Lamborghini on July 11 (Reuters) - Britain's first ever GT3 racecar based on Temerario GT3 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The model has a special meaning in that it is the brand's first race-only vehicle to carry out the entire process from design to development and production directly at the headquarters of Santa Gata Bologna.
The Temerario GT3 is a vehicle developed with motorsport derivatives in mind from the beginning of the design of the brand's second High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) super sports car, and is a next-generation GT3 race car that combines Lamborghini's racing skills and know-how.
Based on the existing Temerario's aluminum space frame chassis, the vehicle has undergone lightweight and structural improvements tailored to the race environment. The powertrain is built around a 4.0L V8 twin turbo engine, removing the hybrid system in accordance with GT3 race regulations and redesigning turbocharger components to provide optimized performance for the track environment.
The exterior design, completed through collaboration between Lamborghini's motorsport division, Squadra Corse and design center Centro Stile, is designed to maximize airflow, cooling performance, and downforce efficiency while maintaining a strong identity unique to Lamborghini. The body is made of carbon composite material to reduce weight, and the front and rear body parts are configured in a modular structure in consideration of rapid repair and maintenance at the race site, enabling rapid attachment and detachment.
The interior was developed based on feedback from Lamborghini Factory drivers Marco Mapelli and Andrea Caldarelli, with an ergonomic design that maximizes ease of operation during the race and a new user interface.
"The Temerario GT3 is the first racing derivative of the Temerario project, symbolizing Lamborghini's belief and philosophy in motorsport," said Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "After the success of the URACAN GT3 project, we had racing derivatives in mind from the beginning of the development of the Temerario, and the Temerario GT3 will set new standards in the global GT3 stage in the future."
"The Temerario GT3 is designed to take into account the race site in all aspects, including aerodynamic efficiency, power band, and ease of maintenance," said Rouven Mohr, Chief Technology Officer of Lamborghini. "It was developed to provide consistent performance in various circuit environments and conditions through a wider operating range than before, and the driving sense has also improved."
Temerario GT3 has begun full-fledged race preparations ahead of its debut on the GT3 stage, and will make its debut through the U.S. Sebring 12 Hours in 2026. Lamborghini also plans to continue technical support for existing Uracan GT3 teams so that customer teams in the transition period can smoothly transition to Temerario GT3.
