Lamborghini unveils the Huracan STJ
AS a tribute to its iconic V10 engine, Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the Huracan STJ, a limited edition series comprising only ten units. This marks the final celebration of the legendary super sports car equipped with the V10 powerplant, an emblematic feature of the Sant’Agata Bolognese marque.
The Huracan STJ stands for ‘Super Trofeo Jota.’
The unveiling of the Huracan STJ signals the culmination of a remarkable chapter in Lamborghini’s history, as the V10 engine has been instrumental in the success of the Huracan family since its debut in 2014. However, with the year drawing to a close, Lamborghini will bid adieu to this era as it prepares to introduce an all-new super sports car equipped with a cutting-edge hybrid powertrain.
Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Huracan STO, the STJ edition represents the pinnacle of performance within the Huracan lineage. It features an exclusive performance enhancement package designed to elevate the racing pedigree of the Huracan STO even further. The acronym STJ stands for “Super Trofeo Jota,” paying homage to Lamborghini’s one-make championship and referencing the FIA regulations governing racing car specifications.
Distinguished by its dedicated aerodynamic package, meticulously crafted by Lamborghini Squadra Corse technicians, the Huracan STJ boasts enhanced aerodynamics inherited from the STO model. Notable additions include the iconic “cofango” — two innovative carbon fiber aerodynamic appendages — and an increased rear wing angle to ensure a 10-percent boost in aerodynamic load while maintaining perfect balance.
Under the hood, the Huracan STJ delivers a formidable power output of 640 CV at 8,000 rpm, coupled with a torque of 565 Nm, all managed by a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Mechanical grip is significantly enhanced by a set of four adjustable racing-derived shock absorbers, offering unparalleled control and precision on the track.
The aesthetic appeal of the Huracan STJ is equally striking, with two distinct configuration and livery options meticulously crafted by Lamborghini Centro Stile. Customers can choose between a sleek combination of the Grigio Telesto bodywork with Nero Noctis accents, or a bold Blu Eliadi exterior with Nero Noctis highlights. Both configurations feature a bespoke numbered carbon fiber plate denoting the exclusivity of the model.
In addition to its performance and aesthetics, the Huracan STJ offers a personalized touch, allowing customers to add a custom plate according to their preferences. With its limited production and unrivaled performance, the Huracan STJ serves as a fitting farewell to the V10 era, cementing its status as a collector’s gem in the annals of automotive history.
This final ode to the V10 era encapsulates Lamborghini’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and engineering excellence. As the automotive landscape evolves, the Huracan STJ stands as a testament to Lamborghini’s enduring legacy and relentless pursuit of automotive perfection.
