The Temerario GT3 has been designed with the end user in mind. Everything has been considered, from the efficiency of the aerodynamics to the power curve to the way in which the team is able to operate the car. The car operates in a slightly different area of the performance windows, that are used to balance the cars of different configuration, compared to its predecessor. We are confident that it will be competitive in terms of lap time, while also rewarding to drive in a wide range of conditions, including at night and in the rain. The development team has worked hard to ensure the car has a wide operating window, and that the teams are better able to work on it

From the Start
The company knew that it was going to build a Lamborghini Temerario GT3 from the get-go. As a result the car was designed with competition in mind. The racer has an adapted version of the aluminum spaceframe, specifically modified to meet the structural and serviceability requirements of racing.
All aspects of the Temerario GT3 have been carefully optimized for competition while the design team has also retained the essence of the production car. The project draws on the experience of Lamborghini’s motorsport department with the Huracán GT3, which has achieved 96 titles worldwide in GT3 competitions over the past ten years.

No More Hybrid
The Lamborghini Temerario GT3 is powered by the same 4,0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine as the Temerario road car. Special attention has been paid to the forced induction system. Redesigned turbocharging components were necessary comply with GT3 regulations.
The racecar has no hybrid component. As a result power drops from the road-car’s 677 kW to about 410 kW, depending on Balance of Performance (BoP) as mandated by different series around the world. The racecar retains race-derived items that the road car already has. These include the flat-plane crankshaft and Titanium conrods. The twin-turbo V8 is paired with a six-speed transverse gearbox.
