The Huracan series may be on its deathbed, with Lamborghini currently assembling the final copies and prepping its successor at the same time, which is believed to be christened the Temerario.
However, since there is still a relatively large market for tuning upgrades surrounding this model, VF Engineering has presented a supercharged Huracan STO. Well, it is actually a marketing approach to advertise this mod (and others), but we've got to admit that there is something seriously cool about a whining Raging Bull.
According to the tuner, the supercharging package unlocks another 200 horsepower (203 ps/149 kW) and 185 pound-foot (251 Nm) of torque from the 5.2L V10. As a result, the Italian supercar now puts 831 horsepower (843 ps/620 kW) under the driver's right foot and 602 pound-foot (816 Nm).
By comparison, the stock Lamborghini Huracan STO enjoys 631 hp (640 ps/471 kW) and 417 lb-ft (565 Nm) of torque. The naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 motor works in concert with a 7sp dual-clutch automatic 'box and all-wheel drive, enabling naught to sixty-two miles per hour (0-100 kph) in just three seconds flat. This model takes 9 seconds to 124 mph (200 kph) and taps out at 193 miles per hour or 310 kilometers per hour.

With the extra oomph brought by the supercharging package, the Lamborghini Huracan STO is even quicker. Unfortunately, VF Engineering has refrained from releasing the boosted acceleration times. Still, we think it is some two-tenths of a second faster, with the 0-62 mph sprint perhaps taking around 2.8 seconds. That's an impressive achievement for a vehicle that will turn four years old later this year and an interesting upgrade for the right owner.
But how much does it cost to turn this model into a supercharged beast with VF Engineering's bundle of upgrades? That's another question whose answer we do not know. We also have no clue how much interested parties will have to cough out for the new exhaust system, the reworked suspension, or the fresh wheels fitted to the pictured supercar.
Nevertheless, the tuner will answer all these questions upon reaching out to it, and if you're interested in the bundle of goodies for the Lamborghini Huracan STO found on VF Engineering's shelves and you contact the company, make sure you come back and hit the comments section to tell us how much everything costs. After all, it's not like we come across supercharged V10-powered supercars on a daily basis.
Now, our ideal Lamborghini Huracan, STO or not, would not feature any aftermarket add-ons other than perhaps a fresh set of wheels. However, we promise not to judge you if you decide to sprinkle yours with more stuff, including a supercharger kit. After all, we only live once, don't we?
