously working on.

Lamborghini has not announced how many units of the Huracan Sterrato will be produced. Some rumors say that it could be a limited edition, because Lamborghini will say goodbye to Huracan in 2024.
