Why Lamborghini Removed the Hybrid from the Temerario GT3

Lamborghini is diving back into motorsport with a machine built purely for the track—the new Temerario GT3. Unlike its road-going sibling, this race-ready version drops the hybrid setup entirely. That is not a bug—it is by regulation. Without the hybrid hardware, Lamborghini had the opportunity to make this car lighter, simpler, and easier to service under pressure.

At the heart of the GT3 is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, detuned from 800 horsepower to 550 to meet racing standards. But this is not just a basic power cut. Lamborghini gave the engine a new airbox, swapped in smaller turbochargers, added titanium connecting rods, and recalibrated the engine so power is more accessible across the rev range.

This car is not just built to race—it is built to be repaired fast. The aluminum spaceframe has been reworked with a simplified rear end to accommodate a six-speed transverse gearbox. Carbon composite bodywork helps reduce weight and improve aerodynamics, and large sections of the car like the front and rear ends are designed as single pieces for quick replacement during races.

Cooling systems for the brakes, radiators, and turbochargers also get a major upgrade. The car rides on 18-inch Ronal AG wheels, includes six-way adjustable KW dampers, a hydraulic steering rack, and an integrated roll cage. Lamborghini even optimized fuel flow into the tank.

The Temerario GT3 is still in development, but it is set to debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 2026. Until then, fans will be eagerly waiting for a glimpse of what this beast can do on the track.
