Lamborghini in race against time

Production problems threaten DTM plans

Lamborghini is under pressure to introduce the new Temerario GT3. Originally, the plan was to build around 10 examples for the 2026 racing season. Meanwhile, that number seems to be considerably lower: realistically, only six to eight vehicles are expected to arrive.

That limited run has direct implications for the distribution among championships. According to current estimates, four cars would go to the DTM, two to GT-World-Challenge Europe and the rest to the IMSA series in the US. For the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, Abt will stick with the tried-and-tested Huracan GT3 Evo2 instead of the new Temerario for the time being.

For Paul Motorsport, with Lamborghini talent Maximilian Paul, this could mean that the team will not be competing in the DTM in 2026 with the Temerario. Grasser and Abt appear to be getting two new cars each, leaving no extra for the smaller Dresden-based team. Besides limited availability, cost and brand equity are also factors: Lamborghini does not want two different Lamborghini models running in the DTM at the same time.
