Motorsport
GT3
Lamborghini developed a GT3 racing version of the Temerario, built to Group GT3 regulations. It is the company's first to be entirely designed, developed and built by Lamborghini. This car made its race debut in 2026, and replaces the Huracán GT3 Evo 2 as Lamborghini's main GT3 racecar. It uses the same twin-turbo V8 as the street car, but without electric motors, as these are not allowed in GT3 racing. The car made its first competitive start at the 2026 12 Hours of Sebring, finishing 10th in the GTD Pro class after completing 320 laps. Two cars were entered in the 2026 24 Hours of Spa, the first 24-hour race for the new car. The #63 Grasser Racing Team car retired after 144 laps whereas the Rutronik Racing #96 car finished 19th overall after completing 537 laps.
Andrea Caldarelli and Sandy Mitchell took the first IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship class victory for the Temerario, winning the GTD Pro category driving for Pfaff Motorsports at the Road America six-hour endurance round. Marco Mapelli and Mirko Bortolotti had each won individually with the car earlier in the 2026 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters; however, both drivers received infractions, the former penalized and the latter disqualified, and lost their respective wins following post-race inspections.
Super Trofeo Lamborghini unveiled the Super Trofeo in August 2025 with plans to introduce a Super Trofeo version of the Temerario in 2027, replacing the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2.
