      Despite its distinct features and being no longer in production, bidding for this 55-mile Huracan Sterrato fell short of the MSRP.

      A brand new Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato was sold for $302,000, which is $15,000 below its manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $317,272.

      This final bid reflects a broader trend of declining values in various vehicle categories.

      Even with the drop in value, the off-road Sterrato supercar continues to be a favorite among car enthusiasts.

      The Huracan Sterrato is known for standing out, and for good reason. It boasts a powerful naturally aspirated V10 engine (the last of its kind) and is uniquely characterized as an off-road supercar equipped with a lift kit, challenging the typical expectations of a Lamborghini.

      However, these traits did not entice bidders to meet the original asking price set by the Italian manufacturer. The final bid fell $15,000 short of the MSRP, despite the vehicle having only been driven 55 miles (89 km).

      To summarize, the Sterrato represents the loudest variant of the now-discontinued Huracan. Its 5.2-liter engine produces 602 horsepower (448 kW) and 413 lb-ft (559 Nm) of torque, achieving 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.4 seconds. Power is distributed to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. What truly sets this version of the Huracan apart are its 1.7-inch lift, all-terrain tires, and roof-mounted air intake scoop.

      The Auction That Fell Short

      Despite being out of production, a dealer in New Jersey offered this model with only 55 miles for sale on Bring A Trailer. It featured a white exterior, Nero Ade and Verde Sterrato interior, and 19-inch wheels. As with all Sterratos, it included rally-style light pods on the hood, black wheel arch flares, and a “Rally” mode. However, these features didn’t lead bidders to meet Lamborghini’s evaluation.

      Specifically, this particular car had an MSRP of $317,272 after adding options. Yet, the bidding ended at only $302,000. As this was a no-reserve auction, it appears the dealer may have lost approximately $15,000. While many new cars have discounts available, this situation is somewhat unexpected. Reviewers do not consider the Sterrato to be a misstep for Lamborghini; rather, opinions are quite favorable.

      Even in the auction comments section, many praised its impressive driving dynamics. One commenter stated, “My favorite out of all my cars. Best driving Lamborghini in my opinion.” Another noted, “Definitely best driving supercar. The way it drives is just as expected on one hand, and surprisingly balanced between stiff and soft on the other.” If this sentiment is accurate, and despite not having experienced the Sterrato yet, it seems the winning bidder ended up with a solid deal.
