Honestly this just makes a supercar more comfortable and practical - tires with larger sidewalls, smoother suspension, more ground clearance so you don't scrape, and more durable body panels. I see no downside.
Agreed. I think if I had the money for this kind of thing, I'd rather this than the Urus. I'm not buying it for practicality, I'm buying it for fun, but a bit more comfort would be welcome. Alas, I will never actually be in the market...
What advantages do larger sidewalls, smoother suspension, more ground clearance and more durable body panels give to cars that sit in a garage for their whole lives?
@@pistonburner6448uh I mean, it's a supercar - I see those driven ALOT on the street. Even Aventadors get driven alot - it's not a Sian or somethibg like that. Especially cars like the huracan are considered "cheap" in the supercar world. Which is why most people buy them. They are the 'affordable' cars that are not limited production runs, just to be bought for value. The Gallardo is still around 50% under it's initial value - the Huracan follows that trend, like it's brother the R8.

Imagine walking through the desert, just to randomly meet Doug and a Huracan Sterrato. That's like finding a legendary Pokemon ... "a wild Doug appeared."
The best part of this video was Doug saying the joy of driving this car felt the same as the joy of seeing his sons reaction to blowing bubbles. So cute.
As someone from Eastern Europe I think this is the only way you could comfortably drive a supercar here. There are places with more holes than roads here.
This is a hypercar I would be able to drive in Mexico. I wouldn’t have to worry about potholes so much, speed bumps, uneven pavement, rock streets, etc. I love it, it’s a hypercar that you could daily
If I had the money to buy a Lambo, this is the one. And I don't even want to go off road, this thing is just cool as hell. Paint it all black and it's like Batman meets Mad Max.
I like that (at least by the looks of it) the skid plate and fender flares are plastic and not carbon fiber. Makes it seem like it was actually made to be driven in dirt
I actually think it really cheapens it. Understand using a different, more durable material, but seems like it could be made to look classier - although Lambo is not really in the business of classy. 😂
Greatly presented and impossibly available (limited production) to buy. As soon as I heard about this 6 months back I wanted to make a deposit which Lamborghini was willing to receive. The problem is that deposit would not earmark a specific vehicle so as to not guarantee any advantageous purpose for it (no securing of a vehicle or locking in a price). I proposed to the dealer that the deposit would be non-refundable (instead of being refundable as they were so proud to state) as long as I knew that it would secure an allocation with a price limit (even if above what I was told... I was willing to accept that , but a limit nonetheless ). That proposal was rejected and it was only then that the dealer admitted that they have a history of returning 'dreamer only' deposits because there were no cars to sell after all that wait which only benefited the dealer with improved cash flow . I wish that dealers would be more candid and say, like Porsche who says , 'We have NO bananas today', so buyers could move on (with their money at least). Ferrari is also guilty. In 2022, I actually put a $10,000.00 deposit with them for a 296 GTB Coupe. And for that money, I immediately had a meeting to indicate what options I wanted. Turned out that at that meeting, Ferrari was only 'showboating'. It is now May 17, 2023 , and there is not even an allocation available for me in 2026, which, even if I were to get one then would be that many more model years expensive. And they are telling me that is a big 'if'. So the day before yesterday, I asked for my money back. I think that the opportunity is now for car review you tubers to only deal with cars that are available to purchase, period. All these exotic car reviews turn real buyers off who would not subscribe to more car reviews that they cannot buy. But I guess there is more of a dreamer following to keep such you tubers afloat.
As someone who will likely never be able to afford such luxuries as this supercar or others, your insight into the trade was very interesting. I'm sorry to hear that it's so difficult to secure even a production car like a 296GTB despite having the financial means to do so. Based on what you said, I don't think the problem is something that UA-camrs can/will solve because just like the manufacturers, they rely on massive quantities of views to earn their livings, so restricting the quantity and type of cars they review to more attainable ones would be shooting themselves in the foot. The only thing that I think could solve this issue would be legislation, but since this is a very niche issue affecting a small number of people that are clearly already very fortunate in life overall, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything anytime soon from a government that can't even come together to solve dire issues that affect millions of people living around or below the poverty line. Sounds like you're just barely able to comfortably afford these types of cars, but the way you describe things working you need to be even wealthier, so wealthy that the absence of tens of thousands of dollars for multiple years is barely noticeable to you, and the eventual price (assuming an allocation is secured) must be irrelevant as it may fluctuate by over $100k. Sounds like the best thing for you to do would be to find used examples of what you want or just settle for something similar, but a bit older. Seems like much less of a hassle.
