The off-road version of the 912 sports car was introduced by the company. The brand that made its name building track-focused sports cars wants to do the same thing again. The Huracn Sterrato is a jacked up version of the Huracn.

The Sterrato is not for rock crawling. It is not a good idea to fan out waves of sand in the dunes. It is more likely to be seen on the Las Vegas Strip than on the highway.

The Huracán Sterrato comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

New graphics on Sterrato’s interior touchscreen display incline, pitch and roll levels; steering angles; and geographic coordinates. The car can be controlled remotely via an app that monitors speed and navigation.

The company says it's the best way to carry you. It describes the driveway in many parts of the world. In Italian, it's called Sterrato.

Being able to navigate a choppy driveway is a victory for the Huracn. Even on the most innocuous city streets, carbon fiber chins and splitters and rims are more likely to get scratched than they are in the cockpit.

The new fog lights look cool, even if they’ll never illuminate a camp site. 

The new wave of customers who have camped, hiked, skied and off-roaded with their 911s, at least approximated the look for posts on social media, were the reason for the trail finder. Customers are spending time with their Huracns. They don't have a cross-country, baja-style race car with a rally win in their heritage. Who doesn't need heritage when there's money to be made?

Rouven says that they were inspired by rally races and cars from the 1980s. The man came in and asked why the car wasn't made. You need to do it.

Michael Dean said in an email that there is genuine financial incentive behind making wild, limited- edition versions of existing models. It's important for companies considering initial public offerings to have small production numbers because they can command high price premiums and bolster profit margins.

Dean said that the limited editions show that they can match the business model of Ferrari. The operating earnings over operating sales margin has been overtaken byLamborghini. It is a case of showcasing new technology and continuing to build the brand for them.

The close timing for the two vehicles was not intentional, but the two cars shared ideas during the development process. The Huracn has been pumped up almost as much as the car was.

The Sterrato has increased ground clearance by 44 millimeter, compared to the HuracnEVO, and has widened the front and rear tires. Dust-free air is sent to the engine from the high set air intake in the back.

Added roof rails look as if they might almost be practical.

An air vent in the rear helps send clean, dust-free air to the engine. 

The Huracn has a 610-hp, V10 engine that can go zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 160 mph. The Huracn STO has a top speed of 199 mph and a top speed of 60 mph.

Pre-orders for the Huracn Sterrato will start by the end of the year. 1,499 will be sold around the world. The random number does reflect increased production volumes that were raised after preliminary photos of the vehicle resulted in higher-than- anticipated demand.
