Lamborghini Huracan STJ Limited Edition

This year, Lamborghini will premiere the successor to the Huracan model, and this is its last version powered by a V10 engine, the Lamborghini Huracan STJ. It is a limited edition inspired by the Super Trofeo racing car, and only 10 examples will be produced.

At first glance, the Huracan STJ is identical to the STO model, but there are still some differences. It is equipped with adjustable shock absorbers, an improved chassis and a unique aerodynamic package developed by the Lamborghini Squadra Corse department, which includes new aerodynamic parts and a three-degree increase in the angle of the rear wing, resulting in a 10 percent increase in aerodynamic load without negatively affecting the car’s balance. It’s mounted on a set of specially developed 20″ wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza Race tires.

Lamborghini offers two different design themes for 10 customers, designed by the Lamborghini Centro Stilo department. The first option is a combination of Grigio Telesto, Nero Noctis, Rosso Mars and Bianco Isi. Second option is Eliadi blue body, roof in Nero Noctis, while Rosso Mars and Bianco Isi were chosen for details. Inside, the seats are upholstered in Nero Cosmic black Alcantara with leather accents, contrasted by Rosso Alala red stitching. Each car comes with a numbered carbon plate, and buyers can get an additional plate located on the passenger side.

When it comes to the powertrain, under the bonnet is a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 640 hp (477 kW) and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque, mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

Volkswagen faces two lawsuits over Felicity Ace sinking

Two years ago, we witnessed a fire on the transport ship Felicity Ace, which was carrying 3,965 vehicles. The fire was caused by a lithium-ion battery in one of the Porsche cars. The ship sank and all the vehicles went to the bottom of the sea, including 1,100 Porsches, 189 Bentleys, while the rest were Volkswagen, Audi and Lamborghini, including electric models. Among the cars were 15 Lamborghini Aventador cars, which Lamborghini stopped producing. Now, two lawsuits have been filed against Volkswagen.

The company Allianz and the operator of the cargo ship Mitsui OSK Lines sued Volkswagen, and the lawsuit was filed more than a year ago, but the development of the situation was stopped due to discussions about another lawsuit in the court in Brunswick, Germany. According to documents related to the original 2023 lawsuit, the two parties accuse Volkswagen Group of withholding information about the risks associated with transporting electrified cars. In addition, the lawsuit filed in the Stuttgart court alleges that VW did not provide the necessary precautions for the safe transport of the car.

In the meantime, an incomplete list of cars that were on the transport ship was published: Audi A5 Convertible (84), Audi A5 Coupe (43), Audi A5 Sportback (147), Audi E-Tron (121), Audi Q3 ( 297), Audi Q3 Sportback (144), Bentley Bentayga (77), Bentley Continental GT (38), Bentley Continental GTC (50), Bentley Flying Spur (25), Lamborghini Aventador (15), Lamborghini Huracan (20), Lamborghini Urus (50), Porsche (23 made in Zuffenhausen, 19 in Leipzig and 126 in Bratislava), Volkswagen Caddy (47), Volkswagen Golf (199), Volkswagen ID.4 (159), Volkswagen T6 (116), Ford Mustang GT (year 2015), Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, BMW 750i (year 2007), Honda Prelude SiR (year 1996), as well as Land Rover Santana (year 1977) built in Spain under license from Land Rover and using Defender parts . When it comes to the value of the ship’s cargo, the estimated value of the destroyed cars is around $155 million.

How both lawsuits will end and whether both sides will be able to come to an agreement remains to be seen.