@@bwofficial1776 I'd assume it's because the Steratto is a special model. And they're probably making sure that you can not only afford it, but afford its maintenance, not to mention actually using it
@@notlNSIGHTafford it? I don't think you are getting one soon. Keep in mind that Ferrari is booming in sales now, so even normal production cars are being backed up. Ferrari was not made to operate like Toyota, so of course they can't produce enough in time. Sure it's quite a pity the waiting is so long, and I would hate it too, but if you think about they can't do much. Even if they build a new factory, that's a lot of money for only now, assuming that sales will drop off in the future, and factories don't grow like bamboos.
wow. you always bring the coolest cars. thanks Doug! i'm a huge fan of yours! wish i could come see your car collection in person - would be amazing, i imagine.
As long as you don't directly put something that is blocking the intake, then it should be fine. Just leave some space between the intake and the cargo.
Even if it is blocked air will still get through some spots and through other intakes on the car. Besides this is a super car it’s not best suited for carrying luggage it just can because it’s a lambo and that brand makes sure their cars can do anything
I love this thing. It's ridiculous that it exists at all. Lambo seems to have taken a hint from Subaru and built out a car based on function and not just looks. It's definitely not a beauty with all those warts, but knowing that every one of those warts is functional, it brings this monster a different kind of attractiveness that it deserves.
This is pretty bad to watch if you just woke up. Thought i was still in a dream state. This looks absolutely insane, It'd be so cool to see one used at the WRC.
I’d probably enjoy driving this around the city more than the super-car version, frankly. Offroad smhoffroad, it just seems more practical for using as an actual car.
He says that you can just stick your finger in the hole to start this car instead of the ¨laborious¨ process of lifting the red protector. I just love his sarcasm when describing what he considers ridiculous functions. He does that on all his videos.
I love this channel so much as a car enthusiast whenever i hear of cool new cars i immediately get excited for the reviews to come. I know I’m probably speaking for a lot of people when i say top gear was always the review i looked forward to the most but in recent years with the show being awful it’s dough i think of when i see those cool new car articles. Never stop doing what you’re doing man truly one of the best
No offense to Lamborghini, but this thing is definitely not going to be used for offroad outside of social media. Even then it will stay mostly on trails.
@@jwalster9412 ooh, I would have to disagree. Let’s be honest the guy that’s gonna buy this has more money than he knows what to do with. He won’t be out anything if he takes it down some logging trails. God knows if I had the money I definitely would. And honestly, I would probably make more money with the contant of using the car for what it’s built for.
I guess this is as close as Doug will get to review a Lancia Stratos. I see this thing as a spiritual successor to that (bar the New Stratos thing based on Ferrari 430 Scuderias). I just wish it was a bit better looking... those panels over the wheel arches are definitely not my definition of "cool". And the roof racks are just stupid, you won't be able drive fast with anything on them because the load will either will fly off, or stay put and obstruct the air flow to the intake. Looking forward to the Nissan Skyline R34 in Midnight Purple! The best color for that car.
Thank you Doug for all the excellent content of beautiful automobiles! This is one of my favorite cars ever made. It's different and I like the height it has. This is the car I would buy! Thanks again for all of your videos!!! Take care!! From one of your favorite fans!!
Crazy car! Never thought of an off-roady supercar come into existence and yet Lambo did it. Hope to see something like this in other exotic cars as well.
I'd love to see a face to face against a raptor, or a TRX lol. Those are really powerful machines but tbf they're also heavy, maybe the Sterrato could win if the conditions are favorable to it , say, a gravel drag race or sth like that lol
Lamborghini is really shooting themselves in the foot here by making this a limited run. They could sell like 10k to 20k of them easily, and having that many on the road will ensure that they'll actually be driven hard once in awhile!
