Lamborghini’s New Supercar Is Going Racing

The Lamborghini lineup is never complete without a selection of race cars, and the automaker has introduced the first one based on the new Temerario. The Temerario GT3 ditches the hybrid system, due to regulations, and features an assortment of upgrades that turn it into a lighter, tougher racing machine.

A twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 continues to power the car, but it makes 550 horsepower instead of the 800 that it delivers in the road car. The engine features a redesigned airbox, necessary for the new, smaller turbochargers, titanium connecting rods, and a new calibration that broadened the max power across the rev range.

Repairability is one of the car’s defining features. Lamborghini designed it to allow mechanics to quickly replace an assortment of body panels, suspension parts, and other components in the pits.

The lack of the hybrid system resulted in Lamborghini modifying the aluminum spaceframe chassis. The automaker simplified the design, with the rear engineered to accommodate the new six-speed transverse gearbox.

The GT3 also wears new carbon composite bodywork that tries to maintain the Temerario’s styling while improving the car’s aerodynamic and cooling capabilities, including the brakes, radiators, and turbochargers. The front and rear ends are each constructed as a single piece, and the floor comes in four separate parts, all of which are designed to make repairs easier.

The Temerario race car has a fully integrated roll cage, improved fuel flow into the tank, six-way KW dampers, a hydraulic steering rack, and 18-inch Ronal AG wheels. The car is still in development and won’t make its racing debut until the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 2026, so we’ll have to wait to see the new Temerario GT3 in action.
