This car, with its little Canadian maple leaf lower back tattoo, is ready for a red carpet debut during this weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring. While the 3.74-mile asphalt and concrete catwalk will make for a bumpy ride when the Temerario rolls out, all eyes will be watching the turbocharged Italian. Racing cars have been stunning the world here since the 1950s, and it's the Temerario's turn in the lime light. Will it scream to the top of the charts, or fall flat on its face? New cars rarely win here, but it's not without precedent.
I, for one, am appreciative that Pfaff brought back a little more plaid to its livery, having ditched a bit too much of it for sponsor space down the center of the car when it joined Lamborghini in 2025. The boring silver is mostly gone, replaced by some black and more plaid rising up from the bottom of the car. The Temerario looks much slimmer and tidier in its new plaid livery, versus the stretched and flared Huracan EVO2 that looked just a little awkward on track.
Pfaff will enter one car in the Sebring race this year with drivers Andrea Caldarelli, Sandy Mitchell, and Franck Perera. Having just got used to running the V10-powered Huracan, it will certainly take some time to become accustomed to the new turbocharged V8 powertrain. This is the first GT3 car built by Lamborghini internally, as well, so hopefully it goes a bit better than the company's failure-to-launch GTP effort.
Due to the slow rollout, limited production, and lack of spare parts for Lamborghini's new Temerario GT3, the other Lamborghini team in IMSA, Wayne Taylor Racing, will continue to run the Huracan GT3 EVO2 for the remainder of the 2026 season. Other teams worldwide will receive Temerario GT3s to run in DTM and GT World Challenge Europe series later this year.
