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”.
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 and were put
through their paces by 88 drivers.
