Key Takeaways

Lamborghini's finally teased its next GT3 weapon.

The Temerario GT3 breaks cover with a scheduled debut at Daytona in 2026, officially ending the Huracan's reign as the marque's GT3 platform.

The Bull Evolves

Lamborghini's acting motorsport boss Rouven Mohr pulled back the curtain on the Temerario GT3 in late 2024, confirming track testing begins in early 2025.

A decade. That's how long the Huracan GT3 has dominated Lamborghini's racing efforts since its 2015 introduction.

The Temerario inherits a legacy of Evo updates and race victories, but ditches the familiar formula entirely.

V8 Power, Hold the Hybrid

The road-going Temerario packs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with hybrid assistance.

The GT3 version? Pure internal combustion.

Racing regulations demanded Lamborghini strip away the hybrid components for the competition model. No electric motors. No battery packs. Just unadulterated combustion fury aimed squarely at checkered flags.

Racing Pedigree in Progress

Lamborghini isn't rushing this bull into the arena.

Development begins with early 2025 testing sessions, giving engineers a full year to refine the package before its competitive debut.

The timeline suggests a methodical approach:

  • Initial track testing through 2025
  • Competition debut at Daytona in 2026
  • Progressive rollout to customer teams thereafter

The Temerario name itself—Italian for "reckless" or "daring"—signals Lamborghini's aggressive intentions for its next-generation racer.

Daytona 2026 marks the beginning of a new era. The iconic Florida circuit will host the first competitive outing for the Temerario GT3, launching Lamborghini's latest bid for endurance racing dominance.

The Huracan GT3 set a high bar with its multiple victories across global GT3 competition. Its successor now faces the pressure of not just matching that performance, but surpassing it.

Racing improves the breed. The Temerario GT3 represents the cutting edge of Lamborghini's competition technology, stripped of electrification but retaining the soul of the raging bull.
