GETTING OFF AS AN SUV – There is big news in the golden world of dream cars: on the one hand the powerful effect of SUV fashion, on the other the Research exasperated by maxims performance in new areas, they have suggested to some manufacturers of super sports cars and supercars to create versions with raised wheels and an unusually “rough” look of their jewels. So Porsche brought out the new one 911 Dakara 480 HP 4×4 “beast” freely inspired by the racing ancestor that triumphed in the Paris-Dakar in 1984. From Sant’Agata Bolognese, Lamborghini responded with the Huracan dirt road: compared to its German rival it has an advantage of 160 HP and an equally adventurous look, but despite the four-wheel drive it has a less off-road vocation.

The recipe, in theory, does not differ much from that followed by Porsche and Lamborghini to set up their supercars with high wheels: greater “clearance” from the ground, reinforced tyres, guards and plastic tangs on the wheel arches, to protect the bodywork, and that’s it. Luckily, dreaming costs nothing. Because, in comparison, the approximately 320,000 euros estimated for a Huracán Sterrato would probably be tiny…
