SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE: The Huracán STO, the latest addition to Lamborghini’s V10 range, has debut on Rocket League, the multi-platform video game that has won more than 150 “Best Game” awards worldwide, combining two of the most popular passions: sports cars and soccer.
Psyonix, the production company behind Rocket League, chose the Huracán STO for its unique design inspired by Lamborghini racing cars and for its benchmark performance figures (top speed 310kph, acceleration from 0 to 100kph in 3.0 seconds), which make it a sports icon in the range.
The virtual version of the Huracán STO is available for gamers around the world from now through April 27 and will be used to compete in the Battle of the Bulls during the Rocket League Championship Series X Lamborghini Open of which Automobili Lamborghini is the official sponsor.
The purchased package includes the car in Blu Laufey and Arancio California and with different liveries and customization options.
The package is completed by the roar of the engine, two sets of tyres, and the exclusive “Huracán STO Player Banner” and “Antenna” systems developed by Psyonix.
Lamborghini president and CEO Stephan Winkelmann said the debut of Huracán STO in the world of Rocket League is a further step in the digital strategy of Lamborghini, which entered eSports in 2020 with its own one-make championship.
"Gaming and simulation are phenomena of particular interest to the automotive industry, important for engaging the new generations and making our cars even more popular with young people,” he said.
“Battle of the Bulls” will be played in a five-match series from April 23 to 25, and fans can follow the action live on Twitch.
The best Rocket League gamers will compete in a series of one-on-one matches, an event format created for Lamborghini, and each winner will receive a prize of US$5,000.
