Automobili Lamborghini has paused its IMSA GTP programme for the 2026 season, redirecting efforts towards GT3 and Super Trofeo platforms with the new Temerario race cars.

Lamborghini has decided to pause its IMSA GTP program for the 2026 season, shifting focus to its GT3 and Super Trofeo platforms. This decision comes as the company reassesses its motorsport strategy. Initially, the Hypercar/GTP project aimed to enhance Lamborghini's presence in endurance racing. However, evolving conditions have led to a strategic pivot.

The development of the Hypercar/GTP project encountered unexpected challenges. As the project progressed, both budgetary and technical demands exceeded initial expectations. Consequently, Lamborghini chose to concentrate on its GT3 and Super Trofeo platforms, which are crucial for maintaining performance excellence globally.

Lamborghini Pauses IMSA GTP Programme for 2026

The new Temerario GT3 and Temerario Super Trofeo models mark a significant shift for Lamborghini. These vehicles are being developed entirely in-house for the first time. The Temerario GT3 was unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2025 and is undergoing rigorous testing on European tracks.

Lamborghini plans to debut the Temerario GT3 at the 2026 12 Hours of Sebring, part of the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship. This model aims to surpass the success of its predecessor, the Huracán GT3, which has won 96 titles and 192 races worldwide.

The new Temerario Super Trofeo model is expected to be revealed by year-end. Lamborghini remains dedicated to motorsport as a core aspect of its brand identity. The company continues to explore future racing opportunities with enthusiasm and ambition.

Despite pausing the IMSA GTP program, Lamborghini's commitment to motorsport remains strong. The decision allows them to allocate resources more effectively towards platforms that align with their strategic goals.

Lamborghini's strategic realignment reflects a focus on sustaining its motorsport legacy while adapting to changing circumstances. By concentrating on GT3 and Super Trofeo platforms, they aim to deliver exceptional performance and maintain their competitive edge in global racing events.
