Lamborghini Temerario GT3 unveiled, drops hybrid, adds racing upgrades. Check details
Lamborghini has officially introduced the Temerario GT3, a racing version of its latest road-going supercar. The new GT3-spec machine is the first competition car based on the Temerario platform and will compete in international GT3 series starting from 2026.
Unlike its predecessor, the Huracán GT3, the Temerario GT3 was developed from the outset with motorsport adaptation in mind, with the entire design, engineering, and assembly process handled in-house at the company's facility in Sant'Agata Bolognese. No hybrid, simplified chassis
Due to GT3 racing regulations, the hybrid system from the road car has been removed. This prompted significant changes to the chassis, which is now a simplified version of the aluminum spaceframe used in the production model. A new removable rear subframe provides space for the race gearbox and enables quicker service during races. The front subframe has also been redesigned, removing components associated with electric motors.

A roll cage built into the main frame guarantees FIA safety standards compliance, while overall chassis design has been aimed at ease of access and structural strength throughout endurance racing. Revised V8 for GT3 rules
The race car is powered by a modified version of the road-going twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine, now producing around 550 bhp—a drop from the 800 bhp seen in the standard version. The engine features smaller turbochargers, a redesigned airbox, titanium connecting rods, and recalibrated software to deliver a more usable power band suited to endurance racing formats.
It's paired with a six-speed transverse gearbox, and Lamborghini has developed a dedicated race exhaust system for the car. The absence of hybrid hardware has shifted demands to the combustion engine's thermal management, addressed by improved airflow and cooling system designs.

The carbon composite body panels have been designed with modularity. The front and rear are one-piece units, but the floor is divided into four pieces to make them easier to replace more quickly. Body design has features to control airflow for brake, radiator, and turbocharger cooling, yet retain a visual connection to the production model.
Changes also include a higher fuel flow refuelling system, an updated fuel tank sensor, and aerodynamic tweaks to maintain balance under braking and through cornering phases. Suspension, wheels, and interior adjustments
The Temerario GT3 rides on 18-inch wheels from Ronal AG and features a longer wheelbase and wider track than the previous Huracán GT3. The suspension system employs six-way adjustable dampers from KW, with simplified mounting solutions for quick setup changes over the course of race weekends.
Inside, the cockpit configuration has been modified according to feedback from Lamborghini factory drivers, with a new steering wheel design, new switchgear, and a revised data logging system All controls have been repositioned for ease of access during long stints and night driving. Race debut in 2026
The Temerario GT3 is still in testing and is set to see its competitive debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March of 2026. Lamborghini has also assured that it will continue to support current Huracán GT3 teams throughout the transition to this new platform. The Temerario GT3 has been built to meet global GT3 regulations and include different tyre manufacturers utilized within various series.

Street Dog Aura. 3-Crore Lamborghini Huracan Comes To A Halt In Mumbai
Mumbai: A video of a street dog blocking the path of a Lamborghini Huracan supercar on a Mumbai street has made its way to X (formerly Twitter) and amused people on the platform. The clip shows a street dog standing in front of the bright orange Huracan, whose driver slows down the supercar to navigate his way past the dog. When the driver moved his car around, the dog followed it and barked occasionally. After a few moments, the Lamborghini zoomed past the dog, which chased it until it disappeared in the distance. The video, shared on July 15, had the caption, "Kalesh b/w Sir Dogesh and Lamborghini," In the comments, users called it the "real boss of the road."

It then attempts to be playful with the robot, which reciprocates its actions. The same clip also showed other dogs trying to figure out the machine in their territory.

Kerala man builds dream Lamborghini replica with Alto parts, scrap materials worth Rs 1.5 lakh
A Lamborghini Huracan replica is grabbing eyeballs on social media, not for its speed or luxury parts, but for the story behind its creation. Bipin Chacko, the mastermind behind this project, from Kerala, spent three years building his dream supercar using scrap materials. Chacko documented the journey showcasing his DIY Lamborghini, which is winning plaudits. It's part of his ongoing series titled Homemade Supercar, which includes nine detailed episodes capturing the entire building process, from gathering scrap materials to final polish. Instead of high-end materials, Chachko used fibreglass and multiwood to shape the body of the car, achieving a look strikingly close to the real Huracan, and used a fully custom-made chassis by hand. He further revealed that he could only work on his creation during the night due to his busy schedule. Chacko also shared that he has already invested around Rs 1.5 lakh. However, he estimates that 20 to 30 per cent of the work is still pending. The interiors remain unfinished, with no cushioning yet installed on the seats. Watch the viral video here: A post shared by Arun Smoki (@arunsmoki) The video gained traction after popular auto vlogger Arun Smoki shared it, garnering over a lakh views and sparking a sea of reactions. 'Absolutely mind-blowing! Turning scrap into stunning Art takes skill, patience, and pure passion. Hats off to you for making the impossible look possible,' a user wrote. 'No one will raise you here bro. Go out somewhere and escape,' another user commented. 'Don't call it Lamborghini bro. its ur creative make ur brand with perfect name,' a third user reacted. A similar story emerged on social media earlier, where a 67-year-old man built an electric vehicle in Kerala. The vehicle uses up to one unit of electricity worth Rs 5 and could run 60 km when fully charged.
