LAMBORGHINI TEMERARIO GT3 DEBUTS AT SEBRING WITH 550 HP AND NO HYBRID

By Chief Editor | 3/17/2026

The Lamborghini Temerario GT3 debuts at the 2026 12 Hours of Sebring as the brand's first race car built entirely in house at Sant'Agata Bolognese. It uses a 550 HP twin turbo V8 with the hybrid system removed.

Key Points

## Sant'Agata's New Factory Floor Lamborghini's Temerario GT3 makes its competitive debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 2026, and it arrives with a distinction no previous Lamborghini race car can claim: it was entirely designed, developed, and produced in house at Sant'Agata Bolognese. Every Huracán GT3, the car it replaces, relied on external motorsport partners for construction. The Temerario GT3 is Lamborghini's declaration that it can build a competitive GT3 car from its own factory floor. ## The Engine Without the Hybrid The road going Temerario runs a 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 paired with a hybrid system. The GT3 version strips the hybrid entirely, leaving a race tuned version of the same V8 producing approximately 550 horsepower under Balance of Performance regulations. The turbochargers are race specific. The airbox has been redesigned. The engine calibration prioritizes a broader rev range over peak output. Power reaches the rear wheels through a six speed transverse gearbox. The entire powertrain is accessible from the rear of the car, and both the front and rear subframes detach for quick repairs during endurance events. ## The Chassis and Aero Package The aluminum space frame chassis comes directly from the production line, adapted with an integrated roll cage and extensive weight reduction. The body panels are carbon composite. The wheelbase is longer than the Huracán GT3, and the track is wider, which Lamborghini says improves cornering stability at the high speed sections of circuits like Sebring's back straight. Six way dampers from KW Automotive replace the standard setup. Ronal supplies 18 inch wheels. The Capristo exhaust system delivers the sound that Lamborghini considers as critical to the brand identity as the aerodynamics. ## Who Races It First Pfaff Motorsports campaigns the Temerario GT3 in the GTD Pro category at Sebring with factory drivers Andrea Caldarelli, Sandy Mitchell, and Franck Perera. Grasser Racing Team, VSR, Rutronik Racing, and ABT Sportline are expected to field the car in GT World Challenge Europe and DTM through the 2026 season. The Huracán GT3 won the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring, and multiple GT World Challenge titles during its 11 year career. The Temerario inherits that legacy with a benchmark to clear. ## Temperature Read The Temerario GT3 matters because it proves Lamborghini can do something that even Ferrari and Porsche outsource: build a race car entirely under one roof. The hybrid deletion is smart; GT3 regulations do not reward electrification, and the weight savings improve competitiveness. Sebring will answer the only question that matters: does the car win?