The Huracan is ending production soon, so an extra 10-20k (units) worth of parts from suppliers would've been pointless. The reason why manufacturers bring out special versions of cars is because they have leftover shells and parts (both in the factory and from suppliers) to put cars together. So to make an extra bit of cash, they announce one or two limited run models to essentially get rid of the remaining shells. The Golf GTI Clubsport or 911 GT2 RS are excellent examples. If anything, once the Sterratos are gone, the replacement will be imminent.
@@gcscr The usual "baby Lambo" is their sales leader, and I believe they sell maybe around 10K of them on average throughout their lifetime (I'm guessing, though, so I'm probably wrong). A more comfortable baby Lambo that can go on grass and drift about once in awhile without scraping would prove to be wildly popular, and more people would be willing to buy one of these because it can be argued to be more useful, hence the inflated number. Also hyperbole
6:34 He said Roof so aggressive it sounded like a bark 😂 I have loved watching his videos for years. I’m in car sales and I do a lot of video walk arounds but your videos have definitely influenced some of my work
This thing is wild! The reason you like the wheel arches on the Sterrato is the same reason I like them on the new WRX. They suit the car IMO, the body colored versions people are painting are very bland looking. I say kudos to both for doing something different.
The only thing I might change is the off-road lights on the front bumper. I think they’d look better on the front bonnet towards the bottom. Which would make it not much higher than they already are, but It would make a difference in my opinion.
When Doug said that the Huracan is 10 years old, it sent me into shock. Two things to note here: one, I can't believe it's been that long since the Gallardo, and two, the amount of competition (and tech) to come out since then.
And with all that tech (and money coming in from the Urus), I definitely won't be seeing Lamborghini minor facelifting the same car for the next decade. Or they'll stick to their heritage since the Countach.
I honesty love this car because where Im from there are roads that are still a dirt road and this car can clearly go over those roads without any problem what so ever
Why is that sad? This is not an off road car. This is a sports car with fat tires and would be terrible to actually take off road. This is a marketing ploy only
Very cool! Sadly, out of 1,499 builds, about 1,486 will spend their entire life in a garage on a trickle charger... One will burn to the ground, which Tavarish will buy "cheap" and rebuild, one will get flooded out in a Gulf flood for Ed Bolian to buy, and one will be driven to 30,000 miles with no oil changes which Hoovie will buy as the Cheapest Lamborghini Sterrato in the US. Car Trek season 37 is going to be weird.
Honestly this just makes a supercar more comfortable and practical - tires with larger sidewalls, smoother suspension, more ground clearance so you don't scrape, and more durable body panels. I see no downside.

Very true lol, loved my offroad Ferrari in FH4 :D
Do you know if the Sterrato will be available in FH5?
@@Incrazyboyy Me too, my favourite was my dune buggy in 4. The chatter and speculation on Reddit and the videos here seem to be people building their own and hope that it comes for the "Rally" DLC
Incredible engineering. Doug looks like a kid in a candy store with this (in the best way possible)
What's incredible about it ?
Kinda strange the roof only holds 70 lbs, hope the car doesn't flip on the roof when flying around the desert😅
🤣
I'm actually impressed that Doug was able to say "STERRATO" with the same nerd dad zest and zeal every. single. time.
The lucid air sapphire edition video was really something in that regard lmao
Finally! A lamborghini that you can drive on the Brazilian roads, those look more like swiss cheese than asphalt, with potholes the size of moon craters.
I'm so glad they actually made the Sterrato concept an actual production model. Now here's hoping the other brands make their own rally editions.
Porsche has the 911 Dakar coming!
If I hit that billion dollar lottery the other day, I would probably daily drive something like this lol. It’s like the super car that you can actually use everywhere for the most part that you would use in the other normal car.
sounds like a supercar that you can drive like a normal car~ over speed bumps, high angle parking garage ramps etc.... I LOVE it!!!
so... why not just get a M5 CS or a GTS63 4-door or even AMG GT, Audi R8, Supra, 812 Superfast...?
They are even more practical, look less tacky, and cheaper (except a few)
@Grounded because it's a fucking lambo lol. Plus you can take it to places where you wouldn't take any of the cars you listed outside the Mercs.
