There are some surprises in the automotive industry. It is no surprise to anyone that Lamborghini consistently fields some of the highest-performing cars in the world. Sometimes it is a surprise who steps up to the plate as a challenger. Audi first entered the supercar arena with the 2006 R8. The V10, sleek supercar shape, and eye-catching design features captured the imagination of auto enthusiasts around the world. How do they compare? Let’s examine the 2022 Lamborghini Huracán STO vs 2022 Audi R8 | Austin TX.
Numbers speak for themselves, so let’s see what’s in store for drivers of these vehicles:
2022 Huracán STO | vs | Audi R8 |
2.5 | 0-60 MPH in seconds | 3.4 |
198 | Top speed in MPH | 200 |
5.2L V10 | Engine | 5.2L V10 |
7-speed dual-clutch automatic | Transmission | 7-speed dual-clutch automatic |
RWD | Drive | RWD |
631 | Horsepower | 562 |
443 | Torque Lb.-Ft. | 406 |

3351 | Curb Weight Lb. | 3600 |
75% carbon fiber body with front opening “cofango” hood | Unique Feature | Comes in coupe or convertible |
The powertrain for these two vehicles is identical in displacement and transmission, however, the STO creates 60 more horsepower, more torque, and weighs just shy of 250 pounds less. The STO makes extensive use of carbon fiber for the body, which accounts for such a trim weight. The lighter weight combined with the horsepower boost means a significantly faster 0-60 time, and overall higher performance.
For a day-to-day driver, the R8 takes the edge for the more accessible price and better mileage. For pure performance, high tech design in the body, chassis, engine, and interior – the Lamborghini has the edge. Once again, we must lean towards the Lamborghini as the leader.
