Lamborghini has filed for trademarks on the names “Huracán Sterrato” and “Huracán Tecnica,” hinting at new variants of the V-10 supercar.
Australian Website First to Identify DriveThe trademark applications for Europe were filed on October 28. In recent years, Lamborghini used both of these names.
The Huracán Sterrato name was last used on a 2019 concept car that added some off-road flair to the Huracán, including a raised ride height, chunky tires, and underbody protection. Sterrato, the Italian word for “dirt,” is what we call it. An unofficial report at the unveiling of the concept indicated that Lamborghini was considering producing a version.

The Tecnica was previously used not on the Huracán, but on its predecessor, the Lamborghini Gallardo. Gallardo Edizione Tecnica was launched as a limited edition in 2012. It is based on Gallardo LP570-4. The Gallardo LP570-4 was redesigned with a fixed rearwing and carbon ceramic brakes. It also had some contrast bodywork.
It’s worth noting the automakers often trademark names—or renew trademarks on names used in the past—that they have no plans to use, sometimes to block other companies from using them. Still, with the Huracán nearing the end of its lifecycle, it’s possible that Lamborghini will launch some runout specials.
Little is known about the Huracán successor, but it will likely have some degree of hybridization in keeping with Lamborghini’s emissions-reduction plan. Lamborghini confirmed the plug-in hybrid powertrain that will accompany its Aventador successor. It is based on a new V-12 motor. This is the company’s third V-12.
