Lamborghini Finally Gets Serious About Racing With Huracán GT3
Lamborghini Finally Gets Serious About Racing With Huracán GT3-August 2024

If you've ever wondered why pants-on-face-bonkers supercar manufacturer Lamborghini doesn't really have a factory racing effort, well, they're about to fix that. They're developing a for FIA GT3 racing. You're welcome.

Lamborghini has dabbled in racing for years, both with the one-make as well as giving some support to the team of , who have run Diablos, Gallardos and Murciélagos in the past.

Remember the Gallardo Super Trofeo? That was an all-wheel drive car with 570 horsepower. The new…

Now Lamborghini is developing a car for FIA GT3 racing through its own in-house motorsports arm. The car will be mostly based on the production Huracán, but shed a few hundred pounds off of its curb weight to comply with GT3 standards. It's likely that they will shed the all-wheel-drive system as fellow Volkswagen Group racers Bentley and Audi have done to meet weight restrictions.

I can't wait to see the 5.2-liter Huracán V10 in a racecar as well. We need more racing V10s, especially with Dodge team from United SportsCar. V10s are love and happiness in an engine note. There can never be enough.

This entry from Lamborghini places it head-to-head (or rather, wheel-to-wheel) with the new . I can't wait to see this much awesomeness on one track at once. While we're at it, does anyone else want to announce a new GT3 car today? The more, the merrier.

BMW has been racing the Z4 in GT3 competition since 2010. While it is still cool, it is getting…

Formula One's Nico Rosberg Would Like To Show You His Balls Of Steel
Silver Arrows? Perhaps Silver Huevos is a better name. Here’s Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg outbraking Williams’ Valtteri Bottas at the chicane during today’s Formula One Japanese Grand Prix. You’re welcome. Rosberg started on pole, but was also receiving a pretty intense shoulder massage right before the start of the race. Perhaps...

What 'C-Word' Did Bubba Wallace Call Brian Scott's Wife?
Things got a tad heated — both physically and verbally — between NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers Brian Scott and Darrell Wallace Jr. on Saturday night, as the two didn’t exactly agree on how a late restart went down in the race at Kentucky Speedway. Somehow a “C-word” was involved, but...

Taking Out The Pit Entry Cone = Ten Points (And A New Front Wing)
Taking Out The Pit Entry Cone = Ten Points (And A New Front Wing)
Poor Carlos Sainz Jr. Not only did he whack into the pit entry cone as he pulled into the pits, but he locked up his tires trying to slow down down to pit lane speed in time. This looked like the worst last minute pit call ever, but the upside...

Alexander Rossi Speeds Past F1 Teammate's Smoky Drift On The Wings Of A Bald Eagle
I know that’s not what literally happened here, but it’s been so long since we’ve had an American in Formula One — indulge me, okay? Look at this pass and tell me that the Statue of Liberty herself isn’t weeping as we speak. It’s beautiful. Rossi’s Manor Marussia teammate Will...

How The Hell Did This Happen?
How The Hell Did This Happen?
If there’s one great thing about Porsche’s numerous Carrera Cup series, it’s the close racing that comes from having everyone in the same car. For Joffrey De Narda at today’s Carrera Cup France race, perhaps it was a bit too close, as Jules Gounon’s 911 ramped right onto the roof...
