Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato unveiled as a sand-conquering sportscar

After teasing for some time, Automobili Lamborghini has finally unveiled the Huracan Sterrato at the Art Basel, Miami Beach. It can be considered as a rally version of the Huracan. For this, the manufacturer had to make several changes to the standard Huracan. The Sterrato version was first showcased in concept form back in June 2019.
