Designed Like a Lamborghini, This Laptop Stand Replaces 3 Accessories

Posted on by

Laptop stands have come a long way from the simple plastic risers that used to pass for ergonomic solutions. More students and young professionals are rethinking their workspaces, and the demand for accessories that do more with less is steadily growing. Add a lamp, a phone charger, and a stand for the screen, and before long, the desk meant for focus starts looking more like a cable management problem.

The Exolevate concept tackles that problem from an unexpected angle, wrapping the solution in a finish inspired by Lamborghini. It’s a laptop stand that aims to replace three separate accessories with one and, in doing so, cut the clutter while improving posture. The boldness of its design language makes it clear this wasn’t built for someone who just wants something functional and forgettable.

Designer: Arnav Ashwin

The concept’s starting point is a familiar complaint. Young adults who spend 35 to 40 percent of their time at a workstation gradually accumulate neck pain, back strain, and a screen position that was never quite right. Raising the laptop to eye level with adjustable height and angle addresses the most direct version of that problem, bringing the screen where it actually belongs.

That’s a good start, but Exolevate doesn’t stop there. The stand integrates an adjustable table lamp that swings out to light a writing area beside the laptop, which is useful for anyone splitting attention between a screen and physical notes. The lamp is built into the stand’s structure rather than added alongside it, which means one fewer cord to trace across the desk during a late-night study session.

The base takes the consolidation further. A wireless charging pad is embedded directly into the platform, so a phone can sit there and charge without an extra cable sneaking into the picture. It’s a thoughtful addition for anyone who already has too many things plugged in, and it frees up the desk surface for the notepad, the keyboard, and everything else that actually needs to be there.

None of that would look quite as interesting without the design language tying it together. Exolevate draws from Lamborghini’s aerodynamic forms, borrowing sharp angles and aggressive lines and translating them into the stand’s aluminum profile. The “electric kumquat” finish, a vivid orange sourced from trend forecaster WGSN, gives the concept the kind of confident, eye-catching presence that most workspace accessories aren’t bold enough to attempt.

The hinges use a two-way friction mechanism to hold the stand at any chosen angle without slipping, while the aluminum frame keeps the structure light. For a student who already has too much on the desk and not enough on the budget for a complete workspace overhaul, the Exolevate proposes a more consolidated answer. It’s a stand that also illuminates and charges, finished in a color that refuses to be ignored.

This 2026 Lamborghini F1 Livery Proves the Raging Bull Belongs on the Grid (Even If It Never Happens)

Posted on by

The 2026 F1 season marks the biggest technical reset the sport has seen in over a decade, with new power unit regulations that push electric deployment even harder and a reshuffled grid that includes Audi’s factory entry and Cadillac arriving as a legitimate constructor. It’s the kind of moment when the paddock genuinely opens up to new possibilities, when manufacturers who’ve been sitting on the sidelines start doing the math on whether an F1 program could actually make sense. Lamborghini will almost certainly remain on those sidelines, because spending nine figures annually to race in a series where your parent company already fields a team (Audi, also owned by Volkswagen Group) would be corporate redundancy at its most wasteful. But that didn’t stop designer Daniel Rodriguez from asking what a Lamborghini livery would look like if Sant’Agata Bolognese decided to crash the party anyway. If it did, it would be the third bull-based team on the track after Red Bull and Racing Bulls!

Rodriguez’s concept wraps a 2026-spec F1 car in Arancio Borealis and gloss black with a geometric lattice pattern that pulls directly from Lamborghini’s current design vocabulary. The hexagonal graphics echo the Revuelto’s taillight treatment and the angular obsession that defines the brand’s styling language, flowing from dense at the cockpit to sparse at the rear wing. Italian flag accents trace the halo and nose cone, sponsor logos for Macron and Eni add commercial credibility, and the raging bull emblem sits on the rear wing endplates where it would photograph beautifully in the pit lane even if TV cameras never caught it. The renders are good enough to pass for official press shots, lit with the kind of moody amber-to-black gradients that Lamborghini’s own marketing team would approve.

