Lamborghini Huracan STJ is the “Last Hurrah” for its V10 Engine

Automobili Lamborghini lately introduced the discharge of the Huracán STJ, a limited-edition sequence of solely ten models, signifying the final homage to its iconic V10 tremendous sports activities automobile. This version is widely known for encapsulating the zenith of the V10 engine’s legacy, a pivotal a part of Lamborghini’s storied heritage that has considerably contributed to the Huracán household’s success since its introduction in 2014. The Huracán household will see its succession by the tip of the yr with a brand new tremendous sports activities automobile mannequin that includes a hybrid powertrain, marking a brand new period for Lamborghini.

The design of the Huracán STJ is predicated on the Huracán STO, representing the final word degree of efficiency realized inside the Huracán lineage. This achievement is attributed to an unique efficiency enhancement bundle designed to amplify the Huracán STO’s racing essence. The title STJ stands for Super Trofeo Jota, with “Super Trofeo” honoring Lamborghini’s single-brand championship initiated in 2009, and “Jota” referencing each the Appendix J of the FIA Regulations, which dictates the specs for racing vehicles, and Lamborghini’s custom of crafting fashions for the observe, starting with the Miura SVJ and lengthening to the Aventador SVJ.

Distinctively, the Huracán STJ is characterised by its specialised aerodynamic bundle, a product of the experience of Lamborghini Squadra Corse technicians. This bundle builds upon the superior aerodynamics of the STO with the introduction of the “cofango” and two novel carbon fiber aerodynamic parts (flicks), enhancing the automobile’s aerodynamic effectivity. Additionally, the rear wing’s angle has been adjusted to extend by 3° in comparison with the usual mannequin, leading to a ten% rise in aerodynamic load whereas sustaining the automobile’s stability.

Powering the Huracán STJ is similar 640 CV at 8000 rpm and 565 Nm torque at 8000 rpm because the STO, managed by a 7-speed dual-clutch (LDF – Lamborghini Doppia Frizione) gearbox and directed solely to the rear wheels. The automobile’s mechanical grip is notably improved by way of using 4 adjustable racing-derived shock absorbers that exchange the usual energetic parts. These shock absorbers, adjustable in 4 methods, enable for detailed optimization of rebound and compression settings at each excessive and low frequencies primarily based on observe circumstances. This adjustment functionality permits using softer springs whereas preserving dynamic automobile management and augmenting steering precision.

To additional improve driving dynamics, the Huracán STJ is supplied with particular Bridgestone Potenza Race tires, crafted with a high-grip compound and mounted on 20” single-nut rims, contributing to a lap time enchancment of over one second on the Nardò Technical Center Handling Track in comparison with the Huracán STO.

The aesthetic enchantment of the Huracán STJ mirrors its sporty and unique nature, providing two distinct configuration and livery choices meticulously designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile. The first choice pairs Grigio Telesto (grey) bodywork with a Nero Noctis (black) roof, complemented by Rosso Mars (pink) and Bianco Isi (white) particulars, whereas the cabin options Nero Cosmus (black) Alcantara seats accented with leather-based particulars and Rosso Alala (pink) stitching.

The second choice options Blu Eliadi (blue) bodywork with analogous Nero Noctis (black) roof and accent particulars. Both configurations are distinguished by a particular, numbered carbon fiber plate indicating “1 of 10”, and provide the likelihood for purchasers to incorporate a customized plate on the passenger aspect with customized inscriptions, additional enhancing the exclusivity of this limited-edition sequence.