@@TheDarkPacific lol so you know you are just badge-buying... then I think it's quite dum that you eliminate all others for that.
And what about this "light offroader" that can also go where ONLY THE MERCS? Can? What's so special about the mercedes?
@@groundedgaming Bro name another modern V10. Plus since VW bought lambo they're actually worth having outside the badge. lol and I mentioned the Mercs because they're not special.
Best Lambo ever made - Doug‘s excitement is really funny 😂
Those fender flares put me in the mind of what Liberty Walk does with its modifications.
I love the fact that as an off-roader, it has matte paint.
Most people will get it ppf’d anyway
Quick touch up with bed liner paint will do
I never understood the appeal of matte paint. It takes an expensive car and makes it look like an old spraypainted Civic bought off Craigslist for $500 and a bag of weed.
@@bwofficial1776 the Appeal is it looks good on certain cars.
@@LamoidZombieDog Thats subjective though, further evidenced by the fact that the other guy in this thread doesn't like it lol. Im inclined to agree with him too. Satin looks good tho.
This has been one of my dream platforms for years. Hopefully there will be more mid engine off-road super cars.
Forgot about the 959?
No way. Never forget that thing
@@pinut187 forget the Aixam Mega Track!??
I'd like to see what it looks like with body matched fender flares. The black doesn't look horrible, in fact it helps with the modified, off-road look. Just curious how much cleaner it would look with painted fenders.
Imagine walking through the desert, just to randomly meet Doug and a Huracan Sterrato. That's like finding a legendary Pokemon ... "a wild Doug appeared."
Dude I'm loving that analogy
@@bricegraham8256 yep. Analogy matters.
The best part of this video was Doug saying the joy of driving this car felt the same as the joy of seeing his sons reaction to blowing bubbles. So cute.
Wider track, raised ride height and off road tires. This thing is ready to battle Michigan roads!
Only Doug can make 1 3/4” sound like a lot, but at the bar 😂
As someone from Eastern Europe I think this is the only way you could comfortably drive a supercar here. There are places with more holes than roads here.
It ain't any better in the US, most of the taxes go to the military...
I live in switzerland, we also have roads that are fked beyond hope
@@janzbedny5241 dude US roads suck but we dont have it anywhere near as bad as euro roads
@ghuldorgrey i hope you are joking
@ghuldorgrey our roads are the best in the world.
This is a hypercar I would be able to drive in Mexico. I wouldn’t have to worry about potholes so much, speed bumps, uneven pavement, rock streets, etc. I love it, it’s a hypercar that you could daily
This is the Lambo I would get. Props to Lambo for being daring and fun enough to make it.
Daring to not make the Urus an off-roader🤔
Daring to borrow an Audi and sell it with a big markup for a bodykit🤥
Bonkers car and video, and Doug is one of few that would manage to sell sand in Sahara, just by his entusiasm!
Wow! Finally a Lamborghini for the Indian roads!!
It’s an ugly vehicle that will fit perfectly on ugly Indian roads 🤣🤣
This is an insane rendition of the stock hurrican!! And that blue is beautiful along with the black accents! Thank you Doug!!:)
Honestly, this was bound to happen at some point. The huracan’s all wheel drive system is a no brainer for off roading and rallying.😊
This thing is so insane!
I couldn't imagine taking a Lamborghini in the sand, but it's got to be a blast....
no
Unless you need to drive off road and get over a 5" rock.
😂😂😂😂
These will be a hit in Saudi Arabia.
If I had the money to buy a Lambo, this is the one. And I don't even want to go off road, this thing is just cool as hell. Paint it all black and it's like Batman meets Mad Max.
