Lamborghini Squadra Corse: The Racing Heart of the Raging Bull
When most people think of Lamborghini, they immediately picture iconic supercars from the Miura, Countach and Diablo the like the Murcielago, Huracán, Aventador, or the new Revuelto and Temerario roaring down the road. Yet behind Lamborghini’s famous road cars is something even more exciting: Squadra Corse, the racing arm that transforms the brand’s passion into true competition.
Born from Racing DNA
Founded in 2013, Squadra Corse (which translates to "Racing Team" in Italian) represents Lamborghini's formal return to organized motorsport after years of focusing primarily on road cars. While Lamborghini had dabbled in racing throughout its history with customer teams campaigning various models, Squadra Corse marked the company's commitment to developing purpose-built racing machines and supporting a global motorsport ecosystem.
The division operates from Sant'Agata Bolognese, the same hallowed ground where every Lamborghini road car is born. But here, the focus shifts from luxury and exclusivity to aerodynamics, lap times, and podium finishes.
The Racing Portfolio
Squadra Corse's crown jewel is undoubtedly the Huracán GT3 EVO2, the latest evolution of Lamborghini's customer racing program. This track-focused predator competes in GT3 championships worldwide, from the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship in North America to the GT World Challenge in Europe and Asia. With its naturally aspirated V10 engine producing around 580 horsepower, advanced aerodynamics, and a chassis refined through countless hours of testing, the GT3 EVO2 has proven itself a formidable competitor.
For those looking for a more accessible way into Lamborghini’s racing world, the Huracán Super Trofeo series is the perfect gateway. Since 2009, this one-make championship has given amateur and semi-professional drivers the opportunity to compete in identical Lamborghinis on some of the world’s most iconic circuits. The latest Super Trofeo EVO2, producing 620 horsepower, serves as both a fiercely competitive race car and a key platform for driver development.
The Ultimate Expression: SC63
In 2024, Lamborghini made headlines by unveiling the SC63, their LMDh (Le Mans Daytona hybrid) prototype destined for top-tier endurance racing. This marks Lamborghini’s most ambitious motorsport venture yet. A full-scale return to prototype racing and a bold push to fight for outright wins at legendary events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona.
The SC63 combines a twin turbocharged V8 engine with hybrid technology, marking a significant departure from Lamborghini's traditional naturally aspirated philosophy. It's a statement of intent: Lamborghini isn't content to dominate GT racing alone. They want to fight for overall honours against the biggest names in motorsport.
More Than Just Racing
What sets Squadra Corse apart is its holistic approach to motorsports. Beyond building racing cars, the division has created a complete ecosystem that includes:
- Driver development programs that nurture talent from young drivers to seasoned professionals
- Technical support for customer teams competing worldwide
- Exclusive track experiences like the Super Trofeo World Finals, where regional champions compete for global supremacy
- The Lamborghini Esperienza program, offering customers driving experiences that channel the racing spirit
The Philosophy
At its core, Squadra Corse embodies the same rebellious spirit that Ferruccio Lamborghini brought to the automotive world in 1963. While other manufacturers might approach racing as a pure marketing exercise or a means of heritage preservation, Lamborghini tackles it with the same audacious attitude that created the Miura, the Countach, and the Murciélago.
Racing development also plays a crucial role in shaping Lamborghini’s road cars. Innovations tested and perfected on the track, whether advanced aerodynamics or lightweight materials, ultimately make their way into the supercars customers drive on the road.
Looking Ahead
As motorsport evolves with new regulations, hybrid technologies, and sustainability initiatives, Squadra Corse continues to adapt while staying true to Lamborghini's essence. The success of their GT3 program, the expansion of Super Trofeo racing, and the bold step into prototype competition with the SC63 demonstrate that the raging bull isn't slowing down.
For 2026 and 2027 the world is eagerly anticipating the Temerario to take the torch from the mighty Huracan.
XXXXXXX With Lamborghini already confirming the next chapter, the Temerario is set to take over from the Huracán in competition, debuting as a GT3 challenger in 2026 and joining the Super Trofeo one-make series in 2027. It marks the beginning of a new era for Lamborghini’s racing future.
For enthusiasts, Squadra Corse represents something increasingly rare in modern motorsport: a manufacturer willing to take risks, embrace innovation, and compete with the same uncompromising attitude that defines their road cars. Whether you’re watching a Huracán GT3 battle through Eau Rouge at Spa, experiencing the thunder of a Super Trofeo grid at Daytona, or witnessing the SC63 prototype charge through the night at Le Mans, one thing is clear: Lamborghini's racing heart beats as fiercely as ever!
