Bridgestone exclusive OE on Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato

On 30 November 2022 Automobili Lamborghini launched its unconventionally rally-equipped Huracán Sterrato at Art Basel, Miami Beach. Compared with the Huracán EVO, the Sterrato comes with an updated version of the LDVI (Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics) system, with specific strada and sport calibrations, and bringing the rally mode for low-grip conditions to the Huracán line for the first time. It is also exclusively factory fitted with Bridgestone tyres.

The Huracán Sterrato is equipped with a 5.2-litre V10 engine with maximum power output of 610 CV and 560 Nm of torque (at 6500 rpm), combined with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and electronically controlled all-wheel drive with rear mechanical self-locking differential. Designed to offer optimum performance on unpaved and sandy surfaces, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (ca. 60 mph) in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h (ca. 160 mph).

In order to handle all this power, the car features 19-inch wheels exclusively fitted with Bridgestone Dueler AT002 tyres in 235/40 R19 (front) and 285/40 R19 (rear). The tyres incorporate run-flat technology and have been bespoke designed for the vehicle by Bridgestone.

The car also comes with brakes featuring aluminium fixed mono-block calipers with six pistons (front) and four pistons (rear) and ventilated and cross-drilled carbon-ceramic discs with 380 mm diameter and 38 mm thickness at the front and 356 mm diameter and 32 mm thickness at the rear.

“True to our values as a visionary, bold and unconventional brand, with the Sterrato we are breaking new ground in driving sensations,” commented Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini chairman and CEO. “Presenting the car at Art Basel in Miami reflects how, just like an avant-garde work of art, the Sterrato represents a radical and original interpretation of the super sports car concept but, in terms of performance, the Sterrato belongs in the world’s most dynamic and exciting driving environments.”

Lamborghini will start limited-edition production of 1499 units in February 2023. The cars themselves will available from the fourth quarter of 2023.
