Temerario GT3: Lamborghini's First In-House Race Car Debuts At Goodwood
Lamborghini pulled the wraps off the Temerario GT3 at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, showing it alongside the road-going Temerario it's based on. But this isn't just another track version of a road car. It's Lamborghini's first competition car to be fully designed, developed, and built in-house. Finished in a striking Tricolore paint job, the GT3 embraces its Italian racecar heritage. But it's not just about looks. The hybrid system is gone, the body is all business, and this is the car that will lead Lamborghini's GT3 racing efforts starting in 2026. Powering the GT3 is the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 found in the road car. But to meet GT3 regulations, Lamborghini removed the electric motors and fitted smaller turbochargers. That drops power produced by the gas-fed engine from 800 hp to around 550 hp, but it also slashes weight. The redline still sits at an ear-piercing 10,000 rpm, and a custom Capristo exhaust makes sure it sounds the part. The dual-clutch transmission is gone too. In its place is a six-speed transverse gearbox, designed to take the abuse of endurance racing. Related: Lamborghini is Betting on Synthetic Fuel to Save the Combustion Engine Lamborghini's Centro Stile and Squadra Corse teams worked together to sculpt the GT3's bodywork. It's made from carbon composite materials and shaped to find the perfect balance between downforce and drag. But it also had to be practical. The front and rear body sections are single-piece units for quick removal in the pits, and even the headlights are fitted with quick-release connectors. Cooling has also been improved to keep everything stable during long runs, especially the two turbochargers. Underneath it all is a modified aluminum spaceframe, fitted with a fully removable rear subframe and an integrated roll cage that meets FIA GT3 safety standards. In traditional race car fashion, the Temerario GT3's interior has been completely gutted, and only the necessities make an appearance. There's a custom race steering wheel, simplified switchgear, and a new data logging system to help teams monitor performance. The suspension is all-new, too. The GT3 rides on six-way adjustable KW dampers and features a longer wheelbase and wider track than the outgoing Huracán GT3. In theory, that should give it more grip and better balance, especially through high-speed corners. It has some big shoes to fill, though. The Huracán GT3 won 96 titles in a racing career that spanned nearly a decade. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Lamborghini reveals new race-ready Temerario GT3
Lamborghini has pulled the wraps off a track-only version of its new Temerario supercar. Developed to compete in GT3 championships around the world, the new Temerario GT3 features a revised aluminium spaceframe chassis that's lighter and easier to service than the version used in the roadgoing model. Thanks to input from Squadra Corse, Lamborghini's motorsport division, the front and rear subframes are easily removable to allow snappier repairs during race weekends. To meet FIA safety regulations, a roll cage has been integrated into the central chassis structure, while the production car's hybrid system has been stripped out. Lamborghini Centro Stile worked with Squadra Corse to develop the race car's bodywork, which is made from lightweight carbon fibre composite. It's been aerodynamically optimised to boost cooling, increase downforce and reduce drag. Like the chassis, the bodywork has been engineered for rapid disassembly and reassembly, minimising time spent in the pits. The front and rear ends, for example, are each constructed from a single piece of composite material while the engine cover and bonnet have also been designed for rapid removal. Even the front lights are fitted with a quick-connect system to allow for fast replacement in the event of on-track contact. Another thoughtful tweak is the GT3 car's four-part aerodynamic undertray: the centre section can be swapped while the vehicle sits on its built-in air jacks. The refuelling system has also been redesigned to allow a faster flow rate, while the fuel tank has been reconfigured to accommodate a new sensor offering more accurate readings. With the hybrid system removed to comply with regulations, the Temerario GT3 is powered by a 4.0 l twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering 410kW (subject to balance of performance adjustments). The race spec motor features a flat-plane crankshaft, titanium conrods, a custom Capristo exhaust system and a redesigned airbox tailored for the GT3 spec turbochargers. Lamborghini says it has also recalibrated the engine for a broader, more usable rev range. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a new six-speed transverse gearbox. Image: Supplied Compared with the outgoing Huracán GT3, the Temerario GT3 rides on a longer wheelbase and has a wider track front and rear for enhanced cornering stability. It also features six-way adjustable KW dampers at all four corners and lightweight 18" Ronal wheels. Steering is handled by a custom hydraulic rack designed to optimise suspension geometry and driver feedback. Inside the stripped cockpit, there's an upgraded electronics suite, new switchgear with updated graphics, a more advanced data logger and a redesigned steering wheel shaped with input from Lamborghini factory and customer drivers. Lamborghini says the Temerario GT3 will make its competitive debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 2026.

Lamborghini Temerario GT3 unveiled, drops hybrid, adds racing upgrades. Check details
The Lamborghini Temerario GT3 ditches the hybrid system for turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine producing 550 bho intead of the 800 bhp in the Temerario Check Offers 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. Also Read : Lamborghini Urus EV delayed, plug-in hybrid to take the lead until 2029 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. Also Read : Lamborghini backs synthetic fuels to keep combustion engines alive beyond 2035 Bodywork focused on repairability and cooling 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. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2025, Best SUVs in India.

Ooh look, it's the Lamborghini Temerario GT3!
First Look Spy shot captures Lambo's V8 race car going for a little jog Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a lightly concealed spy shot of a camouflaged Italian racing car? Well, yes, it's that. This is a lightly concealed spy shot of a camouflaged Italian racing car: welcome to Lamborghini's upcoming Temerario GT3. Exciting, no? We do not know much about the Temerario GT3, only that it is a Lamborghini built for GT3, that it's a V8 racer and not a V10 (obvs), and that its older sibling has left a mighty big shadow. Advertisement - Page continues below Its predecessor, the Huracán GT3, won a whopping 96 titles and 187 races between 2015 and 2025, including three successive wins in the GTD class of the Daytona 24hrs, and successive 12hrs of Sebring wins. Overachievers huh. Annoying. Though, one suspects the Temerario's GT3 drivers won't really care. It'll likely be shorn of the triplet of electric motors that feature in the road car, which means there'll be a more manageable power figure on hand. The road car develops a stratospheric 907bhp, but GT3 regs will bring this down. You might like Along with the weight. You can expect this 'more comfortable' Temerario to be entirely less comfortable in race trim, and from this lightly concealed spy shot, you can also expect a new aerodynamics package and a mighty rear wing. Should sound fairly bananas too: the roadgoing car's V8 revs to an ear-splitting 10,000rpm and sends vibrations directly through the car's very bones to give the driver a thrill – what on earth will it send when it's free of electricity?
