Lamborghini’s Temerario is a lot more powerful, but there’s no replacing the Huracan’s naturally aspirated V10

- The Lamborghini Huracan STO is listed with a salvage title after a severe accident.
- Significant front-end damage means extensive repairs are necessary to bring it back.
- The 5.2-liter V10 has only covered 1,142 miles and remains intact despite the crash.
The Lamborghini Huracan STO isn’t just the final iteration of the mid-engined supercar; it is, by all accounts, easily the best to drive in its lineup. Given how extraordinary this car is and the fact that it represents the last Raging Bull equipped with a naturally aspirated V10, we’re crossing our fingers that someone will save this particular example from a grim fate.
This white Huracan STO is currently available for purchase through Copart in Kansas City, but it comes with a salvage title. Unfortunately, the Italian exotic has been involved in a front-end collision, resulting in extensive damage that will likely require a significant financial investment to repair. However, it definitely has the potential to be brought back to life if someone is willing to invest the necessary time and resources.

The front bumper has been completely smashed to bits, and the splitter is missing entirely. It’s a similar story with the carbon fiber hood as it too has splintered and cracked and will need to be replaced. From the available photos, it’s impossible to say if any damage has been done to the Huracan’s front crash structure. The best-case scenario would involve it remaining intact, but even if there’s some bending, it might still be repairable.
Other damaged components include the windshield and the passenger side front quarter panel. The impact was also strong enough for the airbags to deploy.
Potential for Recovery
Thankfully, the rear half of the Lamborghini appears to be untouched, which suggests that the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine remains intact. The listing indicates that the car had only been driven a mere 1,142 miles (1,837 km) at the time of the crash, meaning the V10 has barely had a chance to breath.
If someone can successfully source the necessary parts for repairs, it will likely be a more economical option than attempting to purchase another Huracan STO from the used car market, where prices typically start at over $350,000.