I like that (at least by the looks of it) the skid plate and fender flares are plastic and not carbon fiber. Makes it seem like it was actually made to be driven in dirt
I actually think it really cheapens it. Understand using a different, more durable material, but seems like it could be made to look classier - although Lambo is not really in the business of classy. 😂
Greatly presented and impossibly available (limited production) to buy. As soon as I heard about this 6 months back I wanted to make a deposit which Lamborghini was willing to receive. The problem is that deposit would not earmark a specific vehicle so as to not guarantee any advantageous purpose for it (no securing of a vehicle or locking in a price). I proposed to the dealer that the deposit would be non-refundable (instead of being refundable as they were so proud to state) as long as I knew that it would secure an allocation with a price limit (even if above what I was told... I was willing to accept that , but a limit nonetheless ). That proposal was rejected and it was only then that the dealer admitted that they have a history of returning 'dreamer only' deposits because there were no cars to sell after all that wait which only benefited the dealer with improved cash flow . I wish that dealers would be more candid and say, like Porsche who says , 'We have NO bananas today', so buyers could move on (with their money at least). Ferrari is also guilty. In 2022, I actually put a $10,000.00 deposit with them for a 296 GTB Coupe. And for that money, I immediately had a meeting to indicate what options I wanted. Turned out that at that meeting, Ferrari was only 'showboating'. It is now May 17, 2023 , and there is not even an allocation available for me in 2026, which, even if I were to get one then would be that many more model years expensive. And they are telling me that is a big 'if'. So the day before yesterday, I asked for my money back. I think that the opportunity is now for car review you tubers to only deal with cars that are available to purchase, period. All these exotic car reviews turn real buyers off who would not subscribe to more car reviews that they cannot buy. But I guess there is more of a dreamer following to keep such you tubers afloat.
As someone who will likely never be able to afford such luxuries as this supercar or others, your insight into the trade was very interesting. I'm sorry to hear that it's so difficult to secure even a production car like a 296GTB despite having the financial means to do so. Based on what you said, I don't think the problem is something that UA-camrs can/will solve because just like the manufacturers, they rely on massive quantities of views to earn their livings, so restricting the quantity and type of cars they review to more attainable ones would be shooting themselves in the foot. The only thing that I think could solve this issue would be legislation, but since this is a very niche issue affecting a small number of people that are clearly already very fortunate in life overall, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything anytime soon from a government that can't even come together to solve dire issues that affect millions of people living around or below the poverty line. Sounds like you're just barely able to comfortably afford these types of cars, but the way you describe things working you need to be even wealthier, so wealthy that the absence of tens of thousands of dollars for multiple years is barely noticeable to you, and the eventual price (assuming an allocation is secured) must be irrelevant as it may fluctuate by over $100k. Sounds like the best thing for you to do would be to find used examples of what you want or just settle for something similar, but a bit older. Seems like much less of a hassle.
Lamborghini, the company founded on rejecting Ferrari's practices, has turned out just like its rival.
@@bwofficial1776 I'd assume it's because the Steratto is a special model. And they're probably making sure that you can not only afford it, but afford its maintenance, not to mention actually using it
@@notlNSIGHTafford it? I don't think you are getting one soon.
Keep in mind that Ferrari is booming in sales now, so even normal production cars are being backed up. Ferrari was not made to operate like Toyota, so of course they can't produce enough in time. Sure it's quite a pity the waiting is so long, and I would hate it too, but if you think about they can't do much. Even if they build a new factory, that's a lot of money for only now, assuming that sales will drop off in the future, and factories don't grow like bamboos.
Ferrari: we will sue you sit in that car!!
Lambo: haha rally super go brrr
wow. you always bring the coolest cars. thanks Doug! i'm a huge fan of yours! wish i could come see your car collection in person - would be amazing, i imagine.
Since the air intake is now on the roof, if you store stuff up there using the rails (up to 70 lbs) won't you block the air scoop while driving?
As long as you don't directly put something that is blocking the intake, then it should be fine. Just leave some space between the intake and the cargo.
@@shanelulberryso basically nothig but a shovel and small gas tanks.
@@groundedgaming I have never seen a Sterrato in person. So, from what I can guess, it probably just depends on how you rig it.
Even if it is blocked air will still get through some spots and through other intakes on the car. Besides this is a super car it’s not best suited for carrying luggage it just can because it’s a lambo and that brand makes sure their cars can do anything
It would be cool if Lamborghini brought back the 001 truck ( I think?) with modern touches.
Damm, time fly by. Cant believe mini Doug is already 2 year old!
I love this thing. It's ridiculous that it exists at all. Lambo seems to have taken a hint from Subaru and built out a car based on function and not just looks. It's definitely not a beauty with all those warts, but knowing that every one of those warts is functional, it brings this monster a different kind of attractiveness that it deserves.
