Lamborghini debuts GT3 Temerario at FOS

Lamborghini debuts GT3 Temerario at FOS

While Lamborghini has paused its World Endurance Championship effort, it hasn’t abandoned sportscar racing entirely. An outgoing Huracan GT3 Evo2 won at Spa just a few weeks back with Grasser Racing, and now we know exactly what that car’s replacement – a car that will race ‘across the world’, no less – will look like: this is the Lamborghini Temerario GT3. 

While motorsport-prepped Lambos have existed in the past, this latest race car is notable for being a solely Sant’Agata creation; this isn’t a third party build that’s been given Lamborghini blessing. The new GT3 is ‘entirely designed, developed and built at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory in Italy’. Indeed the whole Temerario project was conceived with motorsport in mind from the very beginning, which makes sense given just how competitive top tier GT racing is right now. Any advantage that can be gained should be sought. Perhaps the only slight surprise is that this was always the plan for the Temerario, given the recent pause on its factory racing efforts. 

Still, another GT3 race car in the world must be a good thing, and if Lamborghini is taking the dedicated Temerario track car this seriously then imagine what the roadgoing equivalent could be like. The old Huracan STO was a highpoint of an incredible range, a proper GT3 RS rival with perhaps an even more exhilarating powertrain, so anything that can repeat that sort of achievement will be eagerly anticipated. 

For now, the competition machine. As often tends to happen these days, the GT3 car is less powerful and less complex than the street car, here with the production Temerarios hybrid system removed and 4.0-litre V8 detuned from 800hp to somewhere around 550hp (Balance of Performance dependent, you see). But while there are new turbos for that, important parts from the road car like the flat-plane crank are included; Lamborghini likes to point at this as an example of a design architecture ‘explicitly oriented towards potential motorsport integration from the initial concept phase.’ There’s a Capristo exhaust like any Lamborghini desperate for more attention needs, a six-speed sequential, and 18-inch Ronal wheels. 

The switch from Huracan to Temerario brings a longer wheelbase plus wider tracks, which should benefit stability; aero improvements aim to keep it settled under brakes as well. Lamborghini says the race car chassis is taken from the Sant’Agata and then converted ‘though extensive lightweighting and simplification’; that’s things like making subframes easier to remove in case of damage (same for diffuser and bonnet), integrating a cage and fitting six-way adjustable KW dampers – the same company that supplied the units for the SC63 LMDh car. 

Carbon composite bodywork sits atop the adapted aluminium chassis. ‘The aim was to maintain the production car’s unmistakable style while adapting it to the requirements of the new engine and brake cooling system,’ says the release, ‘achieving the desired performance targets for downforce and drag to ensure optimal aerodynamic balance.’ Global GT3 grids aren’t short of arresting race cars, from Ferrari to Ford Mustang and monster M4s to angry Aston Martins; even with those to factor in, the Lambo won’t be missed. There’s maybe a bit of Koenigsegg to the rear view (and that’s meant as a compliment), with a spoiler reaching for the sky, a weapons-grade exhaust and a diffuser that burrows deep under the car. The front end, complete with an abundance of lights and huge canards like motorsport sideburns, is not one you’ll want to see in the rear view camera. 

Given the popularity (more than 200 sold) and success (nearly 100 titles) of the Huracan GT3 over the past decade or so, the Temerario successor has some act to follow. Expect it to be sold to customer teams across the globe, though with no mention yet of a factory GT3 campaign: ‘The Temerario GT3 has been developed to be competitive with all relevant makes of tires and GT3 regulations and aims to serve the needs of Lamborghini’s customer teams, who require an increasingly refined and raceable product.’ It’s expected to race for the first time at Sebring next March, ahead of running in selected events throughout 2026 – and with support for the Huracan to continue during this time. 

Stephan Winkelmann said: “The Temerario GT3 is the first racing derivative of the Temerario project, further emphasizing Lamborghini’s strong commitment to motorsport as a key tool for promoting our brand… The Temerario GT3 will set a benchmark for its competitors, just as the road-going Temerario has.” A bold claim given the calibre of both road and race cars like the new Lamborghini that are out there. Not long, however, to find out whether Winkellman is correct – the road car drive is later this month…
