The Lamborghini Temerario GT3 was supposed to be the next big thing—a worthy successor to the legendary Huracan. But since its debut this year, the track has told a different story. Early performances have raised eyebrows across the paddock, and now whispers of an early "Evo" update are growing louder.
Here's the challenge: The Temerario was homologated by the FIA at the end of 2025, which essentially freezes its development. So far, even Balance of Performance (BoP) tweaks haven't been enough to push it toward the front of the grid. That's left Lamborghini in a tough spot—and the FIA is paying attention.
According to reports from Motorsport-Total.com, FIA GT3 technical chief Luca Gibello was spotted at the DTM weekend at Red Bull Ring. That's fueled speculation that the governing body is already discussing possible concessions—or even a fast-tracked Evo package. While Lamborghini hasn't confirmed anything, the idea is gaining traction.
Even GT3 creator Stephane Ratel, who has historically opposed early Evo packages on cost grounds, seems open to the idea. "Usually you have an evolution every three or four years. But you have a problem if a manufacturer comes with a car which is not competitive," Ratel told Motorsport.com. "The start of the Lamborghini Temerario seems difficult. If you ask me today, can we allow them an evolution or we may lose them simply? I prefer to grant them an evolution rather than losing a fantastic brand from the GT3 grid."
But getting an early Evo approved is far from straightforward. Under FIA rules, a new GT3 homologation cycle lasts four years, with Evo packages allowed only every two years. Exceptions are possible, but they require approval through multiple bodies. Lamborghini would need to submit a formal request to the FIA's Technical Working Group (TWG), which includes manufacturer reps and FIA technical staff. If the TWG reaches a consensus, the proposal moves to the homologation department and then to the GT Commission, where a simple majority vote is needed. Final ratification by the FIA World Motor Sport Council would likely be a formality.
For now, the Temerario's future hangs in the balance. Will Lamborghini get the green light for an early upgrade—or will they have to wait for the next scheduled Evo window? One thing's for sure: the paddock is watching closely.