Designer: Daniel Rodriguez

What makes this livery work is that Rodriguez doesn’t try to make the F1 car look like a Lamborghini road car, because that’s impossible and also beside the point. An F1 car is a regulatory sculpture shaped by wind tunnel data and the FIA’s technical rulebook, and no amount of vinyl wrap changes that fundamental reality. Instead, the livery translates Lamborghini’s graphic and color vocabulary into a form factor that has nothing to do with mid-engine supercars, and it does so in a way that feels both authentic to the brand and appropriate for the paddock. The Arancio Borealis orange sits somewhere between molten lava and a traffic cone, instantly recognizable as Lamborghini without requiring the car to sprout scissor doors or a V12 exhaust note. The gloss black creates genuine visual tension rather than just contrast, breaking up the body in a way that emphasizes the car’s aerodynamic surfaces instead of fighting them.

The hexagonal lattice pattern running down the sidepods and over the engine cover is the detail that sells the whole concept. Lamborghini has been obsessed with hexagons since the Aventador introduced them as a recurring motif back in 2011, and they’ve since migrated to every surface the brand touches. Taillights, grilles, interior stitching, wheel designs, all of it hexagons. Rodriguez takes that obsession and applies it to the F1 car’s sidepods in a way that creates visual density without cluttering the canvas. The pattern starts tight and geometric at the front, creating a sense of structural integrity, then gradually opens up as it flows rearward, giving the eye a path to follow from cockpit to diffuser. It’s a graphic solution that respects both the brand’s identity and the car’s aerodynamic purpose.

The Italian tricolor is handled with restraint, running as a thin accent stripe that outlines the halo and reappears on the nose cone. It’s subtle enough to avoid looking like a generic tribute to the brand’s Sant’Agata Bolognese heritage, but prominent enough that the car reads as distinctly Italian when parked next to Ferrari’s red. The sponsor integration is equally thoughtful. Macron, the Italian sportswear brand that already kits out Bologna FC and the Italian national rugby team, appears on the sidepods and rear wing. Eni, the Italian energy giant with deep motorsport ties, gets placement on the engine cover. Both partnerships feel plausible rather than fantastical, the kind of commercial relationships Lamborghini could actually secure if they showed up to the grid tomorrow.

Even the mandated wheel covers, which the 2026 regulations require for aerodynamic efficiency and which most teams treat as blank canvases or necessary evils, get the hexagon treatment here. It’s a small detail that maintains visual consistency across every surface, ensuring the car reads as a cohesive design rather than a collection of sponsor panels held together by regulations. The raging bull emblem on the rear wing endplates is rendered in white against black, a detail that would be nearly invisible during race broadcasts but would photograph beautifully in static pit lane shots and pre-race media coverage.

Will Lamborghini actually enter F1 in 2026 or beyond? Almost certainly not. The economics don’t justify it, the brand’s identity doesn’t need F1 validation, and their motorsport budget is better spent on GT3 programs that connect directly to road car sales. But Rodriguez’s concept does something more valuable than predicting the future. It proves that Lamborghini’s design language is strong enough to survive translation into a form factor it was never intended for, and it shows what the 2026 grid would look like with a raging bull parked next to the prancing horse.

This Off-Road Lamborghini Countach Concept Is the Rally Monster We Never Got

Posted on by

Marcello Gandini’s work on the original Lamborghini Countach was a masterclass in geometric purity and visual momentum. Its design is characterized by a single, powerful line that runs from the sharp nose to the abrupt tail, creating a sense of forward motion even at a standstill. The body is a collection of interconnected trapezoids and clean angles, forming a cohesive whole that is both brutally simple and endlessly complex. This was a car designed as a piece of kinetic sculpture, an object whose form was so powerful it became a cultural touchstone for an entire generation.

