The Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo Ends the Huracán Era at Imola

The Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo arrived at Imola on May 11, 2026, and with it the closing chapter on more than a decade of Huracán-platform customer racing at Sant’Agata Bolognese. Unveiled during the second edition of Lamborghini Arena, the new car will replace the Huracán Super Trofeo across all three continental one-make championships — Asia, Europe, and North America — from the 2027 season onward.

Lamborghini Factory Driver Marco Mapelli put the Temerario Super Trofeo through its paces between the Sunday races of the European championship’s second round, just 75 kilometers from Sant’Agata. The reveal carries more weight than a typical race-car launch: this is the first turbocharged car in Super Trofeo history, and the first built end-to-end by Squadra Corse itself.

Inside the Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo: A New Era for Squadra Corse

The Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo is significant beyond its specification sheet. Until now, Lamborghini’s customer racing program has been an exercise in clever integration — Squadra Corse engineering exceptional race cars around Audi-derived hardware and supplier components. The Temerario program changes the math. It is the first Lamborghini race car built entirely in-house, and Stephan Winkelmann has positioned that decision as a long-term commitment to motorsport as a core pillar of the brand rather than a marketing exercise.

The Huracán Super Trofeo lineage being closed out here is substantial. Introduced in 2015, the Huracán Super Trofeo evolved twice — once in 2019, again in 2022 — and became the benchmark spec-series car for serious gentleman drivers and aspiring professional racers. The current Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 will run out the 2026 season; from next year, the Temerario Super Trofeo takes the grid in all three continental championships simultaneously.

Andrea Reggiani, Lamborghini’s Head of Motorsport, has framed the engineering brief in straightforward terms: a car friendly to a wide range of driver skill levels, built on shared DNA with the Temerario GT3 that debuted at Sebring in March. The gearbox and braking systems are common between the two cars. The differentiators — turbochargers shared with the road-going Temerario, KW Automotive 2-way adjustable dampers — keep the Super Trofeo tuned for its specific use case.

Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo Specs and Engineering

At the heart of the Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo sits a twin-turbocharged V8 producing 650 CV at 7,000 rpm and 650 Nm of torque. The output figures matter less than the architectural shift: Super Trofeo has been a naturally-aspirated formula for its entire history. Turbocharging changes how the car builds boost, how it responds mid-corner, and how teams will set up their cars from one circuit to the next.

The driveline runs a Hoer sequential six-speed gearbox to the rear wheels — the same Hoer unit found in the Temerario GT3. Dry weight comes in at 1,392 kg, with a hybrid aluminum and CFRP chassis built around an integrated FIA roll cage. The suspension is all-new in concept, with front and rear double wishbones replacing the suspension architecture inherited from the Huracán generation.

Aerodynamics have been redesigned for efficiency across the full Super Trofeo calendar of circuit configurations, with a rear fin added for cornering stability. The Temerario Super Trofeo also runs electro-hydraulic power steering with adjustable feedback — a meaningful detail for endurance-style stints where steering effort accumulates over a 50-minute race window.

Lamborghini Arena 2026 at Imola: Where the Temerario Super Trofeo Debuted

The Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo could have been unveiled anywhere on the calendar. The choice of Lamborghini Arena, in its second edition at Imola, was deliberate. Imola sits 75 kilometers from Sant’Agata Bolognese, and the event brought more than 400 Lamborghini road cars to the paddock for parades, displays, and customer activations.

The Polo Storico contingent rounded out the experience, with some of the most significant historic Lamborghinis on display alongside the current model lineup. The Arena event ran in parallel with Round 2 of the European Super Trofeo championship — free practice and qualifying on Saturday, two 50-minute races on Sunday — with the Temerario Super Trofeo reveal slotted between the Sunday sessions. Round 3 of the European championship heads to Spa-Francorchamps next month.

The presence of Roger Dubuis branding across the press fleet — windscreen banners, sponsor visors, and prominent placement throughout the livery — is worth noting. Lamborghini’s partnership with the Swiss watchmaker has produced some of the more interesting motorsport-driven horology of the past decade, and the Temerario Super Trofeo extends that relationship into the next generation of customer racing.

Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo Price and Availability

The Lamborghini Temerario Super Trofeo is priced at €295,000 plus VAT and duties in Europe, $399,000 plus applicable taxes in the United States, and €299,000 plus VAT and duties in the Asia-Pacific region. All pricing includes shipping. For context, that is roughly the cost of two new Temerario road cars — exactly where customer-racing entry pricing should sit relative to its road-going siblings.

The buyer profile is the same as it has always been for Super Trofeo: privateer teams, gentleman drivers stepping up from track days, and emerging professionals working toward GT3 or full factory programs. What changes from 2027 is the platform underneath them. Where the Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster closed the V12 few-off era last week, the Temerario Super Trofeo opens the next chapter of how Lamborghini races at customer level. Twin-turbo V8, in-house build, three continents, one platform.
