“The debut of the Huracan STO in the world of Rocket League is a further step in the digital strategy of Lamborghini, which entered eSports in 2020 with its own one-make championship”, said Lambo’s chief, Stephan Winkelmann. “Gaming and simulation are phenomena of particular interest to the automotive industry, important for engaging the new generations and making our cars even more popular with young people.”
Comprising of a five-match series set for April 23-25, the ‘Battle of the Bulls’ will be streamed live on social media. The best gamers will compete against each other in a series of matches, in an event created for Lamborghini, and the winners will receive a $5,000 prize each.
One of the most potent track-focused supercars out there, the Huracan STO is essentially a Super Trofeo racer for the road, with improved downforce, stiffer suspension, faster gear changes and enhanced engine sound. It has a 631 HP and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10, rear-wheel drive and weighs 95 lbs (43 kg) less than the Performante. As a result, it can hit 62 mph (100 k/h) in 3.0 seconds from a standstill, and will keep going up to 192 mph (310 km/h).
