Lamborghini Urus Takes to the Ice for Esperienza Neve Event in New Zealand
Lamborghini recently organized an exhilarating driving experience called Esperienza Neve in Queenstown, New Zealand, capitalizing on the region’s snowy and icy conditions. The event provided Lamborghini clients from the Asia Pacific region with the opportunity to push the limits of various Lamborghini models, including the Huracan Tecnica, STO, Sterrato, and Lamborghini Urus , in an environment known for its lack of traction.
Ice Driving Extravaganza
Lamborghini’s Esperienza Neve event took place at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds in Queenstown, New Zealand. Over the course of three days, clients were immersed in the art of ice driving, guided by Lamborghini driving instructors who shared their expertise on maximizing the performance of these supercars on low-grip surfaces. This unique experience allowed participants to get behind the wheel and slide the vehicles with precision and control, enhancing their driving skills under challenging conditions.
Testing the Huracan Sterrato
Esperienza Neve also provided guests with the opportunity to test Lamborghini’s latest offering, the Huracan Sterrato. This model is equipped with a Rally driving mode optimized for slippery surfaces like snow, dirt, and gravel. The Sterrato features a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine that generates 602 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 162 mph.
Unique Features of the Sterrato
The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato stands out with its distinctive characteristics. It features a raised ride height of 1.7 inches compared to the Huracan Evo, allowing it to tackle various terrains with ease. The vehicle is fitted with specially designed Bridgestone Dueler AT002 all-terrain run-flat tires mounted on 19-inch wheels. The exterior of the Sterrato boasts fender flares, roof rails, a roof-mounted air intake, and skid plates, giving it an adventurous and rugged appearance.
A Masterpiece on Wheels
In a demonstration of Lamborghini’s dedication to craftsmanship, the brand recently introduced the one-off Sterrato Opera Unica. This model boasts a hand-painted, three-color exterior featuring shades of Blu Amnis, Blu Grifo, and Blu Fedra. The intricate painting process took over 370 hours to complete, resulting in a truly unique masterpiece. The interior of the Sterrato Opera Unica is finished in Blu Delphinus, showcasing Lamborghini’s attention to detail both inside and out.
Conclusion
Lamborghini’s Esperienza Neve event in Queenstown, New Zealand, offered Lamborghini enthusiasts an unforgettable ice driving experience. By showcasing the capabilities of their vehicles in challenging conditions, Lamborghini continues to demonstrate its commitment to providing unparalleled driving adventures to its clients in the Asia Pacific region.
