Lamborghini's DTM opener: two races, two top-two finishes

Engstler's Three-Tenths Margin at Oschersleben Reveals Why the Huracán GT3 EVO2 Still Bites

A win, a podium, and a wheel-nut failure told the full story of Lamborghini's DTM season opener.

Luca Engstler won Race 2 by three-tenths of a second and Mirko Bortolotti finished second in Race 1, giving the naturally aspirated V10 two top-two results across the Oschersleben weekend.

The pit-window gamble that decided Race 2

A full-course yellow triggered by contact between a Ferrari and a BMW froze the field just as the GRT crew was ready to execute Engstler's mandatory stop, vaulting the #19 Huracán into the lead without losing meaningful track position.

Bortolotti's second place Saturday, pit-lane disaster Sunday

Bortolotti claimed pole for Race 2 and led the early laps before a left-rear wheel-nut failure dropped his #92 Huracán from first to 15th, while teammate Nicki Thiim suffered the identical problem and retired outright.

The only naturally aspirated V10 on the GT3 grid

The Huracán GT3 EVO2's 5.2-liter V10 delivers a linear powerband and immediate throttle response that give drivers a more predictable relationship between throttle input and rear-tire load on corner exit.

Engstler's final Huracán season before the Temerario era

Engstler is slated to drive the twin-turbocharged Temerario GT3 in the GT World Challenge Europe in 2026, making his current DTM campaign a final chapter for the naturally aspirated platform and a proving ground for a driver being groomed for the next generation.

Podium proof for Lamborghini's customer teams

Two separate teams — GRT and SSR Performance — both showed front-running pace across the weekend, reinforcing that the Huracán GT3 EVO2 remains a race-winning platform whose results matter for resale value, spare-parts support, and customer confidence.

Three-tenths and a season still to run

The DTM season continues at the Lausitzring on May 25–26, and Lamborghini's sixth DTM victory — earned at the same Oschersleben circuit where the brand won its first — proved the V10's song is far from over.
