The Curtain Call for the V10: Introducing the Lamborghini Huracán STJ
A Huracán STO-based Limited Edition with a V10 Heart
In a grand finale that marks the end of its V10 era, Lamborghini presents the exclusive Huracán STJ model, forged from the pedigree of the Huracán STO.
The Huracán STJ will be an ultra-limited edition, with only ten units being crafted. It features an iconic design that is notably distinct from its base model, the STO—leaving onlookers in awe of its magnificence.
Aerodynamic Mastery in the Huracán STJ
An Aggressive Rear Wing Defines its Profile
STJ, standing for Super Trofeo Jota, pays homage to Lamborghini’s own championship series that began in 2009. The renowned “Jota” insignia alludes to the historical continuity of high-performance Lamborghini models, in accordance with the Appendix J of the FIA regulations defining racecar requirements.
The Aero Package of the Huracán STJ integrates miniature winglets on the bumper sides and sports a domineering rear wing, delivering around 10% more downforce. It also prides itself on adjustable shocks capable of movement in all four directions, which pair seamlessly with 20-inch center-lock wheels, all enveloped in custom Bridgestone Potenza racing tires. Lamborghini has taken this opportunity to further refine the performance metrics of the STJ, building upon the already impressive STO base.
Distinctive Livery and Craftsmanship
Distinguishing the STO from the STJ
In its performance trials on the renowned Italian Nardo track, the Huracán STJ surpassed the STO by cutting the lap time by over one second. For an aesthetic distinction, Lamborghini endowed the STJ with signature dual tone designs including a sleek black rooftop alongside red and white accents, along with a captivating blue exterior.
The lavishly appointed interior showcases a carbon fiber plaque, indicating the remarkable exclusivity of this series, as merely ten units will grace the roads. Owners have the option to customize a passenger-side number plate, while the cabin is tastefully arrayed in black Alcantara with striking red stitching.
Delivering 631 Horsepower Wrapped in Exclusivity
Already Claimed by Enthusiasts
Powered identically to the STO, the Huracán STJ’s powertrain thunders with 631 horsepower and belts out 57 kgf.m of torque. Its delivery is through a seamless seven-speed automatic transmission, set to rear-wheel drive. The STJ harnesses adjustable shocks inspired by the racing realm.
The asking price for the Huracán STJ remains undisclosed, but given the sheer rarity of the ten units, it is likely that they are already in the custody of lucky collectors. Soon, the Huracán lineage will be succeeded by a new model sans the iconic V10, instead featuring a cutting-edge hybrid system paired with a turbocharged engine.