Akuseru’s redesign (dubbed CNTCH O/R) serves as a compelling case study in translating a core design philosophy to an entirely new context. The artist has lifted the vehicle to an impossible height and fitted it for off-road duty, yet the fundamental principles of Gandini’s vision are preserved. The primary longitudinal line remains the focal point, providing visual stability to the lifted chassis. The geometric window shapes and angular body panels are still present, creating a clear lineage to the original. It is a powerful demonstration of how a truly iconic design language can be adapted to speak an entirely different dialect of performance.

Designer: Akuseru

That ride height is the first real shock to the system, a complete inversion of a car that originally stood just over a meter tall. What Akuseru has done is fundamentally re-engineer the car’s relationship with the ground. The track width appears massively expanded, giving the chassis a planted, bulldog-like stance that prevents it from looking precariously top-heavy. The original LP400 was already wide for its time at 1,890 millimeters, but this concept surely pushes past the 2,000-millimeter mark, a necessity for maintaining stability with that much suspension travel. The huge, knobby all-terrain tires are tucked into muscular, squared-off fenders that feel like a logical extension of Gandini’s original hexagonal wheel arches.

The cooling solutions on display are a fantastic nod to the Countach’s history. The prominent NACA ducts behind the doors are a direct tribute, but the roof scoop is the real masterstroke. It immediately brings to mind the original LP400 “Periscopio” models, which had a small periscope-style trench in the roof for rear visibility. Here, it has been repurposed into a functional air intake, feeding the mid-mounted engine with clean air above the dust line. It is a clever, historically aware detail that shows a deep appreciation for the source material, blending a quirky design feature from the past with a genuine performance requirement for an off-road vehicle. The entire upper deck becomes a study in functional aerodynamics wrapped in that signature angular aesthetic.

Look past the aggressive rubber and you start to see the rally-raid DNA asserting itself throughout. The exposed red tow points punched through the front and rear valances are pure motorsport function, a stark contrast to the original production models that had bumpers tacked on almost as an afterthought. This is a machine built with the expectation of getting stuck and needing a pull. Akuseru’s design integrates these functional elements so they feel like part of the core aesthetic, not accessories. The entire lower section of the car seems reinforced, suggesting a full-length skid plate to protect the V12’s oil pan from whatever terrain it might be conquering.

 

The rear of the car is arguably where Akuseru takes the most creative license, and it pays off handsomely. The original’s simple trapezoidal taillights are replaced by a full-width, pixelated LED bar that spells out the Countach name. This is a thoroughly modern touch, yet it feels perfectly at home within the car’s angular framework. It gives the rear a sense of width and presence that the original sometimes lacked. Below it, the exposed exhaust system and industrial-looking rear diffuser complete the transformation from exotic supercar to brutalist off-road weapon. It is an unapologetically aggressive look that feels earned by the rest of the vehicle’s purposeful modifications.

The interior shots show those iconic scissor doors. This is both wildly impractical for off-road use and absolutely essential for maintaining that theatrical Countach character. Imagine pulling up to a desert bivouac after a long stage and throwing those doors skyward. The cabin itself appears surprisingly spacious, with what looks like modern racing seats and a cockpit designed around actual usability rather than pure drama. The tan and bronze color palette inside the copper variant creates a warm, luxurious contrast to the rugged exterior, suggesting this is a machine that can tackle the Dakar Rally in style. You can see the structural reinforcements through the open doors, beefy roll cage elements that speak to serious safety considerations beyond the visual concept.

From above, the proportions reveal themselves in full. The engine deck, massive and angular, dominates the rear third of the car with ventilation grilles that look ready to handle serious heat dissipation. Those “V12” badges flanking the rear air intakes are a nice touch, a reminder of the naturally aspirated heart that would theoretically be beating beneath all this rally armor. The wheel and tire package looks genuinely capable, the kind of setup you’d see on a serious off-road build with multi-ply sidewalls and enough meat to handle serious articulation. The fender flares are substantial without being cartoonish, maintaining the Countach’s taut muscularity while accommodating the larger rubber.

