This is Lamborghini’s Huracan GT3 race car. While the Huracan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo stars in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series in Europe, Asia and North America, this mean machine will line up in the Blancpain Endurance Series that runs over five venues in Europe, including a round at the Spa-Francorchamps 24-hours race.
The Huracan GT3 is equipped with an alu-carbon chassis and an FIA-compliant roll cage. The subframe has been modified at both ends to accommodate a high performance water radiator (front), and for a better positioning of the gearbox (rear), improving aerodynamics. Kerb weight is 1,239 kg with a 42:58 weight distribution.
The bodywork and aerodynamics were developed in collaboration with Dallara. Efficiency has been improved thanks to the rear adjustable wing, adjustable front diffuser and louvres. The new aerodynamics also allow improved cooling of the braking system.
The rear-wheel drive Huracan GT3 adopts the road car’s V10 engine, managed by a Bosch Motorsport control unit that also takes care of traction control, the gearbox and the TFT display on the dashboard. The engine is fixed on the chassis by rigid mountings and is coupled with a sequential six-speed gearbox, according to FIA regulations, and a three-disc racing clutch.
The braking system is made up by 380 x 34 mm steel discs at the front (six-pot), and 355 x 32mm steel discs at the back (four-pot).
The new race car has already made its track debut in development tests, under the supervision of head of motorsport Giorgio Sanna.
“The first GT3 car from Lamborghini will allow talented young drivers the opportunity to contest a Lamborghini in competitions such as the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series. This season will be an important one for us to gather experience from a category as demanding as GT3, but at the same time we are offering a competitive product to our customers,” he said.
In Europe, the Huracan GT3 is priced at 369,000 euros (RM1.498 million) excluding taxes. If you’re wondering, Pertamina is Indonesia’s state oil company (like our Petronas) and an official technical partner of Lamborghini Squadra Corse activities in the coming years.
Our man Gregory Sze recently had his track cherry popped by the Huracan (the road-legal one that you can buy in Malaysia for RM2.1 million), and you can read his account here.
