Lamborghini has introduced the Temerario Super Trofeo, the next chapter in its one-make racing series that has shaped the brand’s modern motorsport identity since 2009. Revealed at Misano World Circuit, the new race car marks a significant shift for Sant’Agata. It retires the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 that powered the Gallardo and Huracan generations and embraces a new philosophy built around a compact twin turbo V8 and pure rear wheel drive performance. This change is both technical and symbolic. It acknowledges the need for modern efficiency without sacrificing the raw driving engagement that defines Lamborghini competition cars.
Under its composite body, the Temerario Super Trofeo houses a 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 producing 650 horsepower. That figure places it above the related GT3 version, which is restricted to about 585 horsepower due to Balance of Performance rules. Without hybrid assistance and without all-wheel drive, the Super Trofeo is lighter, simpler, and more direct in behavior. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Hoer developed six speed sequential gearbox shared with the GT3 car. This makes the Super Trofeo a natural stepping stone for drivers who want to progress further into professional GT racing, learning the same powertrain and handling characteristics before moving up the ladder.
The chassis combines aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced components and is equipped with a fully integrated FIA compliant roll cage. Lamborghini has fitted a 12-stage adjustable traction control system with ABS, allowing teams and drivers to tune the car precisely for conditions and skill levels. The suspension setup is developed with KW, the exhaust comes from Capristo, and BMC supplies the air filters. These partnerships reflect the car’s purpose as a customer racing machine designed to be both fast and reliable over the course of an entire championship season.
Aerodynamics are notably more focused than the road going Temerario Stradale. A large rear wing, deep front splitter, and aggressive rear diffuser work together to generate downforce and stability. The design is more rational and streamlined compared to the outgoing Huracan Super Trofeo, avoiding overly theatrical elements in favor of clean surfaces and efficient airflow. Inside, the car debuts Dinamica Infinity, a 100 percent PES non-woven suede applied to the dashboard and introduced here for the first time in motorsport.
The Temerario Super Trofeo replaces the Huracan in the 2027 season and will race in Europe, North America, and Asia. More than a new model, it represents Lamborghini’s continued commitment to customer racing and to preserving the emotional essence of high-performance driving even as its road cars evolve toward electrification.
