Blue Lamborghini Huracan STO

Ferruccio Lamborghini never believed that racing improved the breed, with the cars his eponymous company built under his leadership all being designed more for street theater than circuit thrills. That ethos slowly changed over the years, yet Lamborghini’s first major motorsports victory came about only relatively recently. This may explain why the Italian brand’s 2021 Huracán STO is arriving conspicuously late to the street-legal, track-focused supercar party, joining the ranks of Porsche’s RS cars, long-tail McLarens, Black Series AMGs, and Ferrari’s Challenge/Scuderia/Pista/Speciale models.

The car’s naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 makes no more power and slightly less torque than the Performante—631 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque, to be exact—but has been tuned for sharper responses. The car also comes only with rear-wheel drive, its body is almost entirely carbon fiber (including a one-piece front clamshell), and the cabin has been largely gutted. Lamborghini claims these modifications shave 95 pounds of mass over the 3429-pound Performante, despite the STO’s addition of a new rear-axle steering system.

With all that being said, we thought this Lamborghini Huracan STO pair perfectly with a set of our Brixton Forged CM6-R Ultrasport+ Series wheels finished in Firecracker Black (Gloss).
