Lamborghini HURACAN STO Tailgate complete

Tailgate (Engine Hood/Cover) for the Lamborghini Huracán STO is one of the most complex and expensive “single” components ever produced for the Huracán line. Unlike other models, the STO tailgate is a massive, single-piece carbon fiber structure that integrates the Roof Snorkel, the Shark Fin, and the rear air intakes.

1. Technical Identification

• Part Number: Primarily 4T0827231 (with specific suffixes like S or T for the STO configuration).

• Material: 100% Structural Carbon Fiber.

• Key Features: * Integrated Snorkel: The air intake for the engine is part of this assembly.

  • Shark Fin: The vertical stabilizer that runs down the spine.

  • Quick-Release Latches: The STO does not use a traditional interior handle; it uses specialized “race-style” external pins/latches that require a specific STO key/tool to open.

3. Components of a “Complete” Assembly

If you are buying a “complete” STO tailgate, ensure it includes:

• The Snorkel Ducting: The internal plastic/carbon channeling that leads air into the airbox.

• Rear Glass/Polycarbonate: The STO often uses lightweight polycarbonate with louvers.

• Hinges and Pins: The mounting hardware for the STO is unique due to the way the panel lifts.

• Shark Fin Attachment: Ensure the fin is either part of the mold or included as a separate bolt-on.
