The roar of a new-era Lamborghini racecar has officially joined the chorus of motorsport—and it is spectacular. At the season-ending World Finals event at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, Lamborghini Squadra Corse pulled the covers off its latest track weapon: the Temerario Super Trofeo.
Serving as the successor to the wildly successful Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, this new single-make machine marks a pivotal moment, leveraging the DNA of the new Temerario road car and its forthcoming GT3 sibling to create a pure, unadulterated racing experience.
A Pure Racing Evolution
While the road-going Temerario is a cutting-edge hybrid supercar, the Super Trofeo version strips away the complexities for the singular goal of speed. The Temerario Super Trofeo is a “pure racing evolution” designed for the brand’s popular one-make championship across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Key Performance Highlights:
- Engine: It utilizes a twin-turbocharged V8 engine—the same architecture as the GT3 model—but without the hybrid components found in the road car. This setup is specifically tuned for the rigors of the Super Trofeo series.
- Power: The Super Trofeo delivers 640 horsepower in its rear-wheel-drive configuration.
- Drivetrain: Power is managed by a six-speed sequential gearbox derived from the GT3 program, emphasizing durability and rapid-fire shifts.
- Chassis: The foundation is an aluminum/carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFK) hybrid chassis fitted with a fully integrated FIA roll cage, ensuring the highest level of safety and torsional rigidity.
This direct link between the GT3 and Super Trofeo cars is intentional. According to Lamborghini, it makes the Super Trofeo an “ideal entry point” for amateur and young professional drivers looking to hone their skills before progressing to the more demanding world of GT3 competition.
Aggressive Design Meets Aerodynamic Function
The aesthetic of the Super Trofeo is pure aggression. It takes the sharp, futuristic lines of the road-going Temerario and exaggerates them with a suite of track-focused aerodynamic additions. We see massive vents, an imposing fixed rear wing, and a sculpted diffuser—all necessary to produce the downforce needed for high-speed stability and razor-sharp cornering.
The design confirms Lamborghini’s commitment to creating a vehicle that is not only fast but also visually striking, carrying the brand’s unmistakable DNA onto the track.
Looking Ahead to the 2027 Season
The Temerario Super Trofeo was unveiled at the brand’s end-of-season spectacular, but fans will have to wait a little longer to see it in competition. The new racer is slated to make its competitive debut in the Super Trofeo series from 2027, succeeding the Huracán which will remain active until the end of the 2026 season.
This staggered rollout allows the GT3 version of the Temerario to take the spotlight first, with its highly anticipated global racing debut scheduled for the 2026 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
As Lamborghini continues to strengthen the bond with its most passionate clientele through its customer racing division, the Temerario Super Trofeo stands as a testament to the brand’s “fun-to-drive” philosophy and its strategic commitment to motorsport. Get ready for a thrilling new era of one-make racing!
