Internally on our company Slack channel, the first impression of the Sterrato was mixed at best.
“Soooo, like a Subaru Outback with no storage and a 1,000 HP?,” wrote Iron & Air’s co-founder, Gregory George Moore.
Later adding:
“So they have a hyper-fast SUV made for the street and a hyper-fast track car made for the dirt. Got it. Unless you’re trying to jump the car from one mountain top to another, then this might not be the best tool for the job of off-roading. But I can’t WAIT to see all the dummies with more money than brains beat these things up on a trail. Much entertainment is incoming. Imagine trying to insure one of these things!?”
Chris Hunter, former editor-in-chief of BikeEXIF, chimed in:
“I got overtaken by a Huracan the other day while driving to Auckland; it was insanely fast (and loud). Over here, those things cost as much as a small house.”
Moore then mused about the presumably insane cost of maintaining a Lamborghini all-terrain vehicle:
“This flies in the face of any practical off-roading vehicle wisdom. Generally, one would want something that’s easy to fix, has parts availability, and have those parts be affordable for ideal off-roading. Won’t be long before we have reels and clips of some guy absolutely totaling one of these.”
