Like Driving an Actual Race Car on the Street: Lambo's INSANE Huracan STO - One Take

Head to www.amazon.com/dp/B081RW3NCP to get one of these AMAZING, compact, collapsible gas pouches.
Although we tested the new, 'Super Trofeo Omologato,' the homologated racing car, on track a few months ago, we knew we just had to try it on the street to see if it was remotely civil. Lamborghini makes no qualms about the fact that this is the most extreme version of the Huracan ever, focused primarily on trackday exploits, and on replicating the feel, adjustability, and performance of the actual GT3 race car. And with no trunk, very little sound deadening, and ridiculously sharp controls, this car absolutely succeeds there. But what about on a bumpy canyon road? Will it be too much?
Check out our TRACK test to see the limits of the STO's handling! • The Lamborghini Huraca...

Which "street legal race car" would you daily?

[@TheConorMLife]

I’d probably go with one of Porsche’s GT RS models. I’m a little biased because I love Porsche lol

[@luisbalderrama8145]

Naw

[@GrabberSmurf]

That section of Castaic Lake is very bumpy! Definitely past the dead end you get to some great driving sections. If you didn’t know, If you take that exit where I presume the dead end was, you will get to another area of road which has some good driving sections, but definitely more traffic. “San francisquito road”

I think that's the greatest thing about the Huracan platform: it's not always loud and obnoxious, you can put it in auto like you said and just cruise and listen to music with the AC on like you're in any other car, barring the people who will be hanging out their windows with their cellphones trying to get pictures while on the highway. But once you flip that switch on the wheel to Trofeo, the gloves come off and it's a whole 'nother animal.

[@prodmerc-rp3ye]

absolutely gorgeous car

[@fullsendsimracing]

That was a minor "code brown" moment there with cold tires lol. I'd really wanna know which one of these class of cars would you pick for some extensive track usage? This, AMG GT BS, GT2RS, 765 and the Pista perhaps? It's a seriously tough pick that one

[@komrobert]

I don't think GT2RS is even close tbh based on the comparisons I've seen to the GT BS, it's probably GT Black Series or this. 765LT is insanely quick, but from what I understand it's really still a street car first. Senna is pretty insane, but that one is also a lot more expensive lol. The Pista doesn't seem very compromised by comparison, so I'd assume that's not hardcore enough to be in the running either.

[@oboy9094]

@@komrobert when you say the 765 is still a street car, but is it? The 720 is comfortable and has amazing power, very comfy car kinda Jekyll and hide on the track and driving home. Then they turned out the 800 hp long tail model with the usual lt recipe lighter (carbon everything , alacantera, Lexan windshields that are paper thin. When you can hear every pebble within your carbon fiber monocoque in sub 3000 pound car that’s faster than the one we already thought was crazy fast the 720s. My personal fave are forced induction huracan performante. Cheers

[@JStryker7]

I’d say the STO is best but it would be a difficult choice because of the Aventador. As for the others, I would pick the AMG since it’s the most special of the remaining choices and still more usable than the STO.

[@stevenshipman6290]

[@1johpo]

It's definitely not the PRETTIEST Huracan (That still belongs to the Performante) but it's DEFINITELY the most badass!

[@PsunnProductions]

I remember when the Performante was released, how insane that car seemed. Just goes to show the impressive progression that the Huracan has undergone throughout the years.

Sounds incredibly similar to a Super Trofeo or GT3 both engine and shifting sounds. I think mine would be pretty close to track only we’re i getting one.

[@IndependenceCityMotoring]

Can put on a roof rack/roof box for luggage for road trips?

[@eichler721]

Love the STO and against the AMG Black Series that's a hard pick and I would struggle to choose. I think if I went to the track more I would pick the Mercedes. However if it was mainly Canyons and such the STO would be my choice.

[@sonicskills123]

@@8draco8 to say that every gas station has gas can for sale is simply not true. The whole point of this is that it’s small and convenient, something you’ll forget about in your car and use in emergencies.

On these production, high power cars, I wonder how much power actually make it to the ground, through the traction control etc. So many times, we see Mat blow the tires off through 3rd w/traction/whatever control off, when you turn the computers back on, at what point/speed do the computers say "yeah, you can have all the power now."

What is the price of a custom Lamborghini Huracan STO?

[@viperq]

The only thing I don't like about the STO are the decals other wise an awesome car.

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

What other Homologated cars are there these days??

[@fullsendsimracing]

It's still technically not a homologation car even if the name suggests it.

[@JMartinni]

What do you mean exactly? Road homologation describes the process for certifying a car as road-legal in a specific country/region. Homologation for race cars is the same for those within a specific set of regulations which racing series use. Homologation basis describes the road-going vehicle a GT or touring race car is built from and needs to share certain parts with - those aren't always publicly known but examples would be the 911 GT3 or RS for the GT3 R or RSR, or the general Huracan for the Huracan GT3. In case of this STO the name is really more of a marketing exercise suggesting "bringing the race car to the street" when really it is a special model of the road car trimmed for the track and neither served as the basis for the existing Super Trofeo race car (though it might be for the upcoming 2022 version), nor has that much in common with the race car other than the basic chassis and some body panels. As much as this may feel like a race car for regular people, suspension, brakes, engine management, fuel system, exhaust, aero, interior are all different (and have to be, since most motorsport parts are not tested for and certified for road use).

[@fullsendsimracing]

@@JMartinni Spot on. The only homologation car on the market right that I can think of is the Toyot Yaris GR. They needed 25000 units sold to use it as a platform for their WRC car, and is well and truly a street-rally car that doesn't share almost anything with the regular version. That's a true homologation car, this is just an Italian marketing stunt, which obviously worked as they are sold out before official announcmennt.
