Lamborghini Puts Its CTO in Charge of Racing to Protect the Temerario GT3 Launch
Rouven Mohr steps back into Squadra Corse on an interim basis as Maurizio Leschiutta departs at the end of 2025.
Maurizio Leschiutta will leave his position as Head of Lamborghini's motorsport division at the end of 2025, barely a year after taking the role, and CTO Rouven Mohr will lead Squadra Corse on an interim basis.
A decade on the same GT3 platform
Lamborghini stuck with updated versions of the same basic Huracán race car for a full decade while competitors cycled through multiple entirely new GT3 platforms.
Lamborghini's GT3 legacy and the pressure to evolve
Lamborghini's previous GT3 efforts relied heavily on external partners for race car conversion, but the Temerario GT3 is the first race car entirely designed and developed in-house at Sant'Agata Bolognese.
Customer teams need continuity
Private teams that form the backbone of Lamborghini's customer racing ecosystem need continuity in technical leadership during this handover because it directly affects parts supply, technical support quality, and the confidence to commit six-figure budgets to a new platform.
Two programs that define the next decade
Mohr inherits direct oversight of the Temerario GT3, scheduled to debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2026, and the Temerario Super Trofeo, set to enter the European, North American, and Asian one-make championships from 2027.
Mohr's path from Audi R&D to Lamborghini CTO
Rouven Mohr joined Audi's R&D department in 2008, moved to Lamborghini in 2017 to oversee development of the Aventador, Huracán, and Urus, and became CTO in January 2022, shaping the hybridization strategy behind the Revuelto and Temerario road cars.
The Temerario closes the gap — with new challenges
The Temerario GT3 closes the platform gap, but customer racing teams will be adapting to a fundamentally different car with new powerband characteristics from the turbo V8, different weight distribution, and unfamiliar aero behavior.
A two-month window before Mohr leaves for Ingolstadt
Mohr is confirmed to join the Board of Management of Audi AG as Chief Technical Officer starting March 1, 2026, giving him roughly two months to ensure the Temerario GT3 arrives at Sebring with its development philosophy intact and its support infrastructure organized for customer teams.
Lamborghini's competition future rides on these programs
Lamborghini paused its SC63 hypercar program for 2026, making the Temerario GT3 and Super Trofeo programs the primary vehicles through which the brand competes on the world stage and feeds technology back into its road car portfolio.
