First Ice Driving Experience with the Huracán Sterrato
Combining the exhilaration of driving on ice atop Cardrona’s Pisa ranges, with the thrill of being behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, the Esperienza Neve experience is an experience like no other.
Lamborghini has leveraged the natural beauty of New Zealand and the world-class facilities at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground to deliver a very special event for some of its most valued customers from the Asia Pacific region.
A colourful parade of Lamborghini super sports cars and Super SUVs have been brought to Cardrona for an unforgettable ice driving experience as part of Lamborghini’s Esperienza Neve ice driving program. Guests have the opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience the sporty capabilities of the Huracán Tecnica and Huracán STO as well as Urus Performante and Urus S, on the snowy circuit under the guidance of professional Lamborghini driving instructors.
For the first time in Esperienza Neve, participants also had the opportunity to drive the all-terrain super sports car Huracán Sterrato, witnessing its prowess on snow and ice. The revised LDVI system (Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics) of the Huracán Sterrato delivers specifically-calibrated STRADA and SPORT drive settings for road, while the new RALLY mode optimized for dirt and loose surfaces including snow, further elevates the super sports car’s fun-to-drive personality as it conquers the low-grip surfaces of the winter proving ground with a dynamic flourish.
Under very low temperature conditions, Lamborghini’s team of professional instructors led the challenging driving exercises with precise instructions while ensuring each participant maximized their potential and Lamborghini cars’ performance capabilities on low-grip surfaces without compromising on fun or safety. The four-wheel steering of Urus Performante and Urus S perfectly performed each exercise on the challenging ice track, while the rear-wheel drive Huracán STO and Tecnica delivered high-octane race-oriented control even on snow.
“Esperienza Neve is the perfect dynamic ice driving environment for our valued clients to experience the powerful performance and potential of our Lamborghini cars in winter conditions. Featuring the Huracán Sterrato at the Esperienza Neve in the Southern Hemisphere for the first time, we are thrilled to be able to further demonstrate the capability of the all-terrain super sports car that goes beyond the asphalt.” Said, Lamborghini’s Region Director for Asia Pacific, Francesco Scardaoni.
During the three-day curated program, guests also had the pleasure of enjoying one of the most luxurious hotels situated on the shores of Lake Wakatipu with gourmet dining experiences at exclusive restaurants in the South Island of New Zealand.