 

Akuseru’s CNTCH O/R understands the spirit of the Countach. The original was never about being the most practical, the most comfortable, or even the fastest car in a straight line. It was about shock, awe, and a refusal to compromise on its wild vision. Akuseru’s rally-spec redesign captures that same energy. In an era where even Lamborghini’s own off-road special, the Huracán Sterrato, feels somewhat restrained, this concept is a reminder of what happens when a brilliant design is pushed to its most illogical and exciting conclusion. It is a fantasy, but it is a well-engineered and deeply respectful one.

Limited Edition iXOOST Esavox Speaker features a real Lamborghini exhaust to power your sound

Posted on by

If you’ve ever admired the sculpted lines of a Lamborghini supercar and thought, “I wish I could bring that into my living room”, then the new collaboration from iXOOST offers exactly that in audio form. Known for their bold pieces that bridge high-end hi-fi and automotive design, iXOOST ESAVOX Bluetooth speaker system, crafted from real Lamborghini exhaust components and carbon-fibre supercar materials, is designed to blur the line between listening room and showroom.

The ESAVOX isn’t just a styled speaker; it is built around the actual exhaust cover of a Lamborghini Aventador, nestled in a monocoque chassis made from autoclave-cured 3K twill carbon fiber, with hexagonal motifs and sharp edges that echo Lamborghini’s design language.

Designer: iXOOST

Inside this sculptural cabinet lies serious audio hardware: two 1-inch tweeters, two 6.5-inch mid-bass drivers, and a 10-inch down-firing subwoofer, powered by a total output of 640 W amplification. The frequency response extends down to 20 Hz, delivering bass you feel as much as hear. Weighing in at approximately 117 lb and measuring 49 inches x 20 inches x 26 inches, the ESAVOX is clearly not for casual portability but for a dedicated listening space or display garage.

Its styling comes in the iconic Lamborghini palette: Green Gea, Grey Keres Matte, Orange Anthaeus, Red Epona, Blue Uranus and White Siderale. The speaker is produced in a strictly limited run of just 63 units worldwide, which makes it highly desirable.  On the connectivity front, you get Bluetooth 5.0 and traditional RCA inputs, allowing both wireless streaming and classic wired sources. The power supply supports 110–240 V, making it globally deployable.

So what makes this more than just a flashy statement piece? For one, the use of genuine Lamborghini parts and automotive-grade materials lends it a storytelling edge: a carbon fibre monocoque, passive vibration damping (akin to a race-car chassis), and an aesthetic lifted directly from the supercar world. On the other hand, from an audio-engineering perspective, the configuration of large mid/bass drivers plus a substantial subwoofer and dedicated amplification points to real performance ambitions rather than just looks.

That said, its size, weight, price, and niche appeal mean the ESAVOX is designed for a particular buyer: a Lamborghini owner or ultra-luxury audio aficionado who wants a unique ‘hero piece’ for home audio, not someone seeking a practical bookshelf speaker. The iXOOST ESAVOX for Automobili Lamborghini fuses automotive heritage, high-end craftsmanship, and serious audio hardware into a distinctive luxury item. If you have the space, budget and passion for both supercars and high-end sound, this is a conversation piece that delivers both visually and sonically. As ever, buyers should consider installation logistics, room-tuning, and source equipment to make the most of its capabilities.

Automobili Lamborghini ESAVOX is going to be up for grabs in the U.K. via Harrods of London, and also on display at the renowned Knightsbridge store in the pristine Green Gea color. The speaker is priced at £34,999 (approximately $46,000) for which you can buy a Ford Mustang, if you want to go for the real thing.

2024 Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato Debuts Exclusive Livery – All-Terrain Luxury Meets Design at Milan Design Week

Posted on by

At Milan Design Week 2024, Lamborghini unveiled the ‘All Terrain’ Ad Personam series for the Huracán Sterrato in a dazzling display that redefined what a super sports car can be. This limited edition series, featuring 12 uniquely designed vehicles, brilliantly reflects the earth’s varied landscapes through sophisticated design and technological advancements.

