Lamborghini “Looking and Listening” to 2030 Top-Tier Regs

Lamborghini is keeping a close eye on developments in the Hypercar and GTP technical rules for 2030 as it evaluates a potential return to the prototype ranks after pausing its SC63 LMDh program last year. 

Recently appointed Lamborgini Squadra Corse boss Andrea Reggiani has revealed that the Italian manufacturer is “looking and listening very carefully to what will be the plans for the future, for 2030 onwards.”

“We have an open mind: we look at the regulations and what will be the situation, and then we will see if that will match with our interest,” said Reggiani. 

“We do not rule out the possibility; on the other hand there is nothing to be confirmed at the moment.”

His comments follow the confirmation by the FIA, the ACO and IMSA of a move towards a single platform for the Hypercar class in the FIA World Endurance Championship and GTP in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship last month at Le Mans.

The future direction will mandate a rear-axle hybrid system as per the LMDh rulebook to which Lamborghini’s SC63 that raced in 2024-25 was developed, while allowing the bespoke chassis and energy-retrieval technology currently allowed to Le Mans Hypercars. 

Reggiani wouldn’t be drawn on whether the SC63 program could be reactivated in the short-term, saying only that it remains on “stand-by.”

His only elaboration on comments by then-Lamborghini chief technical officer Rouven Mohr in January that there were as many as six teams interested in racing the SC63 either in the WEC or WeatherTech Championship was to reference this winter’s Asian Le Mans Series, which will incorporate a Hypercar class for lineups including a FIA Bronze-rated driver. 

“We have also received requests of interest related to the Asian LMS,” he said. 

But he insisted that no decisions had been made about a return to the race track by the SC63, which was developed in conjunction with Ligier Automotive. 

“It’s all ongoing discussion; I do not know at the moment what will be the final decision,” he explained. 

“If there are opportunities that fit our idea on how the program should progress, we would consider it, but at the moment nothing is confirmed.”

Mohr, who was the acting motorsport boss at Lamborghini from March 2024 to March 2026, although sandwiched by a 12-month stint by Maurizio Leschiutta, made it clear any team taking up the SC63 would be required to provide a major share of the funding. 

He also stressed the need for Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s technical resources to be focussed on development of the Temerario GT3 in its maiden year of competition in 2026 and bringing the Super Trofeo one-make version of the car to the grid in 2027. 

Reggiani returned to that topic when discussing the LMDh program during the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa weekend late last month.

He described Squadra Corse as “stretched to the limit” at the moment as it gears up to build 100 new Super Trofeo racers and expand its roster of Temerario GT3s for next year.

The SC63 has not raced since the end of its campaign in the five Michelin Endurance Cup IMSA races in 2025 with a solo car run under the factory banner by Riley Motorsports. 

It had already been announced in August that the program would be paused on the completion of the season. 

It followed Lamborghini’s decision to focus on North America, its biggest road car market, and withdraw from the WEC for 2025 at a time when it would have been forced by new Hypercar sporting rules to run two cars rather than one.
