Lamborghini Huracán STJ — 'The Last Dance'
Celebrating iconic V10 engine
with limited edition of just 10 units
(April 11, 2024) Automobili Lamborghini has presented the Huracán STJ, a limited edition of 10 units and the last celebration of the super sports car equipped with the V10 engine, an engineering icon of the Sant’Agata Bolognese carmaker. The naturally aspirated V10 engine is a symbol of Automobili Lamborghini’s history, contributing to the success of the Huracán family first presented in 2014, which by the end of the year will be replaced by an all-new super sports car equipped with a new hybrid powertrain.
With a design based on the Huracán STO, the STJ represents the pinnacle of performance achieved in the Huracán family’s history, thanks to the introduction of an exclusive package designed to further enhance the racing spirit of the Huracán STO.
STJ stands for Super Trofeo Jota: Super Trofeo pays tribute to the Lamborghini one-make championship, established in 2009, while Jota refers to Appendix J of the FIA Regulations that sets the racing car specifications, and to a long tradition of Lamborghini models developed for the track, starting from the Miura SVJ and continuing with the Aventador SVJ.
The Huracán STJ stands out thanks to its dedicated aerodynamic package developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse technicians, leveraging the know-how acquired over ten years at the top of Gran Turismo competitions. The sophisticated aerodynamics of the STO have been further improved with the addition of the iconic “cofango” — two all-new carbon fiber aerodynamic appendages (flicks), while the angle of the rear wing has been increased by 3° compared with the production model to ensure a 10% increase in aerodynamic load while keeping the car perfectly balanced.
Like the STO, the Huracán STJ delivers a maximum power output of 640 CV (631 horsepower) at 8,000 rpm and a torque of 565 Nm (416 pounds-feet) at 8,000 rpm controlled by a 7-speed dual clutch (LDF - Lamborghini Doppia Frizione) gearbox, combined with the rear-wheel drive only.
The mechanical grip has been increased significantly by a set of four adjustable racing-derived shock absorbers, which replace the standard active components. The shock absorbers are four-way adjustable to optimize the rebound and compression at both high and low frequencies, giving total freedom of choice in the set-up based on the track characteristics.
The special characteristics of the shock absorbers allow lower spring stiffness to be used while maintaining optimal dynamic control of the car and increasing steering precision. To maximize the driving dynamics, special Bridgestone Potenza Race tires have been developed, made with a specific high grip compound and installed on 20” single-nut rims.
These technical features enabled an improvement of more than one second on the Nardò Technical Center Handling Track lap time compared to the Huracán STO.
