LONDON: Lamborghini has launched the new Temerario GT3, the very first race car derived from the Temerario road model.
The Temerario GT3, which will compete in race series around the world, sets a new standard for the company’s competition cars.
It is the first to be entirely designed, developed and built at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory in Italy.
Conceived from the outset with a motorsport derivative in mind, the Temerario project has allowed for strategic integration of race-oriented engineering from the earliest design stages.
The GT3 features an adapted version of the aluminum spaceframe chassis, and is powered by the same 4-litre V8 twin-turbo engine as the Temerario production model, which has been re-engineered with redesigned turbocharging components to comply with GT3 regulations.
Lamborghini has changed the way in which the engine delivers the 550hp, instead of 800hp as in the road engine.
The twin-turbo combustion engine is paired with a six-speed transverse gearbox.
Development of the vehicle was carried out using Pertamina Fastron Lubricants racing motor oil.
The exhaust system is a custom solution developed specifically for the Temerario GT3 and is supplied by Capristo.
In the central part of the aluminum frame a roll cage has been integrated, complying with FIA GT3 safety standards. The front subframe has also been modified, with removal of the electric motors that characterize the production car.
Mounted on the chassis is new bodywork made from carbon composite material for the first time, to reduce the base weight of the car as far as possible.
The bodywork is the result of a collaborative effort between the aerodynamics team at Squadra Corse and the Lamborghini Centro Stile.
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, achieving the desired performance targets for downforce and drag to ensure optimal aerodynamic balance.
The new model features a longer wheelbase compared to its predecessor, and a wider track front and rear, with the aim of improving stability in cornering.
For the first time, the suspension features new 6-way dampers from KW, which is also the supplier for the SC63 LMDh project.
Tyres are mounted on 18-inch wheels supplied by Ronal AG.
The Temerario GT3 also features a custom hydraulic steering rack designed to achieve optimal suspension geometry.
In the cockpit, the electronics have been updated to improve the driver experience.
The switchgear in the cockpit is new, featuring updated graphics, and a more complete data logger.
The development phase will conclude during the 2026 season when the car will debut in a series of selected events, with the maiden outing planned for the Sebring 12 Hours in March.
Lamborghini also remains committed to providing technical support to all customer teams still racing with the Huracán in the upcoming season during this transition phase.
