Lamborghini’s Latest Supercar Is Headed To The Track

The Goodwood Festival of Speed continues and Lamborghini has used the event to unveil the new Temerario GT3. It’s the first race car based on the Huracán successor and the model is slated to make a competitive debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March of 2026.

Looking proudly Italian, the race car was the first to be fully designed, developed, and built at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory. This meant the motorsport focus started from the outset of the Temerario project and allowed for “strategic integration of race-oriented engineering from the earliest design stages.”

Starting outside, the Temerario GT3 wears carbon composite bodywork that was jointly developed by Squadra Corse and Lamborghini Centro Stile. It closely mirrors the production model, but incorporates a number of improvements to optimize aerodynamics, stability, and cooling.

Lamborghini didn’t go into many specifics, but the car features a prominent front splitter as well as pronounced flics. They’re joined by revised air intakes, a ventilated hood, and a central light bar.

The styling changes continue further back as the GT3 has lightweight windows and ventilated front fenders. We can also see aggressive side skirts and 18-inch wheels from Ronal AG.

While the Temerario’s rear end is far from subtle, the GT3 kicks things up a notch with a massive diffuser. Designers also gave the car a larger spoiler and a sizable rear wing.

The company didn’t release interior pictures, but said the model has a roll cage and a new steering wheel that was developed using feedback from drivers. Elsewhere, there’s new switchgear and graphics as well as a more complete data logger. The company also said drivers can expect updated electronics and dedicated software.

The car rides on a modified aluminum spaceframe chassis, which has been designed to meet the structural and serviceability requirements of racing. The chassis has also undergone “extensive lightweighting and simplification.” This includes the removal of unnecessary hybrid brackets as well as changes to allow for the quick removal and replacement of parts – such as subframes – at the track.

The Temerario GT3 has a racing suspension that uses new six-way dampers from KW. Other notable highlights include a wider track and a longer wheelbase than the Huracán GT3 Evo2.

Power comes from a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, just like the road-going model. However, the race car ditches plug-in hybrid components as well as the front-mounted electric motor. Those aren’t the only changes as the GT3 features smaller turbochargers and a redesigned airbox. They’re joined by a new Capristo exhaust and a recalibrated engine control unit that now delivers “maximum performance across a broader rev range.”

Thanks to all of these changes and racing regulations, the output of the twin-turbo V8 falls from 789 hp (588 kW / 800 PS) to 542 hp (405 kW / 550 PS). However, the drop is even bigger when you consider the road-going model has a combined output of 907 hp (677 kW / 920 PS).

The refueling system has been updated to increase the flow rate and speed up pit stops. The revamped tank also houses a new fuel sensor, which promises to deliver more accurate readings.

Lamborghini is still working on the car, but it has some pretty big shoes to fill. As CEO Stephan Winkelmann noted, its predecessor won 96 championships and generated over 200 sales.