Designer: Lamborghini’s Ad Personam studio + Centro Stile

Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini, highlighted the Sterrato’s dual nature at the event. He emphasized its capacity as both a performance vehicle and an adventurous explorer, capable of forging new paths with the same ease as it races down a track. The design of the Sterrato, a product of the collaborative genius of Lamborghini’s Ad Personam studio and Centro Stile, embodies this ethos. Each version of the car is painted in a matte camouflage scheme that corresponds to different environments: NEVE (snow), SABBIA (sand), BOSCO (green track), and TERRA (gravel), further accentuated by a matte black finish on the roof, bonnet, and lower body, accented with unique colors, 19” matte black forged rims, and custom caliper colors.

Inside, the Sterrato continues its thematic journey with dark chrome, carbon twill, and Alcantara finishes, enhanced with custom graphics and an Ad Personam plate that reflects the external livery. Mitja Borkert, Head of Design, shared, “The All-Terrain Sterrato is a true Lamborghini in its dynamic abilities and surprises by delivering the unexpected. It’s a joy to drive and ready for any adventure.”

The Milan presentation featured a dramatic stage display with a giant Trompe L’Oeil, created by an Italian artist, setting a perfect backdrop that echoed the power of nature and the promise of adventure.

I must admit, I’m quite envious that Tim Stevens had the opportunity to experience the Sterrato firsthand. In his review, Tim applauded the vehicle for its exceptional all-weather performance, dramatic styling, and the immersive sound of its 5.2-liter V10 engine. Though he pointed out some visibility issues and the absence of ‘Corsa mode,’ the Sterrato was praised for its robust performance across diverse conditions and its distinctive styling that builds on the legacy of the LM002.

He described the interior as maintaining Lamborghini’s luxurious standards with bespoke elements that cater to both comfort and style. The car’s raised suspension and specialized Bridgestone Dueler AT002 tires exemplify its readiness for rugged terrain, while the powerful V10 engine assures a thrilling drive wherever you may roam.

Milan Design Week certainly wouldn’t have felt complete without these gorgeous, beastly performance cars making their mark. And for those now compelled to own one, a quick note: the 12 cars in this special Ad Personam series are already sold out, highlighting the allure and exclusive appeal of the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato.

Lamborghini Countach LP400 replica flaunts intricate scissor doors and rear-view periscope mirror

Posted on by

The Lamborghini Countach LP400 was the first generation of its kind and way ahead of time in terms of design given it debuted way back in 1974. Those scissor doors and the rear-view periscope mirror that vanished into the roof, just like the periscope of a submarine captured the imagination of performance car lovers. Fast forward to the current day and Lambo is basking in the glory of the Revuelto plug-in hybrid supercar.

Amalgam Collection, a brand out of Bristol, UK, renowned for making the most detailed scale model replicas of famous four-wheelers like the Ferrari 296 GT3 sportscar has again caught our attention. This time they’ve created intricate 1:8 scale models of both the Revuelto and Countach LP400. Since we like things classic, so for now our focus is the nostalgic LP400 scale model that’s handmade to perfection with thousands of precisely engineered parts completing the build.

Designer: Amalgam Collection

As expected from the scale model builder, this fully-opening scale replica took almost 400 hours of the craftspeople’s time and skillful effort. The design took shape from the original CAD models and digital scan files provided. Further details were obtained from the thousands of pictures of the classic 4.0-liter V12-powered supercar. If we overlook the 250-400 hours of creating each of the scale model units, the initial time input to develop the tooling for vehicles that the maker has never before made alone takes a mind-boggling 2,500 – 4,000 hours!

According to Amalgam, the exterior and interior of the car will be accurately replicated to the last visible detail. These include the color of the seat stitching, brake calipers, steering wheel, speaker indents, manual shifter, license plates, and even the ashtray in the center console. Predictably, the front trunk has a spare tire and the headlights can be toggled between up and down position.

