36 Races, 16 Venues, One Last V10 Hurrah
Lamborghini Squadra Corse confirmed the provisional 2026 calendars for its Super Trofeo championships across Europe, Asia, and North America, and the season carries unusual weight. The three regional series will contest 36 races at 16 circuits spanning three continents and 11 countries, all reserved exclusively for the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2. According to Lamborghini, 2026 is the final full season for the Huracán Super Trofeo before the new Temerario Super Trofeo replaces it in 2027.
That single fact reframes the entire calendar. What looks on paper like another year of one-make racing is actually a structured farewell for a naturally aspirated V10 race car that defined Lamborghini’s customer motorsport identity for the better part of a decade, and simultaneously a runway for the brand’s turbocharged, next-generation racing platform. Every round on this schedule doubles as both a celebration and a countdown.
The EVO2’s Legacy: A Decade Built on Ten Cylinders
The Super Trofeo series launched in 2009 with the Gallardo, and Lamborghini says 950 drivers have competed across the three continental championships since then. The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 itself arrived for the 2022 competition season, bringing aerodynamic refinements penned by Lamborghini Centro Stile, larger 390mm front brake discs (up from 380mm on the prior car), and LED light clusters at the rear that nod to the Countach. Underneath, the formula stayed faithful to what made the series both accessible and exciting: a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 producing 620 horsepower, a sequential six-speed Xtrac gearbox, and rear-wheel drive.
That combination of raw, high-revving power and relatively straightforward mechanical architecture gave the EVO2 a character that gentleman racers and aspiring professionals could learn on without being overwhelmed by electronic complexity. The car rewarded clean inputs and punished laziness, which is precisely what a customer racing platform should do. Lamborghini’s maiden victory at the Spa 24 Hours in 2025, achieved with the related Huracán GT3 EVO2 through Grasser Racing Team‘s Mirko Bortolotti, Luca Engstler, and Jordan Pepper, added a final exclamation point to the Huracán’s competitive record before the curtain call.
Reports from Autoblog indicate that some Huracán Super Trofeo cars have even been titled for road use by enterprising dealers, a testament to how deeply the model resonates with collectors who want the real racing article in their garage rather than a street-legal approximation.

The Temerario Super Trofeo and the End of Natural Aspiration
Lamborghini confirmed the Temerario Super Trofeo will take over for 2027, and that announcement reshapes the competitive equation for the entire series. The road-going Temerario, which replaced the Huracán in 2024, pairs a twin-turbocharged V8 with plug-in hybrid technology. The Temerario GT3, Lamborghini’s first competition car fully designed and built in-house, debuted at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed and shares its architectural DNA with the road car.
For the Super Trofeo variant, the picture remains incomplete. One report describes a twin-turbo V8 with output figures that vary across sources, ranging from approximately 620 to 670 horsepower depending on the outlet. What seems consistent is the shift to forced induction and a new Hoer six-speed sequential gearbox. Lamborghini has not published a full specification sheet for the Super Trofeo version, so precise figures remain unconfirmed.
The timing of this announcement matters as much as its content. By confirming the model transition a full year in advance, Lamborghini gives existing teams the chance to plan their investment cycle and gives prospective new entrants a clear picture of what they are buying into. For teams and drivers who built their programs around the Huracán’s characteristics, adapting to the Temerario means reckoning with an entirely new powerband, different weight distribution, and the complexities of turbo lag management in wheel-to-wheel racing. The naturally aspirated V10’s linear throttle response was forgiving in a way that turbocharged engines, by nature, are not. That contrast is exactly why 2026 feels like a last chance to experience something unrepeatable.
The Calendar in Detail: Europe, Asia, and North America
North America kicks off earliest, with the 14th edition of the series opening on the support bill of the 12 Hours of Sebring in March. Five of six rounds run alongside the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship, continuing a partnership that gives Super Trofeo competitors exposure at some of the biggest endurance racing weekends in the country. Laguna Seca, which has appeared on every North American calendar since 2014, follows in May. Watkins Glen supports the 6 Hours of the Glen, and Road America and Indianapolis complete the confirmed schedule before a yet-to-be-announced finale.
The European championship, now in its 18th edition, opens at Circuit Paul Ricard from April 10 to 12, running on the support bill of the GT World Challenge Europe series. Five of the six European rounds carry that GTWCE pairing, keeping the Super Trofeo in front of the broadest possible GT racing audience on the continent. The calendar then moves to an Italian venue still to be confirmed, followed by Spa-Francorchamps in late June, the Nürburgring in late August, and Barcelona in early October. The European finale and the annual Lamborghini World Finals remain unannounced in both date and location.
Asia’s 12th season opens at Sepang in Malaysia before heading to Buriram in Thailand, a return to the calendar for the first time since 2018. Fuji in Japan, Inje Speedium in South Korea, and Shanghai round out the confirmed Asian venues. The geographic spread across five countries reflects Lamborghini’s investment in markets where supercar demand continues to grow.
| Region | Rounds | Key Venues | Opens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | 6 (1 TBA) | Paul Ricard, Spa, Nürburgring, Barcelona | April 10-12 |
| Asia | 6 (finale TBA) | Sepang, Buriram, Fuji, Inje, Shanghai | April 24-26 |
| North America | 6 (finale TBA) | Sebring, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Road America, Indianapolis | March 18-20 |

