Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato Vs Porsche 911 Dakar | Top Gear

  • Both the Porsche 911 Dakar and Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato have been specially modified for off-road use, with off-road tires, suspension lifts, and protective underbellies. They are, literally, awesome.
    Obviously, it’s not without a certain amount of trepidation - the Porsche costs £173k without options, the Lamborghini just under £233k - so even the inevitable stone chips are expensive. But who cares when both cars redefine the concept of real-world supercars, delivering a level of enjoyment that is different from their high-performance counterparts.
    The question is, which one is more fun? Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford has the worst job of finding out.

    I wouldn't ever consider buying either of these cars (if I actually could) without actually taking them on wicked backroads or off-roading. To me, the Porsche better delivers on the intended rallycross purpose almost flawlessly, while the Lambo is more of a tounge-in-cheek nod to rallycross with a devilish wink. German vs. Italian ideology. Nice to have the options. Loved the review!

      I feel like it's perfect for a good earning dude, who lives in Scandinavia or South-Germany, Austria, Wisconsin or something like that and loves to drive sportscars but also wants to visit his favourite ski slopes every weekend. For the Jon Olssons of the world. Otherwise those cars make no real sense. A Mercedes-AMG G63 or F-150 Raptor got way better offroad abilities, more space and general usability and for the Autobahn or general highways a 911 GT3 RS / 911 Turbo S or standard Huracán are the way better tools. So yeah... really two extreme niche products. But I would also prefer the 911 Dakar... it's simply the better offroader and the more reliable car.

      Probably not, but I've seen 911 Dakar do some serious off roading, so as much as I doubt It's as good, It could probably keep up in some terrains. While Sterrato isn't as good as Dakar because It seems too low, I would argue the 911 is more capable on some serious off roading, while Huracan is more of a rally car for the streer.

    Got to be the Lambo. It’s the most outrageously paradoxical fusion of engine, brand and appearance there is. To me, that’s what this latest all-road super car phenomena is all about, so the sterrato pips it.
    Rather ironically, given how these cars are so silly, I feel as though these are a return to cars better suited to driver enjoyment.
