The Lamborghini's freshest racing car, the Temerario GT3, has been revealed, and it's loud, fast, and with one thing in mind: winning. It was revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and will be Lamborghini's next factory-backed GT3 racer to officially replace the Huracán GT3 Evo 2, following homologation in 2026.

Whether you're a racing fan, or just love hearing about fast cars, the Temerario GT3 is one of those cars that you can't ignore—and it has a lot of substance to back it up beyond being just a pretty face.

Built Fully In-House at Lamborghini’s Italian HQ

Lamborghini really broke new ground with this one; it’s the first time the company has developed a GT3 car completely at its Sant'Agata Bolognese base in Italy. From the chassis to the aerodynamics, even the design language was created by Lamborghini engineers.

Why is this unique?

  • Lamborghini maintained full control over performance, quality and innovation
  • Ensures a more cohesive vision between the street and racing product
  • Made with real race teams needs in mind- Efficient, aggressive and track proven

It's a proud moment for the team in Italy. You can feel the love that's gone into this car- interms of power and building ways to further their racing heritage forward.

A Twin-Turbo V8 That's Strictly for the Track 

While the road-going Temerario includes hybrid gear, the race version drops the electric bits to comply with GT3 regulations. However, it retains that healthy twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, which is now tuned specifically for endurance racing.

Here's what it provides:

  • About 550 horsepower, with a focus on a race-ready tune
  • Rear-wheel drive layout, mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox
  • Designed to endure long periods of time, heat, and adverse competition

It's not just about straight-line speed—it's about prolonged, reliable power; track reliability; and cold-blooded endurance. Specifically for multi-hour races like the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Where The Function Meets Form In A Stunning Racing Package

Every body panel, wing, and diffuser has a purpose.  Lamborghini's racing division ensured that every component was aerodynamically efficient, while fully understanding that race cars are supposed to be easily repaired and performed quickly. 

Some of the highlights include:

  • Carbon composite body panels used for rigidity of the car and flow of surrounding air.
  • Quick release bodywork so if the car gets damaged it can be repaired quickly during a pit stop. 
  • An aluminum spaceframe chassis to maintain the structural integrity of the car, and maintain safety for the driver.
  • A 6-way adjustable KW suspension system to control how the car handles.

The steering is hydraulic, not power steering, purposely done to maintain driver feel and feedback.  Clearly, Lamborghini wants this car to be competitive and intuitive to drive.

When and Where You'll See It in Action

Mark it down—March 2026, the Temerario GT3 will race debut in the 12 Hours of Sebring in what is known as one of the hardest endurance races in the U.S., as the car finishes its last bits of real-world testing and will head to selected customer racing teams soon.

What to expect next:

  • Track testing the car with pro drivers is already underway
  • A limited number of units will be built in 2025 for customer teams
  • Competitive entry into international GT3 championships

This isn't just a car—this is Lamborghini committing to its racing future with something that is truly homegrown.
