Did you really think Lamborghini would call it a day with the Huracan Evo and turn its attention to the supercar’s eventual successor?
As these two spy images reveal, Lamborghini is developing a hardcore version of the Huracan Evo that looks set to leave even the Performante in the dust. These spy shots have been doing the rounds on social media and show a heavily-camouflaged Huracan prototype out during a round of testing.
While we’re not sure where the images were snapped, it seems apparent the car will essentially be a baby version of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. From the side, we can see that the nose of the V10-powered supercar has been tweaked while a set of new centerlock wheels have been fitted.

The most notable aerodynamic modifications come in the form of a large roof scoop, a shark fin, and a towering rear wing, all very similar in design to what you’ll find on the Huracan Evo Super Trofeo race car. According to Lamborghini owners over at the Piston Heads forum, the Huracan in question will be dubbed the STO, standing for Super Trofeo Omologato. It will allegedly launch as a 2021 model year vehicle.
While one may expect Lamborghini to fettle the 5.2-liter V10 of the Huracan Evo, it apparently won’t, meaning the powertrain will continue to deliver 632 hp. Making up for the lack of any power gains will be a serious dieting program that could see the Huracan STO weigh 330 lbs (150 kg) less than a typical Evo. As it that wasn’t enough to get you excited, it’s claimed the car will be sold exclusively with rear-wheel drive.
Lamborghini allegedly wants to build 700 examples of the Huracan STO but dealers are said to be pushing for a smaller production run to ensure the car’s exclusivity. By comparison, production of the Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale and Squadra Corse was limited to 150 units and 50 units, respectively. The Huracan STO could be the final iteration of the Huracan before it’s retired.
