LAMBORGHINI has revealed a "Last Dance" supercar to honour an iconic model as it's set to be discontinued.

The motor, as the name suggests, will be the last of its kind ahead of the brand releasing its first full EV.

The Italian manufacturer, founded in 1963, is in the midst of an intense period of transition.

Just last month, it switched up its iconic logo for all future cars - the first time it has done so this century.

Now, Lambo has unveiled the Huracan STJ, which will bring the curtain down on its legendary V10 engine and the model itself.

The latest variant will close out a decade-long production run that began in 2014.

Only 10 examples are expected to be made and it will be the most fastest Huracan ever produced.

Technical specifications released by the company suggest it will develop a whopping 630 horsepower.

That's the same as the previous STO edition, but Lambo say that some minor mechanical tweaks have allowed the STJ to chop a whole second off its predecessor's lap time on its test track.

The extra speed has been accounted for by a modified suspension system based on designs used by the company's motorsport teams/

Lambo say that the STJ will represent the "pinnacle" of the Huracan before it is phased out in just months.

Pricing information is yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to cost more than the most recent SVJ version, which sat at £360,000.

Other editions are no longer available to order as production is wound down in favour of a hybrid replacement coming by the end of the year.

The new model, believed to be called the Temerario, has been spotted in pre-production testing and is expected to combine a new V8 engine backed up by a battery-powered motor.

It comes ahead of the debut of Lambo's first all-electric model, slated for release in 2028, as it transitions away from petrol power in line with tightening net zero restrictions coming in the next decade.
