Lamborghini Has “Ambition” for All-Temerario Grids in 2027

Lamborghini’s interim motorsport boss Rouven Mohr says it’s their “ambition” to have full grids of Temerario Super Trofeo race cars in all three of its single-make series when the car debuts in 2027.

The Italian manufacturer, which is set to roll out with its first all-new Super Trofeo car since 2015, is hoping to be able to produce enough of the V8 twin-turbo-powered models for its European, North America and Asia-based single-make championships.

It would mean production of roughly 100 cars when factoring in current grids and customer interest.

“This is our ambition and still a bit of a question mark, at the moment is to have every championship with full lineup of Temerario Super Trofeos,” Mohr told Sportscar365 in late January, prior to news of his appointment as chief technical officer of sister brand Audi.

“If we then detect it’s not possible based on issues we detect during the testing, then we make a cascading regarding the championships.”

While Lamborghini split the grid in its first year of the Huracan while permitting the outgoing Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo to still race, both Mohr and Lamborghini’s coordinator of race car events Federica Teneggi both stressed this would be a last-resort measure.

“This we don’t want,” added Mohr, who said the target is to have 35-40 new cars for Europe, around 35 for North America and 25 for Asia.

“The demand on the Temerario is amazing,” said Mohr. “We will even have a tough time to fulfill all the requests [for Super Trofeo and GT3]. We’re in a good moment.

“Some of the other new cars are not still there. It’s a good period.”

Received requests from private clients that want to race.

Mohr said it hasn’t been decided what the hierarchy would be if Squadra Corse is unable to supply Temerario Super Trofeos to all three series at launch.

“We haven’t decided,” he said. “It depends a little bit on when the car will be finished, how long does it take to ship, all the things.

“But it’s clear all the markets are important for us, especially the U.S. The U.S. is our biggest single market. In this, I would not do a prioritization.

“The target should be to fulfill all of the requests then let’s see.”

Mohr, meanwhile, has provided further updates on the car, which was revealed in last November’s World Finals event.

“The theoretical development is closed,” he said. “We are now starting building up the first cars. The test program will start in May.

“It will share a lot of components, including the gearbox, with the GT3.

“In the previous generation, the cars were further apart from each other. For sure in the Super Trofeo, we even took more care about the drivability and also for sure on the technical complexity.

“It’s clear that the Temerario, it was necessary to do a big step because our GT3 car was one generation older than the others, at least.

“The GT3, we wanted to raise the bar a lot, and the Super Trofeo, for sure, we wanted to have a synergetic approach but also managing the costs for the teams.

“It’s clear that running coats are make or break in Super Trofeo.”
