It Cost $35,372 to Drive This Huracan Sterrato for 251 Miles | Carscoops

      To put things in perspective, it translates to roughly $140 in value lost for each mile driven.

      Someone recently purchased a super-low-mileage Huracan Sterrato for $308,000. After just 251 miles of driving, its total value decreased by over $35,000. This is the second instance this month where a vehicle is listed for thousands less than its MSRP.

      The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato is regarded by many as one of the brand's greatest creations. It’s loud, exciting, and features a naturally aspirated engine. Moreover, unlike most Lamborghinis, navigating speed bumps won't be a cause for concern.

      Despite its impressive performance and rugged charm, it seems to be struggling with value retention, particularly when you find one with under 300 miles priced significantly lower than anticipated. This is especially surprising when juxtaposed with the increasing value of Porsche’s comparable 911 Dakar. Who would have imagined that, in the competition of off-road supercars, the Lamborghini could experience depreciation losses?

      Consider this 2024 model, for example. It sports Verde Turbine paint, a black and green interior, and 19-inch wheels. Like all Sterratos, it features a 5.2-liter V10 engine that produces 602 horsepower (448 kW) and 413 lb-ft (559 Nm) of torque, with power distributed to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

      As a Sterrato, it also includes a 1.7-inch lift kit, all-terrain tires, and a roof-mounted induction scoop for feeding the engine clean, fresh air. While these cars are equipped with signature hood-mounted light pods, not all have the stylish Sterrato-branded roof rack that this model possesses. Nevertheless, this one sold for an astounding $35,372 less than its MSRP.

      Lamborghini initially valued it at $343,372 when new. However, despite having only 251 miles (403 km) on the odometer, bidders at Bring A Trailer were willing to pay just $308,000. This represents a significant discount on a vehicle that is nearly new. In stark terms, that amounts to a 10% reduction from the MSRP, or for those who prefer, this car has lost $140.92 in value for each mile driven since leaving the factory. That's quite a hit.

      Despite Lamborghini producing only 1,499 units of this model, they are struggling to maintain their value for reasons unknown. Earlier this month, a white one without the roof rack was sold for $15,272 less than MSRP, even with just 55 miles on the clock. Though still a difficult sale, it doesn't compare to the depreciation this green variant has endured. Regardless, it seems the Sterrato might currently represent a bargain in the supercar market.
