Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo The Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo is a factory-developed racing derivative of the Lamborghini Huracán, campaigned in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo one-make series and selected endurance events. Introduced by Automobili Lamborghini and Lamborghini Squadra Corse to replace the original Super Trofeo, the Evo balances engineering upgrades, aerodynamic development and FIA-aligned safety improvements for customer teams and professional drivers. It served as a platform for teams competing at circuits used by WEC, IMSA, GT World Challenge, 24 Hours of Spa, and regional series.
The development program was led by Lamborghini Squadra Corse engineers working with partners such as Dallara and suppliers including Pirelli, Brembo, and Akrapovič to refine the chassis, aerodynamics and cooling seen on contemporary Le Mans-spec and GT3 platforms. Design cues drew from the road-going Lamborghini Huracán Evo and the concept work of the Lamborghini Centro Stile, translating into a revised front splitter, revised rear wing and underbody diffusers influenced by research from teams competing at Silverstone Circuit, Monza Circuit, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, and Circuit de la Sarthe. The program incorporated track feedback from customer teams in Europe, North America and Asia, coordinating homologation with FIA GT officials and aligning with series organizer requirements from SRO Motorsports Group and International Motor Sports Association.
The Super Trofeo Evo retained the production-derived 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox manufactured by Xtrac, with drivetrain options tailored for rear-wheel-drive competition. Suspension geometry uses adjustable double wishbones with pushrod or conventional setups tuned by engineers familiar with data from data acquisition used in Formula One and DTM programs. Braking systems employ lightweight vented discs and multi-piston calipers developed with Brembo, while wheel and tire packages rely on bespoke Pirelli P Zero compounds for one-make race control. Electronics, telemetry and traction control were updated via partnerships with firms experienced in ECU integration and race control communications deployed at 24 Hours of Le Mans-sanctioned events.
Debuting in the 2019 season, the Super Trofeo Evo contested national and continental championships across circuits such as Monza, Nürburgring, Paul Ricard, and Suzuka Circuit. The car featured prominently in rounds run alongside marquee series including the WEC support races and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship events at Daytona International Speedway and Sebring International Raceway. Championship battles often involved factory-supported entries and privateers who previously campaigned Ferrari Challenge, Porsche Carrera Cup, and McLaren GT machinery. The platform was used in endurance formats and one-make sprint weekends, contributing to driver progression into GT3 competition and invitations to events like the 24 Hours of Spa and Bathurst 12 Hour.
Following the initial Evo release, Lamborghini introduced iterative upgrades and race-specific kits, including Balance of Performance (BoP)-compliant modifications administered by series regulators such as SRO Motorsports Group and FIA GT Commission. Variants included configuration changes for sprint, endurance and pro-am classes; technical evolution drew on developments seen in road models like the Lamborghini Huracán STO and racing derivatives such as the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO. Support upgrades encompassed aerodynamic packages, cooling revisions for high-altitude circuits like Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, and electronics revisions inspired by developments in GT3 telemetry standards.
Customer teams across continents—ranging from established outfits like Attempto Racing, Konrad Motorsport, Grasser Racing Team, ROWE Racing, and Team Lazarus to privateer entries—fielded the Super Trofeo Evo in national series and international finals. Drivers included amateurs, factory-supported professionals, and program graduates who progressed to series run by SRO Motorsports Group, IMSA, and FIA-sanctioned championships. The platform became a career stepping stone for drivers aiming at seats in GT World Challenge Europe, invitations to 24 Hours of Spa, and endurance opportunities with teams competing in GT3 and GTE classes.
Safety enhancements conformed to FIA technical and homologation standards, incorporating reinforced roll cages, Hans device compatibility, fire suppression systems meeting FIA safety mandates, and fuel cells homologated under FIA FT3 specifications used in endurance racing. Aerodynamic upgrades focused on predictable downforce and reduced drag via revised front splitters, dive planes, gurney flaps, and multi-element rear wings—components tested at wind tunnels used by teams at CENEX-affiliated facilities and circuits like Paul Ricard and Silverstone Circuit. Cooling and brake ducting revisions addressed thermal management for events at Mount Panorama Circuit and Circuit of the Americas.
The Super Trofeo Evo reinforced Automobili Lamborghini's customer racing strategy through Lamborghini Squadra Corse, enhancing the brand's presence alongside competitors such as Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, McLaren, and Mercedes-AMG in GT and one-make racing. Commentators from publications covering Autosport, Motorsport.com, and Top Gear noted the Evo's contribution to driver development pipelines, team competitiveness in one-make formats, and Lamborghini's motorsport marketing at events like the Goodwood Festival of Speed and manufacturer-supported programs at Monza. The model's integration into global racing calendars strengthened Lamborghini's position within the modern GT racing landscape and customer racing economies managed by entities including SRO Motorsports Group and FIA.
