Lamborghini Huracan: last dance in GT series

End of an era?

The Lamborghini Temerario is set to replace a car that, for years, has been a true contender in both sprint and endurance Gran Turismo racing: the Lamborghini Huracán. The iconic naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, which thrilled fans with its spine-tingling howl at full throttle on circuits around the world, will now be retired. It was one of the last remaining GT cars to still use a naturally aspirated engine. Yet another high-revving masterpiece forced to hang up its pistons and make way for advancing Italian technology—the new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8.

Since its debut in motorsport, the Huracán—born in Sant’Agata Bolognese—has racked up a long list of victories. The Lamborghini Huracán made a major impact in the GT racing world, standing out in both international GT3 championships and the one-make Super Trofeo series. Let’s take a look back at its remarkable journey.

Lamborghini Huracan GT3, what a monster!

To present it in full before diving into the championships it took part in and the victories it achieved across the global GT scene, here are some of the main technical features of the latest evolution of the Huracán—the Evo2:

• Engine: Naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10, derived from the road-going Huracán, with dry sump lubrication
• Power: Approximately 500–550 hp (regulated by FIA Balance of Performance)
• Gearbox: X-Trac 6-speed sequential transmission, with paddle shifters
• Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
• Chassis: Aluminum and carbon fiber monocoque
• Aerodynamics: Completely revised in the EVO2 version, featuring a new front splitter, rear diffuser, and adjustable rear wing
• Brakes: Brembo racing system with ventilated discs
• Weight: Around 1230 kg (varies with BoP)
• Electronics: Bosch Motorsport ECU, with racing ABS and traction control

Naturally, the car was homologated for all the main GT3 series worldwide.

Huracan’s GT3

Do you think this model had an easy life? Well, if you do, you’re seriously mistaken — over the years, it had to go head-to-head with fierce rivals like the Ferrari 488, the Mercedes-AMG GT, the BMW M6 GT3, and in America, the much more powerful M8.

• 96 titles across various competitions.
• 187 wins in international races.
• 3 consecutive GTD class victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona.
• 2 consecutive wins at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2018 and 2019.
• 150th GT3 victory achieved in 2023 with Mirko Bortolotti in the DTM at Nürburgring.
• Proven reliability and competitiveness in series such as the Blancpain GT Series, British GT Championship, and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

🏁 Super Trofeo Lamborghini Championschip

The Lamborghini Super Trofeo is a one-make series held across different regions, where Trofeo versions compete—cars that are slightly closer to their road-going counterparts compared to their GT World Championship siblings. They generally record lap times a few seconds slower due to less advanced aerodynamics, but they make up for it with more horsepower thanks to more permissive air restrictors and intake flanges. What most affects performance, however, is the setup, which is much less customizable and closer to that of the everyday Huracán.

• Europe (since 2009)
• Asia (since 2012)
• North America (since 2013)
• Middle East (2017–2019, resumed in 2022)
• Each season culminates with the World Final, where the best drivers from the continental series compete for the global title.

L’evoluzione del modello Huracan

• Huracán GT3 Evo: Introduced in 2019, it brought aerodynamic and mechanical improvements over the original version.
• GT3 Evo 2: Debuted in 2023, featuring further updates to maintain competitiveness in GT3 championships.
• Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2: Since 2022, it has been the sole car used in the Super Trofeo series, with optimized design and aerodynamics.

Goodbye Huracan, and thanks for the show

The Lamborghini Huracán, with nearly 100 championship wins and over 180 race victories, has been an icon in the GT3 world and Super Trofeo competitions for almost a decade. It has brought the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand to the forefront of endurance racing, proving to be fast, reliable, and victorious across the globe. With the arrival of the new Temerario GT3 project, an extraordinary chapter in Lamborghini’s history comes to a close, opening a new one aimed at surpassing the sporting and commercial achievements of the Huracán.
