In the realm of high-performance supercars, Lamborghini's Huracan has left an indelible mark, and its final incarnation, the Huracan STJ (Super Trofeo Jota), bids a poignant farewell to both a beloved model and an iconic engine. Limited to a mere 10 units, all of which have been promptly claimed by collectors and aficionados, the STJ encapsulates the culmination of the Huracan's decade-long reign and the venerable V-10 powerplant that has defined its character.
While some might anticipate a boost in power typical of special editions, the Huracan STJ retains the potent 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V-10 engine, producing 631 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. Power is channeled exclusively to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission—a setup that ensures a pure and visceral driving experience.
What sets the STJ apart from its predecessors is a meticulous focus on refining its performance dynamics. The inclusion of four-way adjustable shock absorbers derived from Lamborghini's racing pedigree elevates the handling precision, complemented by 20-inch center-lock wheels encased in bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race tires. Noteworthy aerodynamic enhancements, including carbon fiber flicks at the front bumper corners and an adjusted rear wing angle, further optimize the car's stability and downforce.
Lamborghini's rigorous testing at the Nardo track demonstrated tangible gains, with the STJ shaving off significant time compared to its predecessor, the STO. Visual distinction is paramount, with two striking liveries—blue with a black roof adorned by red and white accents, or a sophisticated grey finish complemented by similar detailing—ensuring each of the limited run of 10 cars stands out as a bespoke masterpiece.
Step inside, and the exclusivity of the STJ is further emphasized by a numbered "1 of 10" carbon fiber plaque, reminding occupants of its rare pedigree. Personalization options extend to a customizable passenger-side plate, allowing owners to imbue their own touch of individuality.
However, for those reminiscing about Lamborghini's past special editions like the fabled Sesto Elemento, the STJ might feel less revolutionary. The Sesto Elemento was a track-focused marvel, notably shedding weight through extensive carbon fiber construction. Yet, the STJ's significance lies not merely in its performance but as a symbolic conclusion—an elegy—to the Huracan's chapter and the era of Lamborghini's renowned V-10 engine.
With production already spoken for and the replacement Huracan on the horizon, anticipation mounts as Lamborghini embraces the future—a future that, regrettably, may bid adieu to the naturally aspirated V-10 in favor of downsized, potentially turbocharged powertrains aligned with evolving emissions standards and performance demands.
As enthusiasts bid farewell to this automotive icon, the Lamborghini Huracan STJ stands as a testament to the marque's unwavering pursuit of excellence, leaving an enduring legacy in the annals of automotive history.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
