The Lamborghini Huracan STO has a host of unique features that make it the sharpest, most agile Lambo of all time. It’s the lightest Huracan; it’s rear drive only; it’s got razor sharp, linear steering, the best brakes, and the quickest-shifting DCT yet. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. VF Engineering has applied their standard “bring the power up to the capability of the chassis” formula with their 6psi inter cooled supercharger kit, good for 200 additional horsepower and 175 additional lb/ft of torque. The curves stay the same, they just go up. Matt and Zack hit a freshly paved canyon with one of the most involving Lambos ever!

True, $46K is a lot of money. But think of it this way. I can only afford a GR86 for $30K, but will not think twice before spending 10% of the car's price to upgrade the I/H/E and wheels/tires. For someone who has $400K for an STO, I'm sure the SC cost just as reasonable.

@04dram04 Год назад

That logic doesn't make sense. The the price of the car its going on, shouldnt effect the cost of the kit. There is no good reason this cost 6 times as much as a equal sized suercharger kit for a cheaper car. Still costs about the same to make. And the price should reflect that, plus expenses of a more limited production

@Jr_5646 Год назад

@@04dram04 I wish that's how it worked, but unfortunately it's not.. Floor mats for a laferrari are like $1500. They don't cost 100 times more to make then ones from Walmart. 2 tone paint job on a Huayra is $200,000. Getting a manual transmission instead of an auto in a Zonda is $300,000. Even getting different color seatbelts will cost $500-1000. The cost of something has nothing to do with what it costs to make. It's all about what your customers are willing to pay.

@slickest123452 Год назад

@@04dram04 gotta pay to play up here lol. plus, if they’re only going to sell 20 STO supercharger kits, they need to distribute the cost to develop them across a smaller customer base

@phattiger1506 Год назад

@@04dram04 As the others said, what you are not factoring in, is there will be a lot more takers on kits for cheaper cars, bringing tooling costs per unit down, for cars like this, they would be selling a lot less kits, meaning the cost needs to be in the unit price. Not saying there isn't a fat margin there, but it isn't a like for like comparison.

I know this video is 5 months old now but for anyone seeking to buy the VF kit for your STO or other Huracan models here's the scoop. I had mine installed about 3 months ago at VF Engineering. It cost me a total of $56K for the SC kit, Ryft titanium exhaust, parts, labor, tax and install. If you just do the SC kit will run you about $48K. You could get a cheap turbo kit for less but you will end up having downtime fussing with repairs and having to have the car constantly re-tuned for AFR or timing issues according to most who have told me.

Nonsense, that's just you eating up VF marketing. The SCs have heat soak issue, that the TTs don't, and they charge more for the SC kit than a comparable TT kit.

@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA Год назад

I have had my VF SC kit on my Performante for about 3 months now. Absolutely love it! No CEL, no overheating issues. All of my friends with their TT kits on their LP610-4 and LP580-2 have had issues repeatedly.

@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA Год назад

@@GoesSlow False! No heat soak on the VF kit. Turbos will always generate more heat in an engine bay than any blower, as the turbos are dependent on exhaust gases to spin the turbines. When I was getting my VF SC kit installed at VF's shop there was a 30K mile Evo LP640-4 getting a new belt put on it's SC kit. The original belt was still fine it was done as precautionary. Apparently the blower had 30K miles on it and was installed when the car was literally new. Not one issue! That's impressive.

As Matt said, for 400k it totally makes sense to spend 40 for a supercharger. Do not see why you'd wanna turbo it too considering it's rwd so it won't hook up not nearly as well as the awd Huracans. The jetpack analogy was 😂 Good stuff! Two takes best takes fr fr

@GoesSlow Год назад

The TT kits can get boost by gear, so you're even more likely to put the power down when compared to a SC. The SC kit is just too expensive for the power boost vs a TT kit.

i always wanted to see one of these superchargers with more boost, methanol, e85/race fuel etc. i always just see stock+ the blower. imagine like a syvecs/motec system. can probably make 750-800 with the right stuff. maybe even like an inner-chiller, or icebox etc.

Was the car on stock exhaust or was that VFE's race exhaust? I have an STO coming soon. I already put my deposit down with VFE. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, keeps asking me why I didn't go with a TT setup and what you guys mentioned at the end is why. I don't want to change the character of the car completely. Reliability is another thing too. I see guys with TT kits breaking stuff all the time. It's a much more complicated system to add to an engine. Glad you guys enjoyed the car. Makes me more excited about mine. Thanks for the review.

The sto was a brilliant move on Lamborghini’s part. The Perf was a great version of the huracan, but this was a hell of a way to finalize the platform. The looks are aggressive and crazy, performance is staggering compared to any other trim level and the customization list is exactly what people have wanted. Sheepy Race and Gintani have both built twin turbo versions of this that are mind numbingly fast (1500hp+).
