More off-road Lamborghinis could be in the pipeline if the Italian brand’s CEO has his way, building on the wild limited-edition Huracán Sterrato that launched in 2023.
Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann said there was more potential for the Italian brand – which posted record global sales for the fifth year in a row in 2025 – to offer such models.
“I firmly believe that the Sterrato is a car that only we can make with our heritage, with our idea of being unexpected but remaining authentic,” said Mr. Winkelmann Daily Sparkz.
The Sterrato (which means “dirt road” in Italian) took the Huracán supercar and added Bridgestone all-terrain tires and 162mm of ground clearance – an increase of 44mm – with wider tracks and longer suspension travel.

Although it featured off-road body extensions such as wheel arch extensions, it still featured a 449kW/560Nm version of the 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine with all-wheel drive and 0-100km/h acceleration in 3.4 seconds.
There was only one real competitor, the 2023-2024 Porsche 911 Dakar, which followed a similar theme, including off-road suspension, increased ground clearance and a more rugged look. According to rumors, Porsche is working on a successor with a hybrid drive.
Upon request from Daily Sparkz The Lamborghini boss left it open whether further Sterrato-like models were being planned.
“It always depends on whether we have the resources to do it. But let’s say the main focus is open, is on a closed version, an open version and more power – that’s the idea, the classic idea,” he said.
“The success of Sterrato was worldwide and for me it was one of the things I always wanted to do, even more than a decade ago.
“Finally, at the end of the life cycle (of the Huracan), we did it, and it was something that was very exciting and very successful, so let’s see… It’s not in the plans today, but never say never.”
The Huracán Sterrato was introduced as the model neared the end of its life cycle, with the Temerario taking its place in the model range and using a twin-turbo hybrid V8 powertrain.
It wasn’t the brand’s first step into the off-road sector: the 1986-1993 LM002 off-road vehicle – originally developed as a military vehicle – ran on a 5.2-liter V12 engine from its Countach sports car.
The next Lamborghini SUV was the Urus, which was first produced in 2017 and shares its base with the Bentley Bentayga, Audi Q7/Q8 and Porsche Cayenne SUVs.
Lamborghini will add a fourth model in 2029 – in addition to the Urus, Temerario and flagship Revuelto – with the two-plus-two sports car based on the Lanzador concept.
The concept called for a higher-sitting electric coupe, but the production model will be a plug-in hybrid.
