Lamborghini’s racing arm, Squadra Corse, is moving fast—very fast. Barely weeks after unveiling the track-focused Temerario GT3, the Italians have pulled the covers off its one-make sibling, the Temerario Super Trofeo, slated to storm global circuits in 2027.
And while Lamborghini’s road cars are increasingly hybridized to meet tightening emissions standards, the race cars remain gloriously unfiltered. The Temerario Super Trofeo sticks to pure internal combustion—no electric motors, no batteries, just a twin-turbo V8 screaming behind the driver’s seat.
A New Era Without Losing the Old Fire
This new Super Trofeo replaces the Huracán-based model that’s been thrilling fans (and punishing tires) since 2014. Gone is the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 that became a hallmark of Lamborghini’s racing soundtrack. In its place: a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, derived from the same powerplant found in the road-going Temerario, but tuned for competition and capped at 650 horsepower per class regulations—down from the engine’s road-legal 800-hp potential.
The exhaust, developed by Capristo, promises to turn every full-throttle burst into a thunderclap. Meanwhile, KW supplies the adjustable suspension hardware, ensuring the new car can carve through corners with precision and fury.
Built for the Track, Not the Street
Unlike the road-going Temerario, which uses an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Super Trofeo sends its power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed sequential gearbox—a mechanical, no-nonsense setup designed for the crucible of competition. Every gearshift will be an event, not a whisper.
The aerodynamic redesign is equally serious. Every panel has been reconsidered with one mission in mind: downforce. Expect an aggressive front splitter, reprofiled side intakes, and a massive rear wing—all tuned to keep the Temerario Super Trofeo glued to the tarmac under extreme G-loads. Drivers will also have access to a multi-level traction control system, offering fine-tuned adjustability for varying grip conditions.
Safety Meets Spectacle
Interior shots haven’t been released yet, but Lamborghini confirms that the cockpit meets the latest FIA safety standards, complete with an integrated roll cage and fire suppression system. This is, after all, a car designed for a one-make championship where amateurs and pros alike will push it to the edge.
The Legacy Continues
Since 2009, Lamborghini’s Super Trofeo series has become a proving ground for gentleman drivers and rising stars alike, evolving through the Gallardo and Huracán generations. The Temerario Super Trofeo is set to continue that legacy, bringing a fresh design language and a new powertrain philosophy without abandoning the visceral thrill that defines the brand’s racing DNA.
The car’s full competition debut is still a couple of seasons away, but one thing’s certain: when it hits the track in 2027, the noise—and the spectacle—will be anything but hybrid.
