Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the Huracan Super Trofeo Jota (STJ), a limited edition of ten units, marking the end of an era for the iconic V10 super sports car. This model represents the culmination of the Huracán series, which was first introduced in 2014.
The Last Dance of the V10
The Huracán STJ is the last celebration of the super sports car equipped with the V10 engine, an engineering icon of the Sant’Agata Bolognese carmaker. The naturally aspirated V10 engine has been a symbol of Automobili Lamborghini’s history, contributing to the success of the Huracán family. By the end of the year, the Huracán will be replaced by an all-new super sports car equipped with a new hybrid powertrain.
Huracan Super Trofeo Jota: Better than the STO?
The STJ represents the pinnacle of performance achieved in the Huracán family’s history. It is based on the Huracán STO and introduces an exclusive package designed to further enhance the racing spirit of the Huracán STO. Super Trofeo pays tribute to the Lamborghini one-make championship, established in 2009, while Jota refers to Appendix J of the FIA Regulations that sets the racing car specifications.
Like the STO, the Huracán STJ delivers a maximum power output of 640 PS at 8000 rpm and a torque of 565 Nm (at 8000 rpm) controlled by a 7-speed dual clutch (LDF – Lamborghini Doppia Frizione) gearbox, combined with the rear-wheel drive only.
The mechanical grip has been increased significantly by a set of four adjustable racing-derived shock absorbers, which replace the standard active components. The shock absorbers are four-way adjustable to optimize the rebound and compression at both high and low frequencies, giving total freedom of choice in the set-up based on the track characteristics. To maximize the driving dynamics, special Bridgestone Potenza Race tires have been developed, made with a specific high grip compound and installed on 20-inch single-nut rims.
