One-off ‘Opera Unica’ Huracán Sterrato celebrates Lamborghini 60th anniversary

In an era where technological innovations are remapping the automotive landscape, Lamborghini continues to conjure the alchemy of art and engineering. This summer, at a 60th-anniversary dinner event in Porto Cervo, an exclusive Mediterranean locale, Lamborghini has pulled back the curtain on a new masterpiece: an “Opera Unica” Huracán Sterrato, a one-off creation that bears testament to the company’s rich legacy of design and its mastery in orchestrating vibrant hues and singular paint processes.

The “Opera Unica” Huracán Sterrato is not just a vehicle; it is a canvas, a tactile expression of Italy’s artistic heritage. With colors inspired by the vivid blues of Sardinia’s seas and skies, this bespoke creation celebrates the Lamborghini brand’s vibrant palette and its six-decade journey from a tractor manufacturer to one of the world’s preeminent luxury automakers.

The car’s exterior resonates with the brave, unyielding character of the super sports car lineage, capable of navigating both the silken roads and rugged terrains of the Costa Smeralda. It’s not just the bravura performance that sets this car apart, but the meticulous craftsmanship imbued into its unique hand-painted exterior. This process, involving a painstaking 370 hours of labor, imparts a crystal effect to the paint, mimicking frozen liquid.

Three distinct shades, Blu Amnis, Blu Grifo, and Blu Fedra, are applied in succession, each layer etched by hand to create a dazzling spectacle of light and color that captures the very essence of the Mediterranean landscape. It is an art form that encapsulates the marine-blue landscapes and the richness of Sardinia, a place where history, culture, and natural beauty coalesce.

The Opera Unica’s exterior, adorned in matt black paint, is given further aesthetic distinction with muscular wheel-arch protection and Morus 19” matt black rims. This detailing imbues the vehicle with a tangible sense of strength and dynamism, translating Lamborghini’s relentless pursuit of performance into physical form.

Inside, the Huracán Sterrato continues its celebration of unique artistry. Exposed carbon fiber is harmonized with Blu Delphinus leather, specially-dyed Alcantara, and Celeste Phoebe leather in a symphonic blend of textures and colors. Each element, down to the laser-silver seat-panel graphic and the crystal-effect finish of the start-stop button, underscores the car’s singularity. The interior also pays tribute to its limited series, with special plates marking the occasion of ‘Opera Unica Porto Cervo 2023’ and Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary.

The unveiling of this exceptional vehicle was an event fitting its grandeur. Held at the Cala di Volpe hotel, it saw 120 guests surprised and enchanted by the car’s dramatic debut on a waterside floating platform. Presented by Automobili Lamborghini’s Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the evening was accentuated with performances, dance, and a video unveiling the creative process behind this unique vehicle. Following its dazzling debut, the Huracán Sterrato Opera Unica is now showcased at the Lamborghini Lounge in Porto Cervo, where the Ad Personam personalization area stands as a testament to Lamborghini’s commitment to individual expression.
