Sant’Agata Bolognese, 4 August 2025 – Automobili Lamborghini has announced a strategic realignment of its motorsport activities, with the decision to place the IMSA GTP program on hold for the 2026 season.

Initially conceived as a natural evolution of Lamborghini’s successful customer racing platform, the Hypercar/GTP project was launched with the ambition of further expanding the brand’s presence in top-tier endurance racing. The program was designed to ensure global visibility through the presence of a hybrid racing car in each of the two championships where this class is admitted. However, the conditions on which the program was based have significantly changed. As the project developed, resource demands – both in terms of budget and technical complexity have grown beyond original projections.

Given this context, Lamborghini has made the strategic decision to refocus its efforts and investments on the GT3 platform and Super Trofeo, which remain the cornerstones of the brand’s motorsport activities and a key pillar in delivering performance excellence to its customers around the world.

The Temerario GT3 was officially unveiled in July 2025 during the Goodwood Festival of Speed and is currently undergoing an advanced phase of development through a series of tests on European circuits. Its official debut is scheduled for the 2026 12 Hours of Sebring, part of the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship. The Temerario GT3 project aims to surpass both the sporting and commercial success the of the Huracán GT3, which has so far achieved 96 titles and 192 race victories worldwide. The new Temerario Super Trofeo model, meanwhile, is set to be revealed by the end of the year.
