Lamborghini is introducing the Lamborghini Temerario as the new super sportscar, becoming a replacement for the Huracán. This car will become the base for the succeeding GT3 racer and the one-make Super Trofeo. Slated to make its racing debut in 2026, the Temerario promises very high performance and a hybrid twist.

Lamborghini, an Italian luxury sports car manufacturer famous for ostentatious sports cars, has announced a new addition to the series: the Lamborghini Temerario. This is going to be a Huracan successor, applied on the street and the track. Having been just unveiled in Monterey, California, this new car is making waves in the car community.

It's not just any production car, but instead, it's the next thing that will happen in Lamborghini's racing lineup. This new beast will replace the Huracan GT3 EVO2, currently flying the Lamborghini flag in GT3 racing; also, it will replace the Super Trofeo EVO2, the single-make car used in their one-make series. These brand-new race versions of the Temerario will start racing in 2026 with a new look and advanced technology.

What truly makes this Temerario special is that it is a hybrid. It runs on gas and electricity to power the car. The Temerario also packs an incredibly potent engine, rating just over 900 horsepower. However, it will be quite different with the racing variant of the Temerario. It won't make use of the three electric motors found in the road-going variant and will be two-wheel drive, in compliance with its racing category.

According to Lamborghini's chief technical officer and acting motorsport boss, Rouven Mohr, "The racing version is going to be a lot more simple. The hybrid technology would not be fitting for a one-make type of car as the Temerario Super Trofeo. It's going to be a little too complicated and might restrain customer choice. We think we need to make a car that's really easy for any racing team to use and manage.

The Temerario, just like Lamborghini's LMDh racing prototype, will have a twin-turbo V8 engine. However, Mohr was keen to point out that this is not the same unit as in the LMDh. This road type Temerario uses a 4-liter V8 peaking at 790 bhp and revving at up to 10,000 rpm. This mill will be detuned for the GT3 variant, and Mohr sort of indicated that they may have to detune the engine's output to meet GT3 specifications that cap at about 520-530 bhp.

Testing for the Temerario GT3 will start next year. Testing is a key phase of tweaking the vehicle before it is launched to customers for the 2026 racing season. The Super Trofeo version will make its debut a year later, in part because the company needs to produce a good quantity of these vehicles.

The Temerario will replace the Lamborghini Huracan, the very first race car developed for racing by the in-house racing team of the company, Lamborghini Squadra Corse. In fact, customers began using the Huracan GT3 back in 2015. Over the years, it first evolved with the EVO in 2019 and then with the EVO2 in 2023.

The new Lamborghini Temerario is a quantum jump toward further developing Lamborghini's racing division. Equipped with hybrid technology and an extremely powerful engine, it is likely to set new standards in the racing world. Now racing teams and fans look forward to the day it will finally hit the track to show what this new super sportscar is capable of.

As Lamborghini never stops impressing and pushing further the boundaries of automotive technology, the Temerario will stand out in this instance for the commitment of the company toward high performance and sharp, cutting-edge design. Note this very exciting new addition into Lamborghini's lineup as it gears up to make a big impact in the racing world!
