The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato may be one of the most unconventional supercars the Italian manufacturer has ever built, and a recently spotted example navigating snowy Swiss roads underscores just how far the brand was willing to stretch the limits of its mid-engine platform.
While Lamborghini has not formally confirmed the end of Huracan production, official updates on the model have been quiet for more than a year. Before fading from the spotlight, the Huracan lineup spawned several special editions, none more unusual than the Sterrato. Introduced toward the end of 2022, the Sterrato reimagined the low-slung supercar as something closer to a rally-inspired crossover, without fully abandoning its exotic roots.
The Sterrato stood taller than other Huracan variants, gaining 1.7 inches of additional ground clearance. Despite its adventurous intent, it did not feature adjustable suspension. Instead, Lamborghini focused on durability and versatility, fitting the car with reinforced sills, prominent fender flares, a roof-mounted air scoop, auxiliary front lighting, and a redesigned rear diffuser. A dedicated Rally driving mode was added to improve performance on loose or low-grip surfaces.
From the factory, the Huracan Sterrato rode on 19-inch wheels with Bridgestone tires measuring 235/40 at the front and 285/40 at the rear. While many owners have since opted for aftermarket wheels, the stock setup reinforced the car’s off-road-capable image. The model joined a very short list of Lamborghinis designed to venture off paved roads, following the LM002 of the 1980s and the modern Urus SUV.
Performance remained firmly in supercar territory. Power came from the familiar 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 shared with the broader Huracan range and the Audi R8. Producing 610 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, the Sterrato could accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Its top speed, capped at approximately 160 mph, was modest by Lamborghini standards but aligned with its all-terrain mission.
The Swiss example recently seen in snowy conditions appears largely unmodified, finished in blue with orange accents and black trim. Registered locally, the car highlights a setting rarely associated with Lamborghinis, trading sunlit roads for winter landscapes.
Although it no longer commands headlines, the Huracan Sterrato remains a striking reminder of Lamborghini’s willingness to experiment. Seeing one at home in the snow reinforces the idea that this jacked-up supercar was built not just to look adventurous, but to live up to that promise.