They further added that their long-term collaboration with Lamborghini  permits them full access to “the brand’s paint codes, color samples, and every personalized detail to ensure their model matches their full-size counterpart.”

There will be a limited number of 199 units of the scale model Countach LP400 in Giallo Fly yellow or Rosso red color options. This model is priced at approximately $19,900 for automotive collectors willing to pay any price for such intricate works of art. You could buy a real sedan for that price tag!

EDITOR'S QUOTE:

A beautiful all-weather supercar, a true joy in inclement conditions, and a hell of a lot of fun even when the roads are dry and smooth.

The Huracan is getting on a bit. Now entering its 10th year of production, it’s not quite as long in the tooth as the venerable Aventador became before it was finally replaced last year, but it’s getting there.

To keep things feeling fresh, the Huracan formula must keep tweaking and extending. Typically, Lamborghini does this by slapping letters like S, SV, and SVJ to its cars, dialing up the power and asking price all the while. The Sterrato, though, is something new, something different, and, as it turns out, something extraordinary.

The concept

The Huracan Sterrato is, quite simply, the ultimate off-road Lamborghini. Sure, the Urus has more ground clearance and would surely be better for climbing up a rocky trail, but the rest of the time it offers little in terms of Lamborghini feel and flare. There was also the LM002 SUV of the 1980s. That thing was a true off-road beast, but having piloted one around Northern Italy, I can tell you that when it comes to actual driving enjoyment, there’s not much to be had.

Meanwhile, the Sterrato looks and drives like a true Lamborghini, just one that’s had a few subtle additions and enhancements to ensure that the fun doesn’t stop when the asphalt does.

That starts with the suspension, which raises the car by 44 mm. Part of that lift is helped by the tread on a set of chunky Bridgestone Dueler AT002 tires mounted to 19-inch wheels. Five wheels, as it happens, with the car you see here outfitted with an optional spare mounted to the roof. That, though, is one option that I can’t recommend against strongly. The Sterrato, you see, doesn’t come with a jack, so even if you get a flat, you’ll have no way to change that wheel.

The engine, the Huracan’s brilliant 610-horsepower 5.2-liter V10, comes with top-mounted air intake, which not only looks fantastic but should help the engine suck in a little less grit on a dusty rally trail.

The rest of the changes are more on the lifestyle side, as ever, “style” being the most important part. The Sterrato comes with a pair of permanently affixed roof rails, to which you can mount crossbars and put whatever accessories you like. The car you see here came into my life with a top cargo basket of sorts, but given my wintery testing, a ski rack would have been more appropriate.

Chunky, bolted-on fender flares at every corner add stance and aggression, while some light underbody protection should keep gravel and the like from damaging that aluminum and composite chassis.

The overall shape and appearance of the Huracan isn’t much impacted. It looks essentially the same as it ever did, just slightly angrier and, most importantly, more ready for adventure.

Interior

On the inside, Sterrato-specific changes are few. Lamborghini offers a pair of all-weather, rubber floor mats that fit perfectly and extend up the sides of the Huracan’s microfiber-lined interior. They’re a must-have if you’ll be braving inclement conditions.

But otherwise, it’s much the same interior as we’ve seen elsewhere in the Huracan. Alcantara is the material of choice, feeling luxurious and looking great, especially with the contrasting yellow stitching and the lurid seatbelts to match. The attention to detail here is impressive, and while many will find the styling a bit excessive, it’s absolutely on-point for a Lamborghini.

The Huracan was recently updated with a new touchscreen interface that is simple but effective. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are on offer, but only wired. There’s also Alexa in here if you have an active Amazon account.

More importantly are the various telemetry screens on offer, including a new one for the Sterrato that shows off-road angle information, plus GPS coordinates, just perfect for when you’re really going out there. I found the differential display far more interesting, showing in real-time where the Huracan is sending its power, front-to-rear and side-to-side. As much of my testing was done in low-grip situations, it was a never-ending source of entertainment to see the flow of torque.

