Despite its unique character and being out of production, bidding for this 55-mile Huracan Sterrato stalled below the sticker price
- A new Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato sold for $302,000, $15,000 under its MSRP of $317,272.
- The final bid price serves as one more reminder that values are falling in several categories.
- Despite the value drop, the off-road Sterrato supercar remains a favorite among enthusiasts.
The Huracan Sterrato is one of those cars that manages to stand out for, well, pretty much every reason imaginable. With a roaring naturally aspirated V10 (the last of its kind) and the unique distinction of being an off-road supercar with a lift kit, it defies the usual expectations for what a Lamborghini should be.
Yet, despite all that, it wasn’t enough to make bidders bite at the price the Italian brand originally set. The final bid came in $15,000 shy of MSRP, even though the car had barely been driven, showing just 55 miles (89 km) on the clock.

To recap, the Sterrato is the most raucous version of the now-out-of-production Huracan. The 5.2-liter engine under the rear decklid makes 602 horsepower (448 kW) and 413 lb-ft (559 Nm) of torque for a 0-60 (96 km/h) in 3.4 seconds. That force ends up at all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. What really makes this Huracan version unique, though, is its 1.7-inch lift, all-terrain tires, and roof-mounted induction scoop.
The Auction That Fell Short
Despite being out of production, one dealer in New Jersey had one with just 55 miles up for sale at Bring A Trailer. It featured white paint, Nero Ade and Verde Sterrato upholstery, and 19-inch wheels. Like every Sterrato, it also came with rally-style light pods on the hood, black wheel arch flares, and a “Rally” mode. That wasn’t enough for bidders to spend as much on it as Lamborghini said it was worth.
To be specific, this exact car had an MSRP after options of $317,272. However, bidding reached just $302,000 and stopped there. This being a no-reserve auction, it seems that the dealer might have just lost out on around $15,000. While there are plenty of discounts out there on new cars, this one is a bit surprising. It’s not as if reviewers think the Sterrato is some failure on Lamborghini’s part; quite the opposite.

Even those in the auction comment section laud its excellent driving dynamics. “My favorite out of all my cars. Best driving Lamborghini in my opinion,” said one commentator. “Definitely best driving supercar. The way it drives is exactly what you expect on one hand, and shocking at the perfect balance between stiff and soft on the other,” said another. If that’s true, and not having driven the Sterrato (yet), we have no reason to doubt them, then the winning bidder did indeed get a good deal in the end.
