Temerario GT3 Wins at Oschersleben: Lamborghini's In-House V8 Racer Passes Its Biggest Test Yet

Bortolotti and GRT deliver the maiden DTM victory for Lamborghini's first fully independent GT3 car.

Mirko Bortolotti, the reigning 2024 DTM champion, drove the Lamborghini Temerario GT3 to its first outright victory in the second DTM race at Oschersleben on July 26, 2026.

New powertrain, new driving challenge

The Temerario GT3's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivers torque differently from the Huracan's naturally aspirated V10, changing how drivers manage tire wear, braking zones, and corner exit.

Oschersleben was nearly not the first victory — Marco Mapelli crossed the line first at the Lausitzring earlier in the season but lost the win to a 15-second penalty, proving the car already had front-running speed.

Bortolotti's victory dedication

Bortolotti dedicated the win to injured teammate Maximilian Paul, while the result sent a clear signal to prospective customer teams that Lamborghini can deliver competitive machinery after a decade of running updated versions of the same Huracan platform.

Bortolotti leads a multi-marque DTM pack

Bortolotti beat Thomas Preining's Porsche and Maro Engel's Mercedes at Oschersleben, and teammate Luca Engstler's consistent top-five pace in the ABT Sportsline car confirmed the result was not an outlier from one exceptional driver.

Squadra Corse's proof of concept

The Temerario GT3 is the first race car developed entirely in-house by Lamborghini Squadra Corse, built without the Audi collaboration that underpinned the Huracan GT3 program, and Oschersleben proved that independence is now backed by results.
