Lightbulb 2021 Lamborghini Huracan STO

*gulp

https://www.automobilemag.com/news/2...to-first-look/

Quote:
With all of Squadra Corse's go-fast know-how coursing through its oil passages, the Huracán STO is best seen as a pseudo-homologation road variant of the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO and GT3 EVO race cars. It's right there, in the name—
Super Trofeo Omologata.
The largest lump of changes took place on the exterior, where an entirely new set of duds use more than 75-percent carbon fiber in their construction. Much like the race cars, the Huracán STO's front and rear fender/bumper segments are one single clamshell-like piece, inspired partially by the legendary Miura that kicked off the mid-engine supercar trend for good. Aside from the single-piece construction, each fascia and surface is upgraded for airflow, and works in tandem with a wicked dorsal-fin spine and roof intake that spoil and redirect air toward the massive rear wing.

For the handful of trackrats who get their hands on a 2021 Lamborghini Huracán STO of their own, the rear wing has a manually adjustable rear foil that quick-sets different track profiles. With all the extra wing, spoilers, angles, and intakes, airflow efficiency is up 37 percent and downforce by 53 percent when compared with a Huracán Performante, according to Lamborghini. Of course, with all of this extra "stick," cornering speeds increase, so the chassis is requisitely enhanced as well. Aside from a slightly increased track, stiffer suspension bushings, STO-specific anti-roll bars, and updated MagneRide, the steering is recalibrated for more granular response alongside the inclusion of rear-wheel steering. For hauling the STO down from the end of the straight, the ultra-lightweight magnesium wheels hide new Brembo CCM-R ceramic brakes to improve braking power by 25 percent and stress resistance by an impressive 60 percent. The same 5.2-liter V-10 found in all other Huracáns gets a boost for the STO, now screaming out 640 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque.

2021 Lamborghini Huracán STO Highlights

Arguably the most hardcore roadgoing Lamborghini, ever
Takes heavy inspiration from Huracán race cars
New clamshell front/rear hood and fender design
Extensive use of carbon fiber
Improved aerodynamics
Upgraded brakes

looks sick. a little too much going on with the orange and blue though. would probably tone it down with just 1 body color and black accents for everything else.

big fan of the roof scoop. i'm sure that adds alot more intake noise for the driver.

This will be an interesting machine. Likely to be the final NA from Lamborghini. New world of hybrids coming and I am not all that crazy about that trend

Lamborghini has always been that way.
They used the bizzarrini engine for over 40 years in numerous iterations. (and that latest iteration is imho still the best sounding lamborghini)

every company is like that now.

mclaren has been using pretty much the same chassis and engine from 12C through the 720s. just incremental upgrades along the way.

the ferrari 458, 488, and F8 all share pretty much the same interior and chassis layout.

lambo still uses the same ancient single clutch gearbox in the aventador since it debuted in 2011.

My friend who has the LaFerrari had to replace the battery due to the charging system going out. This costed him $200k Euros. It is great tech, but not reliable.

It reminds me of the Sesto Elemento which I have seen in person. Still an amazing looking car after all these years. I think this car would look wicked if it was finished in carbon fiber like the Sesto.

Lol at this. If you are going to flinch at the cost if supercar ownership, they maybe you can't afford it.

This is to point out the reliability of current hybrid technology and also a known issue with the P1 and LaFerrari systems. I also wouod like to dispel the myth that those who are wealthy do not look at dollar figures. Can wealthy owners afford these cars and the replacement cost of say a battery? Absolutely, but it does not take away from the fact that it is a sizeable purchase because of unreliable tech. There is a reason the LaFerrari only came with a 90 day warranty.

Why didn't they put in a 5 point harness? Sketchy.

Lamborghini Huracan has been one of the best and most reliable supercars. I would love to get the Performante one day. This STO looks incredible!
