While Lamborghini may be best known for its striking supercars that dominate the open road, the brand’s Accademia program is all about refining the skills of those lucky enough to get behind the wheel. Beginning October 7, 2024, Lamborghini Accademia returns, giving participants the chance to drive Huracán STO—a road-legal supercar with race car DNA With its fierce aerodynamics, a roaring naturally aspirated V10 engine, and motorsport-inspired engineering, the Huracán STO is equipped for both the racetrack and the road. To amplify its performance, the supercar rides on custom-engineered Potenza Sport and Potenza Race tires, developed exclusively for this model by Bridgestone. Participants are mentored by Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s elite instructors, drivers who dominate world-class GT championships and the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series. Under their expert guidance, guests are given a masterclass in racing dynamics, with professional feedback delivered in real-time from the passenger seat. Chasing Perfection Behind the Wheel with Lamborghini AccademiaEstablished to offer a deeper connection between the driver and Lamborghini’s track-inspired engineering, the Accademia is more than just a driving course—it’s an immersive journey into the world of motorsport. Originally launched to give customers a taste of Lamborghini’s racing prowess, the program has evolved into a multi-tiered experience where participants can sharpen their driving skills and prepare for potential careers in motorsport. The Accademia’s curriculum is carefully structured to cater to drivers of all skill levels. The classes progressively build from mastering vehicle dynamics—such as cornering, braking, and acceleration—into more advanced racing techniques like perfecting lap times and race strategy. Participants not only learn on the track but are also taken behind the scenes into the pit box, where Lamborghini’s engineers share insights into the technical aspects of preparing a car for race conditions. This hands-on experience offers a rare glimpse into the precision and preparation that goes into motorsport. Set against the iconic backdrop of the Vallelunga Circuit near Rome, participants experience more than just track sessions. The program seamlessly blends the adrenaline of high-performance driving with the culture of Italian luxury, offering guests access to the best of Rome’s Dolce Vita. Source: Lamborghini
