Brace yourself for the stormiest Huracan

Singapore

IF the Lamborghini Huracan STO were a movie, it would be a Michael Bay picture - only more coherent. This isn't a car built to merely entertain you, but to assault your senses with non-stop spectacle and relentless action. Spend enough time behind the wheel, and you emerge from the cockpit with the sort of natural high that comes after a wild and crazy ride, along with the vague feeling that you've lost some of your hearing.

The premise is straightforward but irresistible. The STO bit stands for Super Trofeo Omologata (Super Trophy Homologation), meaning this car borrows a bunch of ideas from the Huracan GT3 Evo, a racing car that has a habit of winning endurance races repeatedly, as well as from the Huracan Super Trofeo Evo, a racing series in which all the drivers compete in the same kind of car. It doesn't really matter that, if you think about it, Lamborghini has less racing heritage than Toyota, because a good storyline trumps the mundane truth.
