This is a brand new, unused Lamborghini Huracan GT3 V10 engine, capable of 580 bhp once it’s bolted into a car and plumbed in.
The Huracan GT3 was the first GT3 car ever developed in-house at Lamborghini, and it quickly became one of the most successful GT3s of its age, with over 200 race wins and almost 100 championships under its belt.

History Speedrun: The Lamborghini Huracan GT3
Lamborghini built its 20,000th Huracan in 2022 eight years after it had replaced the earlier Gallardo, which had needed a decade on the market to reach 14,022 units sold. The original Huracan LP 610-4 was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 2014. It had an aluminum and carbon fiber hybrid chassis, a 5.2 liter V10 rated at 602 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 413 lb ft of torque at 6,500 rpm, a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel-drive. Performante, EVO, STO, Tecnica and Sterrato versions followed and the last was the STJ, limited to just 10 cars. The V8 plug-in hybrid Temerario was unveiled as its successor in August 2024.
Lamborghini’s earlier GT3 cars had come from outside the factory. Reiter Engineering, a German privateer, developed and built the Gallardo GT3s, and the 2013 Gallardo GT3 FL2 was a joint project with Lamborghini. Lamborghini presented the Huracan GT3 at Sant’Agata Bolognese in early-2015 as its first GT3 car developed in-house, by its Squadra Corse motorsport department. It was a huge step for the Italian automaker.
In 2026 the company said this first in-house GT3 car had shared a strong technical relationship with its sister car in the Audi Group. Dallara worked on the aerodynamics, and its founder, Gian Paolo Dallara, was directly involved in the development. The ex-works price was €369,000 (about $427,000 USD), and that was before taxes.
Much like the Huracán road car, the GT3 had a hybrid body shell that was mainly aluminum, with carbon fiber reinforcement where torsional loads are highest. An FIA roll cage running back to the rear axle stiffened it further, and the composite body panels used quick-release fasteners.
The road car drives all four wheels, but the race car sent power to the rear wheels only through a pneumatically shifted 6-speed sequential gearbox from Hör and a mechanical locking differential. Double wishbones with uniball joints located all four wheels, with two-way adjustable Öhlins dampers.
The steel Brembo brakes measured 380 mm with six-piston calipers at the front and 355 mm with four-piston calipers at the rear. Steering was hydraulically assisted, dry weight was 1,230 kgs (2,712 lbs), and a hatch in the roof gave quick access to the driver for post-crash recovery.
By March 2026, when the Huracan’s replacement, the Temerario GT3, made its race debut at the Sebring 12 Hours, Lamborghini credited the Huracan GT3 with more than 200 race wins and 99 championship titles around the world. Image provided by Lamborghini.
Interestingly, the direct-injection, dry-sump V10 has no fixed power output. This was because power varied with the intake restrictor each championship sets under its Balance of Performance rules. Lamborghini says the numbers were typically between 562 bhp and 585 bhp, but it could go above and below these figures depending on BoP.
The Huracan GT3 won first time out thanks to Grasser Racing Team’s Jeroen Mul, Fabio Babini, and Andrew Palmer who won the opening round of the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series at Monza on April the 12. Stewards excluded the car after the race, ruling its refueling restrictor non-compliant, but the FIA’s International Court of Appeal set that decision aside and the win was restored in August.
Grasser later won the GT Daytona class at the 2018 Daytona 24 Hours. That same year, Paul Miller Racing’s Bryan Sellers and Madison Snow took the IMSA GTD title. Lamborghini painted its 10,000th road-going Huracan, a Performante, in the Verde Mantis green of the Daytona winner.
When the original car’s four-year homologation ran out, the GT3 EVO arrived for 2019, based on the Huracan EVO road car. Grasser recovered from a late puncture to win with it on its debut, at a rain-shortened Daytona. Paul Miller Racing made it three consecutive Daytona class wins in 2020. Lamborghini also won the GTD class at the Sebring 12 Hours in 2018 and 2019. In Europe, Andrea Caldarelli and Marco Mapelli of Orange1 FFF Racing won all three 2019 Blancpain GT Series drivers’ titles – the Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe sprint title, the Endurance Cup, and the overall crown.
The EVO2 was unveiled in May of 2022, it was based on the STO and built to the FIA’s 2022 GT3 regulations. A roof scoop replaced the side engine intakes, and the bodywork became full carbon fiber. Mirko Bortolotti won the 2024 DTM title for SSR Performance in an EVO2, Lamborghini’s first championship in the series. In mid-2025, Bortolotti, Luca Engstler, and Jordan Pepper won the Spa 24 Hours outright in Grasser’s EVO2, by 8.7 seconds. It was Lamborghini’s first overall win in the race.
