The STJ is also the jointly most powerful Lamborghini Huracan ever built.
Lamborghini has revealed the new Huracan Super Trofeo Jota (STJ) – the Italian manufacturer’s final ever car to be fitted with a V10 engine. The Huracan STJ is limited to just 10 units before production of the Huracan series, which started back in 2014, comes to an end. The model will be replaced by a new hybrid sports car later this year.

Lamborghini Huracan STJ: powertrain
Powering the Huracan STJ is the same 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 as the Huracan STO, putting out 630hp and 565Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox, feeding power to the rear wheels only.
The Huracan STJ is equipped with a dedicated aerodynamic package developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse technicians that helps it go one second quicker than the Huracan STO around the Nardò Technical Center Handling Track, despite packing no extra performance. The package brings in two new carbon fiber appendages and adjusts the angle of the rear spoiler by 3 degrees. Lamborghini says downforce has been improved by around 10%.
Moreover, a new set of race-derived, four-way adjustable shock absorbers have been fitted, which allow for increased stiffness and improved handling. The STJ also uses special Bridgestone Potenza racing tyres installed on 20-inch single-nut rims.
Lamborghini Huracan STJ: design
While Lamborghini says that the Huracan STJ’s design is based on the STO, it’s available with two different configuration and livery options. The first one features Grigio Telesto (grey) exterior paint, matched with a black roof and red and white trim. Inside, it gains black Alcantara seats with red stitching. The second design, with bright blue Blu Eliadi paintwork, also gets a black roof with red and white trim details. Both are fitted with a commemorative plaque marked 1-10 to reflect the model’s exclusivity.
Lamborghini Huracan STJ: pricing, India launch
The pricing for the Huracan STJ hasn’t been revealed yet. However, it is expected to cost more than the Huracan STO, which was priced at Rs 4.99 crore (ex-showroom) in India. That said, considering the limited run of just 10 units, the Huracan STJ isn’t expected to arrive to our shores.
