Unleashing the Bull: Inside the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Series

Lamborghini’s Most Exclusive Racing Series

The Lamborghini Super Trofeo series represents the pinnacle of one-make racing, offering an exhilarating competition exclusively featuring the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo race cars. Organized by Squadra Corse, Lamborghini's motorsport division, the championship serves as a proving ground for amateur and professional drivers alike, bringing together some of the most thrilling GT racing action worldwide.

The Cars: Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo & Evo 2

At the heart of the championship are the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo and its successor, the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo 2. Both cars are based on the road going Huracán but have been extensively modified for track performance. They are powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine producing 620 horsepower, delivering breathtaking acceleration and top speeds exceeding 200 mph.

The Evo 2, introduced in 2021, features significant aerodynamic upgrades, including a redesigned front splitter, larger air intakes, and a prominent rear wing for increased downforce. These enhancements not only improve handling but also contribute to the aggressive aesthetics that define Lamborghini race cars.

Global Reach: Super Trofeo Championships

The Lamborghini Super Trofeo series is divided into three regional championships:

  • Super Trofeo Europe – Considered the most competitive of the three, this series races on some of Europe’s most iconic circuits.
  • Super Trofeo North America – Bringing the excitement of Lamborghini racing to the U.S., featuring legendary tracks like Sebring, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, Circuit of the Americas (COTA), and Indianapolis.
  • Super Trofeo Asia – Expanding Lamborghini’s motorsport presence in Asia, hosting races across multiple countries with a growing fan base.

The top-performing teams and drivers from each regional championship converge at the end of the season for the Super Trofeo World Finals, where they compete for the ultimate Lamborghini Super Trofeo title.

Private Teams and Racing Categories

Unlike manufacturer-backed efforts in other series, Super Trofeo is primarily contested by private teams, adding a unique element of competition. Teams range from professional race outfits to gentleman drivers looking to experience high-level racing. The championship is structured into four categories:

  • Pro – For professional drivers aiming for the highest level of competition.
  • Pro-Am – A combination of professional and amateur drivers sharing a car.
  • Am – Reserved for non-professional racers looking to challenge themselves on an international stage.
  • LB Cup (Lamborghini Cup) – Designed for newcomers and gentleman drivers who want to experience Lamborghini racing in a competitive yet accessible format.

Super Trofeo and IMSA

In North America, the Super Trofeo series has a strong connection with IMSA (International Motor Sports Association), often serving as a support race for major IMSA events. This affiliation exposes Super Trofeo drivers to the highest levels of sports car racing, including opportunities to transition into IMSA GT3 and endurance racing categories.

A Gateway to Greater Motorsport Success

The Lamborghini Super Trofeo series is not just about speed—it’s a stepping stone for many drivers aiming for professional motorsport careers. Alumni of the series have progressed to prestigious endurance events, including the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and even Le Mans. With its combination of cutting-edge Lamborghini technology, global exposure, and intense racing action, Super Trofeo continues to be one of the most exciting one-make racing series in the world.

Whether it’s at the legendary Jerez de la Frontera in Spain or the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Super Trofeo provides the perfect blend of high-speed thrills and Lamborghini’s unmistakable racing heritage. As the series grows, it remains a premier platform for both rising stars and seasoned veterans to showcase their skills behind the wheel of one of the most exhilarating GT race cars ever built.
