The Last V-10 Lamborghini Huracán Will Be the STJ
It builds off of the superlative Huracán STO, with unique aero and a limited run of just 10 units.
The Lamborghini Huracán, the “little” Lambo with a screaming V-10 that recently sprouted into the track-ready STO, is on the way out. And now we know what its last bow will look like: the 2024 Lamborghini Huracán STJ, which is indeed based on the Huracán STO. In fact, you can think of it as a special limited-edition STO with a few tweaks and a hard limit on volume. Just 10 of these STJs will be built, with the requisite special carbon fiber identification plates with the build number prominently displayed.

What’s the J for? Literally, it stands for “Jota”—which is simply Spanish for the letter J. But it refers to Appendix J of the FIA rulebook, which covers the requirements for touring and GT cars. The ST stands for Super Trofeo, the Lamborghini one-make series. So it’s inspired by those competition Huracáns, basically, and joins a small but proud group of other J-appended Lamborghinis, like the Aventador SVJ (Super Veloce Jota).
With all that out of the way, what’s different from the STO, and what’s the same? As mentioned, the STJ’s aero package is unique to the car, building on the STO’s bits with additional little scoop-like wings appended on the side of the bumper (called flicks), a more aggressive rear wing angle for 10 percent more downforce, adjustable race-derived shocks with special tuning, and unique Bridgestone Potenza Race compounds. Lamborghini claims all this knocks a second off of the STO’s lap time at Nardo—not a shabby increase for something already based on the formidable STO.
There are no changes with the engine; it’s still the 631-hp, 442-lb-ft V-10 backed up by a seven-speed DSG and pumping the power through the rear wheels exclusively. But you get Nardo bragging rights (and exclusivity) over the STO, so who’s counting?
Finally, the look is a little different from the STO. Buyers have a choice of two liveries: Grigio Telesto with a Nero Noctis roof and Rosso Mars and Bianco Isi details, or Blu Eliadi with the same ancillary colors. The inside is black Alcantara with red contrasting stitching.
Pricing? Unless you’re on the list, you probably don’t want to know. With just 10 being made, these are presumably all claimed, or will be soon, and with things like this the automaker usually drops a line to likely buyers before making the public announcement anyways. Still, it’s quite a send-off for the ferocious Huracán and it’s V-10. We expect its replacement to be powered by a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 with a performance-enhancing hybrid system.
Like a lot of the other staffers here, Alex Kierstein took the hard way to get to car writing. Although he always loved cars, he wasn’t sure a career in automotive media could possibly pan out. So, after an undergraduate degree in English at the University of Washington, he headed to law school. To be clear, it sucked. After a lot of false starts, and with little else to lose, he got a job at Turn 10 Studios supporting the Forza 4 and Forza Horizon 1 launches. The friendships made there led to a job at a major automotive publication in Michigan, and after a few years to MotorTrend. He lives in the Seattle area with a small but scruffy fleet of great vehicles, including a V-8 4Runner and a C5 Corvette, and he also dabbles in scruffy vintage watches and film cameras.