So you're saying Lesbians in Oregon are going to buy these in droves?
@@pistonburner6448 That's who it is marketed to, so I think it's a safe bet.
Doug, the kind of guy I’ll retain to help me build my arsenal of inviable automobiles soon. ❤
This looks like a car I would make in Forza 😂
This is pretty bad to watch if you just woke up. Thought i was still in a dream state. This looks absolutely insane, It'd be so cool to see one used at the WRC.
I’d probably enjoy driving this around the city more than the super-car version, frankly. Offroad smhoffroad, it just seems more practical for using as an actual car.
It would be great for everyday driving on regular roads.. More automakers should see this as a practical super-car.. ✌
these are going to look crazy in mall parking lots
"Daily driver" 😌🤔
such a unique car. I'd love to know how quickly they sell the 1,499. That's ~$450mm in revenue on such a limited release haha
Even Spencer watching Doug lol really cool
This is definitely the super car I'd own, more than the offroad capabilities, It is perfect to ride in my 3th world country streets.
What are you doing in your 3rd world country streets in a supercar?
That design is insane. I love it
He says that you can just stick your finger in the hole to start this car instead of the ¨laborious¨ process of lifting the red protector. I just love his sarcasm when describing what he considers ridiculous functions. He does that on all his videos.
This car is everything we never needed but have always wanted!
wow... not original AND not even a little funny. You nailed it Arthur
Yes. You are correct 😂
@@slowery43 wow how does it feel to be a lame 😒
I love this channel so much as a car enthusiast whenever i hear of cool new cars i immediately get excited for the reviews to come. I know I’m probably speaking for a lot of people when i say top gear was always the review i looked forward to the most but in recent years with the show being awful it’s dough i think of when i see those cool new car articles. Never stop doing what you’re doing man truly one of the best
Doug*
Forget the desert, finally a Lambo for New England winters! Lets go!
Expensive car with expensive parts + off-road, what a great combination :D!
Dude the people who buy this do not earn 40k a year or whatever
@@piuthemagicman Yeah, they steal at least 70k a year...
@@piuthemagicman I know
when you dont want a urus, but your city has alot of speedbumps
They should’ve made the urus an off-roader to be honest
“Nobody would drive a Lamborghini with off road capability.”
*Doug De Muro enters the chat*
No offense to Lamborghini, but this thing is definitely not going to be used for offroad outside of social media. Even then it will stay mostly on trails.
@@jwalster9412 ooh, I would have to disagree. Let’s be honest the guy that’s gonna buy this has more money than he knows what to do with. He won’t be out anything if he takes it down some logging trails. God knows if I had the money I definitely would. And honestly, I would probably make more money with the contant of using the car for what it’s built for.
@@jo_nathan_nation6544 alot of limited production car ago to private collectors who wash them once a week and let them rot.
Nice to see Lambo come out with something unusual, love it Doug. 😎👌👍
Richard Clarkson always said that lambos were made for "yabos" and this lambo leans into that hard lmao
I’ll still choose the 911 Dakar!
Dakar looks way cooler and is probably better off road
I guess this is as close as Doug will get to review a Lancia Stratos. I see this thing as a spiritual successor to that (bar the New Stratos thing based on Ferrari 430 Scuderias). I just wish it was a bit better looking... those panels over the wheel arches are definitely not my definition of "cool". And the roof racks are just stupid, you won't be able drive fast with anything on them because the load will either will fly off, or stay put and obstruct the air flow to the intake. Looking forward to the Nissan Skyline R34 in Midnight Purple! The best color for that car.
No One:
Doug: Sterrrrrrrrato
Imagine being the Lamborghini test engineer tasked with tooling around in the desert in a Huracan to see how it could be improved
Thank you Doug for all the excellent content of beautiful automobiles! This is one of my favorite cars ever made. It's different and I like the height it has. This is the car I would buy! Thanks again for all of your videos!!! Take care!! From one of your favorite fans!!
That every teaser, during C&B section, of every car to be reviewed in upcoming videos is really nice!
Cant wait to see that Legal R34!
