Automobili Lamborghini presents Huracán STJ, a limited edition of 10 examples and the latest celebration of the super sports car equipped with the naturally aspirated V10 engine, the engineering icon of the Sant'Agata Bolognese brand.
The naturally aspirated V10 engine is a symbol of the history of Automobili Lamborghini and has contributed to the success of the Huracán family, presented in 2014, which by the end of the year will be replaced by a new super sports car equipped with a new hybrid powertrain.
Built on the basis of the Huracán STO, the STJ represents the pinnacle of performance achieved in the history of the Huracán family, thanks to the introduction of an exclusive kit designed to further enhance the racing soul of the Huracan STO. STJ is in fact the acronym for Super Trofeo Jota: Super Trofeo pays homage to the Lamborghini single-brand championship, inaugurated in 2009; the Jota recalls Annex J of the FIA regulations, which establishes the specifications of racing cars, and a long tradition of Lamborghini models developed for the track, starting with the Miura SVJ and continuing with the Aventador SVJ.

Huracán STJ stands out starting from the dedicated aerodynamic kit, developed by the technicians of Lamborghini Squadra Corse starting from the know-how acquired in 10 years at the top in Gran Turismo competitions.
The refined aerodynamics of the STO have been further improved by adding two new carbon aerodynamic appendages (flicks) to the iconic bonnet, while the incidence of the rear wing has been increased by 3° compared to the standard model, to guarantee an increase in aerodynamic load of +10% maintaining perfect balance of the car.
Like the STO, the Huracán STJ delivers a maximum power of 640 HP at 8,000 rpm, developing a torque of 565 Nm (at 8,000 rpm) to be managed with the 7-speed LDF (Lamborghini Doppia Frizione) gearbox, combined with the rear-wheel drive only.
The mechanical grip has been significantly increased thanks to a series of four adjustable racing-derived shock absorbers, which replace the active series components.

The shock absorbers are adjustable on four ways to optimize rebound and compression at both high and low frequencies, allowing total freedom in choosing the set-up based on the characteristics of the circuit.
The particular characteristics of the shock absorbers allow the use of lower spring stiffnesses while maintaining optimal dynamic control of the car, also increasing steering precision.
To maximize driving dynamics, dedicated Bridgestone Potenza Race tires have also been developed, made with a specific high-grip compound, mounted on 20-inch single-nut rims.
The performance kit allows the Huracán STJ to further elevate the performance of the Huracán STO, with an improvement in lap time of over 1 second on the handling track at the Nardò Technical Center, recorded during development tests.

The aesthetics also reflect the exclusivity and sporty character of the car, available in two different configurations and liveries expressly designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile. The first combines a body in Grigio Telesto coordinated with the roof in Nero Noctis and details in Rosso Mars and Bianco Isi, while the passenger compartment is characterized by Alcantara seats in Nero Cosmus with leather details and contrasting stitching in Rosso Alala.
The second configuration includes the bodywork in Blu Eliadi with a Nero Noctis roof and Rosso Mars and Bianco Isi details. Both versions also include the dedicated and numbered carbon “1 of 10” plate. In addition, the passenger side can be embellished with a customizable plate according to the customer's specifications.
Fuel consumption and emission values for Huracán STO; Combined Consumption and Emissions: 13.9 l/100km (WLTP); Combined CO₂ emissions: 331 g/km (WLTP)
