Italian Dukes of Hazzard? Watch this Lamborghini Huracan fly


The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato was built as an “all-terrain” version of the company’s V10-powered supercar, but how far off-road would take yours?

British YouTuber Mark McCann has published a video showing him sending his white Huracan Sterrato around Cowm Quarry, which is located north of Manchester. At numerous points Mr McCann scraped the underbody and front bumper.

The 10 minute-long video culminated in Mr McCann sending his Huracan Sterrato over a jump that he claimed to be steeper, higher, longer and “more sketchy” than one he used in a previous video.

Before attempting the jump, Mr McCann’s Huracan Sterrato flashed up an ABS fault light, which had him worried that he mightn’t be able to stop after the car had landed. Despite this, he went through it.

It’s unclear just how high the Huracan Sterrato went, but in the video it appeared the car was around 1.5-to-2 metres off the ground. Thanks to the numerous cameras on site, we got to see the jump from numerous angles.

Although the Huracan Sterrato is mid-engined, the car appeared to nose dive. Mr McMann didn’t go through what he had actually damaged on the car with all his hooning, but the front bumper appeared to be largely unscathed.

Lamborghini revealed the Huracan Sterrato last year as a rival to the likes of the Porsche 911 Dakar.

Limited to just 1499 units, each Huracan Sterrato is powered by a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine producing 449kW of power and 565Nm of torque.

This is mated to a seven-speed LDF dual-clutch automatic transmission with drive sent through an electronically controlled all-wheel drive system. There’s also a rear mechanical self-locking differential.

Built to offer “optimum performance on unpaved and sandy surfaces”, the Huracan Sterrato has 44mm more ground clearance than the Huracan EVO to “ensure greater suspension travel”.

It also has a 30mm wider front track width (1698mm) and a 34mm wider rear track width (1654mm).

If you owned a Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, would you attempt this kind of jump in yours? Let us know in the comments.
