A few days after unveiling the one-off Huracan Sterrato Opera Unica, Lamborghini published another video focusing on the bespoke “triple-layer crystal-effect” shade of the crossover supercar against the beautiful scenery of Sardinia.
The Sant’Agata carmaker asked James Fox, Director of Studies in History of Art at Emanuel College of Cambridge, to analyze the vibrant hue of the Opera Unica while taking it for a spin on and off the beaten track at Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda region.
The 41-year-old art historian, known for presenting 12 documentaries on art and culture for the BBC and CNN, is a big fan of this specification. He admitted he was “astonished” when he first laid eyes on the one-off special which he describes as “artwork”.

In the short film, Fox argues that no other shade is more mysterious than Blue, a color that is all around us in the sky and in the depths of the sea but always out of reach.
The paint was developed by Lamborghini‘s Ad Personam department and took over 370 hours to apply. The exterior combines three shades of Blue – the Blu Amnis, Blue Grifo, and Blu Fedra – with a frozen crystal-like finish. For the interior, the dark Blue Delphinus was chosen as the main shade, contrasting the lighter Celeste Phoebe in the accents on the leather and Alcantara upholstery.
Besides the fancy livery, the Opera Unica has no mechanical changes compared to the rest of the 1,499 units of the Huracan Sterrato. The all-terrain supercar with the lifted suspension and the rugged bodykit is still powered by the 5.2-liter V10 with 602 hp (449 kW / 610 PS) and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque, combined with an all-wheel-drive system.
Note that all of the remaining units of the Huracan have been sold out until the forthcoming end of production later this year. This means that whoever is interested in a new baby Lambo has to wait for the Huracan’s plug-in hybrid successor which is expected to debut before the end of 2024.
