Ferruccio’nun Hayalinden Piste: Son V10 Huracán STO 60th Anniversary
After World War II, all of Europe was trying to build a new life from the ruins. Despite the tragedy of this great war, people had dreams they wanted to cultivate in peacetime. Ferruccio Lamborghini also wanted to revive his hopes and revitalize Italian agriculture during this period. The reduced manpower due to war and migration needed to be compensated for with machinery. The technological advancements brought about by the war would serve this purpose. Using leftover military parts from the war, Ferruccio founded Lamborghini Trattori to produce tractors for use in the fields of Southern Italy. However, Ferruccio's passion was not limited to agricultural machinery; he was also a car enthusiast and speed lover. He wanted to collaborate with Ferrari, which he admired, but this offer was rejected with the response, "Go make tractors." This rejection can perhaps be considered a turning point in automotive history; because this event marked the beginning of Lamborghini's vision for a supercar.
This event sparked the ongoing Ferrari–Lamborghini rivalry that continues to this day. Over the past 62 years, the brand has achieved countless successes, created iconic models, and broken records. Looking back at this legacy, one of its most special models stands out: the Huracán STO 60th Anniversary. Developed specifically for Lamborghini's 60th anniversary, this model is one of the last representatives of the V10 naturally aspirated engine world. Born in 2014 as the successor to the Gallardo, the Huracán evolved through versions such as the EVO, Performante, and Technica. The STO (Super Trofeo Omologato) became the purest track-focused version of this evolution. The 60th Anniversary edition marks the end of this story. As the Huracán family reaches the end of its production, it prepares to be replaced by the hybrid V8 Temerario.
The Huracán STO 60th Anniversary stands out with its track-inspired design. The Cofango, a one-piece front hood-fender-bumper combination, pays homage to the Miura and optimizes airflow. With its roof scoop, shark fin, and three-stage adjustable rear wing, the vehicle generates up to 420 kg of downforce; aero efficiency is 37% higher than the Performante. Special color combinations prepared by the Ad Personam team, Alcantara details, and 60th plaques make this model a valuable collector's item. Thanks to the STO/Trofeo/Pioggia driving modes and the telemetry system monitored via the UNICA app, the vehicle offers maximum performance both on and off-road. In conclusion, the Huracán STO 60th Anniversary is more than just a car; it represents the final appearance of the V10 engine and the last pure naturally aspirated experience before the transition to the hybrid era, making it one of the rare examples in Turkey for car enthusiasts.
