What Lamborghini has done here is better than anything you’ll see on Netflix

O.T.T.

‘Road-legal race car’, ‘race car for the road’ and ‘track car for the road’ are pretty common descriptors all sports car makers use quite regularly. However, the most famous homologated cars are a rare breed, built only to meet a racing series rule stating that participating cars must be based on a model people can buy. Lamborghini took a rather convoluted route for the Huracan STO, though — they first modified a road legal Huracan Evo for their Super Trofeo series, won at Daytona for three and at Sebring for two consecutive years, brought all these learnings back to the Evo and finally created the Huracan STO. In case you’re wondering, STO stands for Super Trofeo Omologata (omologata is Italian for homologated).

The Huracan STO is as subtle as, well, a bull in the proverbial china shop. I mean, look at it and tell me you can’t see this car means business. Here are some numbers to add to the incredulity — the STO is 43 kg lighter and has 53 per cent more downforce than the Huracan Performante, it has a shark fin to keep the air straight over the massive, manually adjustable rear wing, magnesium wheels, extra carbon-fibre body panels, a flat underfloor, a thinner windshield and an unmissable V10 engine that makes 640 bhp and 57.5 kgm of torque. It also has a red line of 8,500 rpm, no hybrid-electric support and an exhaust note that you want to bottle up and sell. The Huracan STO is loud, aurally and visually, and carries it all off without a care in the world.
