Unique Opera Unica Huracan Sterrato celebrates Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary

Lamborghini celebrates its 60^th anniversary this year and it is being commemorated in various ways. One of them is with special editions and the latest to be presented is the ‘Opera Unica’ Huracan Sterrato, a one-off piece of art with a unique crystal-effect paint process.

A project of the sportscar maker’s Ad Personam department which offers personalisation services, the special Huracan Sterrato also demonstrates Lamborghini’s expertise in creating unique finishes and paint processes over the decades.

The unique, hand-painted exterior takes inspiration from the marine-blue landscapes and rich colours of Sardinia. The crystal effect of frozen liquid was created by a 3-colour hand-painted process.

Blu Amnis is used as the first solid paint colour, and then etched into by hand with a second Blu Grifo paint and a third colour Blu Fedra, in a process taking over 370 hours.

Matt black paint has been applied to the roof, sills and front-light casings, front and rear splitters and fenders. Its muscular, enhanced wheel-arch protection is also painted matt black, setting off Morus 19-inch matt black rims.

The interior is as unique as the exterior, with a seat-panel graphic lasered in silver. Even the cover of the start-stop button on the centre console is finished in the crystal effect of the exterior paint.

Exposed carbonfibre is used in visible in many areas, highlighting the extensive use of the lightweight material by Lamborghini since 1983.

Like all Huracan Sterratos to be produced, the interior carries a special plate denoting it as one of 1,499 in a limited series, as well as special plates celebrating ‘Opera Unica Porto Cervo 2023’, finished in the crystal effect paint, and Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary.

“The Huracan Sterrato was born from challenging the expected, delivering a super sportscar that goes beyond convention. The one-off Huracan Sterrato Opera Unica takes this to another level, and in Lamborghini tradition, draws attention and asks questions of it as an art form,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

“Lamborghini is always touched by the beauty and colours of Sardinia, and this is the perfect opportunity to experiment with a new paint process, explore the possibilities of our Ad Personam personalization, and then present this special Sterrato to our clients and guests in the environment that inspired the blue crystal effect,” he said.

The first presentation of the Huracán Sterrato Opera Unica was at a dinner for VIP clients and it is now showcased at the Lamborghini Lounge in Porto Cervo, a seaside resort in northern Sardinia.