Strategic Partnerships and the Competitive Landscape
One-make racing series serve a dual purpose for manufacturers: they build brand loyalty among wealthy customers who want to race, and they create a visible, global marketing platform that no amount of print advertising can replicate. Lamborghini’s IMSA partnership in North America places Super Trofeo cars on the same weekend programs as prototype and GT3 machinery, giving the series a visibility boost that standalone one-make events struggle to match. The European alignment with SRO’s GT World Challenge serves a similar function. These partnerships matter commercially because they put the Lamborghini brand in front of motorsport audiences who might otherwise never encounter a Super Trofeo race.
The transition to the Temerario platform also positions Lamborghini to keep its customer racing technology aligned with its GT3 program. Both the Temerario GT3 and the Temerario Super Trofeo share a common lineage in the road car, and both represent the first Lamborghini competition cars fully developed in Sant’Agata Bolognese rather than outsourced to external constructors. That vertical integration is a competitive advantage Lamborghini did not previously hold, and it should allow faster iteration between the GT3 and one-make platforms going forward. In that light, the 2026 season is not just a farewell to the Huracán; it is the final year before Squadra Corse operates with a fundamentally different development model.

What This Means for Buyers, Collectors, and Fans
For anyone considering entering the Super Trofeo series, 2026 presents a specific calculus. Buying a Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 now means acquiring a car with one guaranteed full season of factory-supported competition remaining. The collector value proposition is clearer still: as the final expression of Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V10 in one-make racing, the EVO2 will likely hold a distinct place in the brand’s motorsport history. Autoblog recently featured a low-mileage 2020 Huracán Super Trofeo EVO listed on Bring a Trailer, noting its appeal to collectors drawn to what the outlet called Lamborghini’s era of pure, naturally aspirated racing.
For those willing to wait, the Temerario Super Trofeo represents a fundamentally different ownership proposition: a turbocharged, next-generation race car backed by Lamborghini’s new in-house development capability. Full specifications and pricing remain unconfirmed, so prospective entrants should expect more detail to emerge as 2026 progresses.
Several pieces of the puzzle are still missing. Lamborghini has not confirmed the date or location for the 2026 World Finals, which traditionally serves as the season’s marquee event. The Italian venue for the European championship’s second round is also pending. For fans planning trackside visits, the confirmed calendar offers plenty to work with, but the full picture will only crystallize once those final slots are filled. In the meantime, the message from Sant’Agata is unmistakable: savor the V10 while it lasts.
