Usually, the answer to a question no one asked is a bad thing. But every now and then, it leads to something wonderful, like the
Sterrato
you see above. It’s
take on a rally version of the
, and it’s something we weren’t asking for but now desperately want.
The Sterrato (translation: “dirt”) is mostly a stock
underneath, but that’s not bad with a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 making
horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. It also retains its all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and torque vectoring, but they’ve all been retuned for dirt and loose surfaces. To get around on rougher surfaces, Lamborghini raised the car by 1.85 inches, which the company says improves the approach angle by 1% and the departure angle by 6.5%.
The Sterrato’s exterior receives huge fender flares that allow for a one-inch wider track front and rear. It wears 20-inch wheels with chunky off-road tires. Aluminum skid plates have been added to the front and rear, and the rear plate doubles as a diffuser. The rocker panels also get aluminum plates for extra protection. Mud guards are fitted, too, as are little deflectors ahead of the intakes to keep rocks from flying in and doing damage. Finally, like any good rally car, it gets huge auxiliary lights with a pair of hexagonal units on the front, and a wide bar on the roof.
Inside the Sterrato are a pair of carbon fiber bucket seats plus four-point racing harnesses. But the real showpiece is a full titanium roll cage.
Lamborghini didn’t say anything about putting the Sterrato into production. But this concept isn’t particularly out there, especially compared with
some of Lamborghini’s concepts
, so we suspect if the car gets a good enough reaction, Lamborghini might consider production. And if it doesn’t, we’re sure there are some
companies that would be happy to help wealthy car enthusiasts re-create the car.
