LAMBORGHINI'S HURACÁN STO was mainly about answering the needs of the marque's customers, says Francesco Scardaoni, region director for Asia Pacific for Automobili Lamborghini. He pauses to wait for the roar of engines to pass by because the STO's debut is, of course, at Sepang International Circuit. There are only three of them on the track at the moment, but Lamborghini is the only major sports car manufacturer to hold on to naturally aspirated engines, and those 5.2-litre V10s sound colossal, even from the paddock balcony. "We believe that this is the engine that can give you the best emotion and the best driving feeling," he says during a lull in the musical cacophony. "The responsiveness of this engine is amazing. Especially on the STO, as soon as you touch the throttle, the engine revs up - it's an immediate response. It's the best engine you can choose."