While entertaining to watch, you won’t need to spend much time stabbing at that touchscreen. Most of the essential driving controls are right on the steering wheel. Your left thumb controls the turn signals plus flashing or toggling the high beams. On the right, you’ll find the windshield wiper button.

The mode toggle is on the bottom, customized for the Sterrato. Strada is the default mode on top, followed by the racier Sport, and then Rally, a new dedicated, low-grip, high-performance mode that is the hallmark of this car. The final controls within reach are the column-mounted shift paddles, made of metal and standing proud behind the wheel.

While most inputs are on the wheel, the Huracan still has plenty of physical controls elsewhere, including a row of plastic toggles that run above the touchscreen and that iconic, crimson ENGINE START/STOP button in the center console lurking under a plastic protector. Flip that up, stab the button, and everything changes.

Ignition

The Sterrato’s V10 is situated just about a foot behind the driver’s right ear, so when it spins into life, you absolutely know it.

However, to enjoy the engine’s sound, you need to toggle to Sport mode, which opens up the exhaust and adds a fair bit of bass to the experience.

In fact, you’re better off avoiding Strada mode almost entirely. The Sterrato’s default drive mode is extremely, oddly tame. It’s always trying to run you a gear or two higher in the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission than you might like and feels quite reluctant to downshift. It also enables the somewhat annoying engine start/stop feature (which you can quickly disable if you like). Finally, it’s all too eager to drop the V10 down to an inline five-cylinder whenever you’re light on the throttle.

Driven in this way, I managed 15.1 mpg during my testing, which is quite reasonable for a 600-plus hp car. Indeed, that’s precisely why that mode exists. But if you want an engaging drive, step on up to Sport.

In Sport, everything just feels better. The shifts are rougher than before, but they’re lightning-quick and exactly where you want them to be. The exhaust sounds better, the engine is more responsive, and the Sterrato just feels ready to play.

However, it’s in Rally mode when things get wild. This new mode was designed to provide a much more playful experience in low-grip situations, allowing the Sterrato to spin up its wheels with more aggression than would normally be beneficial for a high-grip situation like the Corsa mode was designed for, which is found on other Huracans.

In Rally, the Sterrato is happy to let you let loose, not cutting power for me even when all four wheels were spinning wildly on an icy surface. It did cut power when I made larger steering inputs, being somewhat selective in how much counter-steering was allowed before it decided I needed some help. But it certainly didn’t ruin the fun.

I do, though, lament the loss of the Corsa mode. While the Rally mode is a good trade, it’s a shame you can’t have both. After all, though its suspension is softer, with a proper set of tires the Sterrato would still be a wonderful track day toy.

Regarding the tires, the Sterrato’s Dueler AT002s are rated for mud and snow, but certainly seem better suited for the former. While I wasn’t able to test that condition, I did spend lots of time amid wintery stuff with the Sterrato you see here. The tires didn’t provide the confidence offered by a dedicated snow tire, especially in more icy conditions, but they delivered plenty of grip to have fun. Most importantly, when they gave up that grip, they did so in a clean, predictable manner.

Options and pricing

The Huracan Sterrato starts at $273,177, plus a $3,695 destination charge and a $2,100 gas guzzler tax. The car you see here had a suite of mostly cosmetic options, including $9,800 for the lovely Giallo Inti paint and $7,600 for the sports seats.

It doesn’t take long to add another six figures onto the price of your Sterrato, with this one costing $348,649 in total, but that’s the name of the game with a car like this.

The Sterrato’s performance, however, is anything but predictable. It’s a beautiful all-weather supercar, a true joy in inclement conditions, and a hell of a lot of fun even when the roads are dry and smooth. It’s even more comfortable to drive than a regular Huracan and much less likely to dig its nose into the slightest inclines, too.

It’s the complete package, and while you’ll certainly have to pay for it, it feels very much worth every penny.
