UPDATE: First teaser released
Lamborghini has released its first official teaser for the Huracan Sterrato, letting the upcoming rally-inspired supercar loose on a gravel course.
The video, dubbed ‘Beyond the Concrete’, shows what could be a camouflaged but production-ready version of the Sterrato, bearing plenty of exterior changes from the test mule spied earlier this year.
The teaser car notably wears a roof scoop, a set of black plastic flares and sideskirts more in line with the 2019 concept, and the LED light bar has similarly been swapped out for a set of pods.
Interestingly, the front bash plate that appeared on the black test car has seemingly been deleted.
No new technical details come with the teaser, though the Sterrato is still tipped to see a full unveil by the year’s end.

- Prototype is less aggressive than previous concept
- Production could be limited to 500 units
February 2022: You don't often see a Raging Bull in the snow, but Lamborghini has changed that, with its off-road focused Huracan Sterrato spied testing in Europe.
Based on the concept car, which launched in 2019, the pre-production Sterrato is less aggressive than the original prototype, scaling down its flared wheel arches – but retaining the jacked-up ride height.
Rather than the twin LED light bars on the front bumper previously seen, the winter shots show off a single light bar mounted to the bonnet, although it seems to just be a temporary fix to the problem.
Pairing the sharp, angular front valance is a large skid plate, taking up more of the grille space than the one fitted to the original concept – perfect for bashing snow or sand out of the way without damaging the expensive composite materials.
While we've seen practical Lamborghinis towing a trailer, the Sterrato's roof racks seem like the perfect addition for anyone who wants more storage space, with the manufacturer undoubtedly dreaming up how much it could charge for a roof pod.
Under the skin, it's expected not many changes will be made to the dependable 5.2-litre V10 engine or the Huracan's all-wheel drive system, although just where Lamborghini could fit a selector for its off-road modes remains to be seen.
Anticipated to be a limited-run model, initial expectations were for between 500 and 1000 units to be built at roughly €240,000 (AU$385,000) each, meaning any examples bound for Australia would be unlikely to squeeze in under the $500,000 asking price of a Huracan Evo.
