Here are new pics of the 600bhp off-road Lambo Sterrato playing in a winter wonderland

There might not be anything more fun than sliding a car around in the snow or ice. 

Keep your skydiving, bungie jumping, spelunking, bull running, scuba diving, white-water rafting or whatever else besides; when it comes to pure entertainment, powersliding through powder-white puffs of snow is the single most entertaining thing on the planet. You’re at the very edge of traction, engine bellowing into the frigid emptiness, attempting to use weight transfer and momentum to your advantage while under the slight disadvantage of laughing so much that you might asphyxiate at any minute. 

So, with our position on the subject fairly well established, let us now add sweeteners in the form of ‘Italian Alps’, ‘Lamborghini’ and ‘V10-powered, off-road-ready Huracán’. You can likely suss out how we feel about sitting at a keyboard, writing about how someone else has experienced the ne plus ultra of entertainment... just with some ‘V10 banging off the rev limiter’ thrown in there to twist the blade a bit. But, being the gluttons for punishment that we seem to be, let’s do a quick rundown on what we’re missing. 

As you might expect from a modern all-terrain supercar, the Huracan Sterrato is all-wheel drive. Yes, the Lancia Stratos (i.e. possibly the best ‘whichever road you feel like’ machine in history) was rear-drive, but we’d argue there’s actually just as much (if not more) fun on offer with a bit of drive heading to the front axle. The wider track, raised ride height and all-terrain tyres are likely a less-divisive decision, as is the notion to fit an aluminium underbody tray and strengthen the sills, diffuser and wheel arches. 

Likely the least-concerning additions here are a 5.2-litre, 600bhp V10, mechanical locking rear diff and ‘rally’ mode, which is “optimised for loose surfaces, including snow”. Because if you’re going to take your one-of-1,499 Sterrato anywhere... well, we have one idea.
