Lamborghini Huracan STJ is swansong for famed V10
Just ten units of the STJ - or Super Trofeo Jota - will be built
Power comes from the same naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 as the Huracan STO, with 630bhp and 417lb ft
Lamborghini has revealed the ultra-limited Huracán STJ - the firm’s final ever car to be fitted with a V10 engine, and the equal-most powerful Huracán ever built.
Just ten units of the STJ - or Super Trofeo Jota - will be built. It will effectively see out the model's production, which started back in 2014, before being replaced by a new hybrid sports car later this year.
Power comes from the same naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 as the Huracán STO, with 630bhp, 417lb ft, managed by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Despite receiving no increase in power, Lamborghini says the Huracán STJ can round the Nardo test circuit one second faster than the standard car thanks to some changes beneath (and above) the metal.
A special aerodynamic package adds two new carbon fibre appendages and adjusts the angle of the Huracán’s rear spoiler by three degrees. In all, aerodynamics have been bolstered by around 10%.
A stronger set of ‘racing-derived’, four-way adjustable shock absorbers have been equipped, which allow for increased stiffness and improved handling. The STJ also makes use of a set of Bridgestone Potenza racing tyres.
The sportscar also benefits from a choice of two exclusive, eye-catching exterior designs. One features grey Grigio Telesto exterior paint, matched with a black roof and red and white trim. Inside, it gains black Alcantara seats with red stitching.
The second design, with bright blue Blu Eliadi paintwork, also gets a black roof with red and white trim details. Both are fitted with a commemorative plaque marked 1-10 to reflect the model’s exclusivity.
Lamborghini says the Super Trofeo Jota name represents the “pinnacle” of the Huracan’s performance.
The ‘ST’ part of the moniker comes from the brand’s one-make championship, which was formed in 2009, while ‘Jota’ refers to Appendix J of the FIA regulations, which outlines racing specifications.
Lamborghini hasn’t detailed the pricing of the STJ, we’d expected it to be significantly more expensive than the SVJ that preceded it, which was priced at around £360,000.
