It took Lamborghini almost seven years to build 400 units of the Huracan racer. The milestone model was recently celebrated at the automaker’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, where it comes to life next to the brand’s street-legal cars.
Attending the event, alongside CTO Maurizio Reggiani, CMO Ranieri Niccoli, chief of motorsport Giorgio Sanna and several technicians, Lamborghini’s President and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, said that this achievement is “important not only for Squadra Corse, but for the whole company”.
“In a few years, Squadra Corse has established itself in the most important international competitions, and the Huracan GT3 and Super Trofeo are an undisputed point of reference in the Gran Turismo category”, the automaker’s head honcho added.
Review: The Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo Evo Is Absolutely Sensational
Unveiled in 2014, the Huracan Super Trofeo replaced the Gallardo as the Raging Bull’s official racer in their single-make championship in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. One year later, they introduced the Huracan GT3, which marked their entry into GT racing.
Together with its successor, the GT3 Evo, the Huracan GT3 won almost 100 races. Its achievements included three consecutive wins at the Daytona 24 Hours and two wins at the Sebring 12 Hours. Additionally, they scored a ‘triple crown’ of the GT World Challenge Europe two years ago.
Lamborghini’s Huracan GT3 Evo was raced by 24 different teams in 15 national and international championships in 2020. In total, these covered approximately 20,000 km (around 12,500 miles) and were put through their paces by 88 drivers.
