The Lamborghini Huracan STO is the hardcore driver's Huracan. This is the leanest and meanest Huracan yet but unlike most Huracan variants the STO sends power to the rear wheels. This is partially where the weight loss comes from.

How much does it weigh? 3351 pounds. Not bad although maybe not quite as much weight shaved as we hoped. An all wheel drive LP610-4 is roughly 100 pounds heavier.

Despite this being a rear wheel drive car 0-60 comes in a fantastic 2.6 seconds. The 1/4 mile takes 10.5 seconds at 136 miles per hour. That sounds fast but for whatever reason magazine numbers for Huracan tend to be faster than their real world results.

Perhaps Lamborghini did squeeze quite a bit out of the 5.2 V10 which is now rated at 631 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque.

The numbers are what they are but the STO is about driving pleasure. If you want straightline speed and power out of your Huracan there are better and cheaper options for that.

This is a special version for those who want a special driving experience. The carbon fiber bodywork, aerodynamics, reduced sound deadening, etc., combine for the ultimate Huracan experience.
