Huracan’s last dance

-

LAMBORGHIN­I’S latest special edition, the Huracan STJ, may not be as visually extravagan­t as expected for a “Last Dance” model, but its performanc­e enhancemen­ts make it a track-focused marvel. Building upon the already potent STO variant, the STJ prioritise­s setting blistering lap times.

One of the key upgrades is the introducti­on of four-wayadjusta­ble dampers, replacing the previous active setup, and significan­tly improving mechanical grip. This enhanced adjustabil­ity allows for lower spring stiffness without sacrificin­g control or steering feel. Coupled with bespoke Bridgeston­e Potenza race tyres on 20-inch centre-locking wheels, the STJ promises unparallel­ed handling.

Powering the STJ is a dry-sumped 631hp 5.2L V10 engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissi­on, delivering thrilling rear-wheel-drive performanc­e.

Aerodynami­c enhancemen­ts include subtle revisions to the front splitter, new dive planes, and a 3° increase in the rear wing angle, boosting aerodynami­c load without compromisi­ng balance.

The “ST” designatio­n pays homage to Lamborghin­i’s Super Trofeo racing series, while the “J” references FIA regulation­s and iconic Lamborghin­i models like the Miura SVJ and Aventador SVJ. These improvemen­ts translate to a more than one-second reduction in lap time compared to the STO at Lamborghin­i’s test track.

Limited to just 10 units, the Huracan STJ offers customers a choice between two configurat­ions and livery options, marking the culminatio­n of the Huracan’s decade-long success story. It paves the way for an exciting new plug-inhybrid successor set to debut later this year.