Crazy car! Never thought of an off-roady supercar come into existence and yet Lambo did it. Hope to see something like this in other exotic cars as well.
porsche 911 dakar
Rip Group B, it was the most badass thing ever
the Porsche 959 certainly counts as well@@SethTaylor1
Should have bumped the precticality up because of the roof rails:)
Dude filming all these bad ass cars and looking like he just rolled out from under a rock 😅
I'd love to see a face to face against a raptor, or a TRX lol. Those are really powerful machines but tbf they're also heavy, maybe the Sterrato could win if the conditions are favorable to it , say, a gravel drag race or sth like that lol
Lamborghini is really shooting themselves in the foot here by making this a limited run. They could sell like 10k to 20k of them easily, and having that many on the road will ensure that they'll actually be driven hard once in awhile!
Fr, so stupid when companies sell it on “the best drivers car” and then make a limited run it just guarantees that thing will only sit in garages.
10k to 20k? Oh, Really? How did you get that number?
The Huracan is ending production soon, so an extra 10-20k (units) worth of parts from suppliers would've been pointless.
The reason why manufacturers bring out special versions of cars is because they have leftover shells and parts (both in the factory and from suppliers) to put cars together. So to make an extra bit of cash, they announce one or two limited run models to essentially get rid of the remaining shells. The Golf GTI Clubsport or 911 GT2 RS are excellent examples. If anything, once the Sterratos are gone, the replacement will be imminent.
@@gcscr The usual "baby Lambo" is their sales leader, and I believe they sell maybe around 10K of them on average throughout their lifetime (I'm guessing, though, so I'm probably wrong). A more comfortable baby Lambo that can go on grass and drift about once in awhile without scraping would prove to be wildly popular, and more people would be willing to buy one of these because it can be argued to be more useful, hence the inflated number. Also hyperbole
@muke001 that's incorrect, Lamborghini made just over 9k cars last year, and about 2/3 are the Urus.
6:34 He said Roof so aggressive it sounded like a bark 😂 I have loved watching his videos for years. I’m in car sales and I do a lot of video walk arounds but your videos have definitely influenced some of my work
This thing is wild! The reason you like the wheel arches on the Sterrato is the same reason I like them on the new WRX. They suit the car IMO, the body colored versions people are painting are very bland looking. I say kudos to both for doing something different.
Very nice! But, can it run over a Gypsy without damage?
No, but it can be parked in a climate control garage without scratches on ramps.
That’s gotta be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
doug never failes to amaze me about the smallest details gotta love this guy
You never faile to amaze us with your spelling
Just looks like a super car that can almost be used as a daily driver.
You buy a Ferrari when you want to be somebody, you buy a Lamborghini when you are somebody... This Is why I Love Lamborghini.
The only thing I might change is the off-road lights on the front bumper. I think they’d look better on the front bonnet towards the bottom. Which would make it not much higher than they already are, but It would make a difference in my opinion.
When Doug said that the Huracan is 10 years old, it sent me into shock. Two things to note here: one, I can't believe it's been that long since the Gallardo, and two, the amount of competition (and tech) to come out since then.
And with all that tech (and money coming in from the Urus), I definitely won't be seeing Lamborghini minor facelifting the same car for the next decade.
Or they'll stick to their heritage since the Countach.
I honesty love this car because where Im from there are roads that are still a dirt road and this car can clearly go over those roads without any problem what so ever
99% of these won't see even a smidge of dirt. Sadly.
Why is that sad? This is not an off road car. This is a sports car with fat tires and would be terrible to actually take off road. This is a marketing ploy only
Did you forget crazy rich Arabs exist?
@@prasad530 Exactly
Very cool! Sadly, out of 1,499 builds, about 1,486 will spend their entire life in a garage on a trickle charger... One will burn to the ground, which Tavarish will buy "cheap" and rebuild, one will get flooded out in a Gulf flood for Ed Bolian to buy, and one will be driven to 30,000 miles with no oil changes which Hoovie will buy as the Cheapest Lamborghini Sterrato in the US. Car Trek season 37 is going to be weird.
Thisssssssss is the new Lamborghini Sterrato 🐍
For the roof rails they shouldve added a roll cage to the inside of the car, this would help with the weight it would be able to carry.
