Automobili Lamborghini presented a limited edition ‘All Terrain’ Ad Personam special series of the Huracan Sterrato at Italy’s prestigious Milan Design Week. The 12 cars, with exclusive liveries developed by Lamborghini’s Ad Personam studio in conjunction with its Centro Stile, are inspired by four different terrains to which the Huracan Sterrato especially lends its talents: snow, sand, off-beat tracks, and the earthiness of arid deserts.

If I’m honest, I never really liked the Huracán when it first came out. I’ve always felt that it was overshadowed by the shock and awe that came with the Aventador, and it just felt like the “replacement” for the outgoing Gallardo. That prejudice changed the day I went for the Huracán Spyder launch back in 2015. There, I met up with a nice chap called Stephen Winklemann, who graciously showed me around the car. Never heard of him? Maybe you should brush up on your Lamborghini history.

Supercars, in general, have made great strides in terms of usability over the past few decades. Rewind time to before I was born, and most supercar owners were stuck suffering with temperamental machines that were often broken down by the side of the road and were all but unusable in adverse weather. These days, however, supercars are practically as usable as your run-of-the-mill Prius; you'd be pretty much fine toddling down to the shops and picking up groceries in a McLaren or Ferrari as you would in a Toyota.
