There are engines that you don't forget. Mechanics whose melody resonates far beyond the road. At Lamborghini, the naturally aspirated V10 is one of them. Born with the Gallardo in 2003, extended by the Audi R8 in 2009, then enhanced with the Huracan in 2014, this iconic block has accompanied more than twenty years of automotive passion. Today is the end of a cycle. And for its last dance, Huracan is bowing out with an ultimate version: the STJ.
A ten-year career, a plethora of variations, and a line that is as radical as ever: the Huracan is completing its journey as it began, with panache. The STJ, for Super Trofeo Jota, is part of a tradition dear to Lamborghini. That of the sharpest editions, like the Miura SVJ and Aventador SVJ. The letter “J”, synonymous with exclusivity for Taurus, announces the color: only 10 copies will be released, all of which have already been sold before their public presentation.
On the mechanical side, no revolution. The naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 maintains its 640 horsepower and 565 Nm, delivered at 8,000 rpm, sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. But a few optimizations make all the difference. Four adjustable shock absorbers, directly from the competition, reinforce efficiency. Tyres are also evolving: high-grip Bridgestone Potenza Races, designed specifically for this model. Result: the STJ won a full second on the Nardò circuit against the already very sharp STO.
Where the STJ really stands out is aerodynamically. Two new carbon appendages sharpen its shape, while the rear wing gains 3 degrees of inclination, increasing the aero load by 10%. Every detail is designed to maximize performance.
And since Lamborghini never does things by halves, two exclusive configurations signed by Centro Stile are offered. On one side, a Grigio Telesto dress with a Nero Noctis roof, highlighted by Rosso Mars and Bianco Isi touches. On the other, a more vibrant Blu Eliadi, always accompanied by the same two-tone treatment. The cabin remains faithful to the Huracan spirit: Cosmus black Alcantara, Rosso Alala stitching, leather inserts, and above all, a numbered carbon plate, recalling the exclusivity of the model.
The STJ marks the end of an era. A goodbye to the purity of V10, without hybridization, without compromise. Before giving way to the Temerario, equipped with a hybrid V8, Lamborghini is making a spectacular bow here. A final roar, raw and sincere. A page has been turned, and what a chapter.

Does destiny exist? A vast, almost philosophical question that engineers and Maserati enthusiasts would unhesitatingly answer in the affirmative. Founded in 1914 in Bologna by the Maserati family, the brand went from a simple mechanical workshop working on Isotta-Fraschini to a real competition department in a few years. In 1926, the Type 26 was born, the first homemade creation and the first to feature the Trident inspired by the Neptune Fountain in Bologna.
There is always that little hesitation when preparing for a trip. The desire to take your exceptional car, to enjoy every kilometer, to make the road an integral part of the experience... and, at the same time, the constraints. The logistics, the risks, the uncertainty of arriving serene. Too often, we give up, leaving our car where it is, sheltered but immobile. This is exactly where Carsup is changing the situation. Travelling in your car should never be a cause for concern, but a simple and smooth pleasure.
