Lamborghini Huracan STJ Revealed As The Final Tribute To Its Iconic V10 Engine
Lamborghini has unveiled the Huracan STJ, heralding the final iteration of its V10 engine and the Huracan series. The Lamborghini Huracan is limited to just 10 units worldwide.
Drawing inspiration from the Super Trofeo race cars, the STJ is a direct descendant of the acclaimed STO model but introduces unique features and design elements that set it apart to give the Jota badged model its own unique presence.
The Huracan STJ retains the essence of the STO, including its aerodynamic prowess, but adds manually adjustable dampers in place of STO's adaptive system. These new dampers can be customized for both compression and rebound, allowing drivers to fine-tune the vehicle's handling to their preference.
The rest of aerodynamics of the STO are largely kept in the STJ, though the addition of new dive planes on the front clamshell and an adjustment to the rear wing's angle help enhance the aerodynamic performance of the new limited-run Lamborghini Huracan model by ten per cent.
The powertrain remains unchanged with the new Huracan STJ sporting the naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine its paystribute to. The V10 engine on the STJ produces 630bhp and 565Nm at 8,000rpm which is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Mechanical grip levels on the STJ are also up thanks to a set of special Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres that have been specifically designed for this special-run model. The Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres sport a specific high grip compound that are draped over 20-inch centre-lock alloy wheels.
Lamborghini will offer two liveries for the STJ: one in a sleek grey and the other in a deep blue, both designed to accentuate the vehicle's dynamic contours and provide a distinctive appearance from other models in the Huracan lineup.
Thoughts About The Lamborghini Huracan STJ
The Lamborghini Huracan STJ not only serves as a fitting farewell to the V10 engine that has been a hallmark of the firm's lineage ever since it revealed the Gallardo supercar in the early 2000s. Since then it has undergone several revisions and also jumped in size from 5.0-litres to 5.2 litres.
In that time, it has become the darling of supercar spotters and owners around the globe with racous soundtrack and its ability to make big power which has made it a darling of tuners around the world who have fitted it with either supercharger o twin turbo kits that have taken the power to a different level of craziness.
As Lamborghini transitions its smaller supercar lineup towards hybridization with the Huracan's replacement, dubbed the Temerario, due this autumn, the STJ is a fitting farewell to the firm's iconic V10 engine and the Huracan supercar.
