Lamborghini Unleashes Aggressive New Temerario GT3
Lamborghinihas pulled the wraps off its next-generation race car, the Temerario GT3, marking the brand's first competition model entirely designed, developed and built at its Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters. Derived from the road-goingTemerario, the GT3 version was engineered from the outset with motorsport in mind, bringing track-ready precision to a production-born platform.
The new race car features a lightweight aluminum spaceframe chassis, reworked for racing serviceability and cloaked in carbon-composite bodywork designed for rapid pit-lane disassembly. Power comes from a re-engineered version of the 4L twin-turbo V8 engine, now making 550 hp in compliance with GT3 regulations, paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox. Advanced aerodynamics, improved cooling and a custom exhaust system developed with Capristo complete the performance package.
Inside, the cockpit benefits from input by Lamborghini's factory drivers, featuring revised ergonomics, upgraded electronics and a bespoke steering wheel. The Temerario GT3 also introduces new six-way KW dampers, a longer wheelbase, wider track and custom hydraulic steering, all aimed at delivering greater cornering grip and ease of setup across race conditions. The car is set to debut at the 2026 Sebring 12 Hours, signaling Lamborghini's ongoing investment in global GT racing and its customer teams.

Lamborghini's new $380K hybrid supercar redefines luxury tech
Lamborghini's new hybrid supercar, the Temerario, blends electrification with extreme performance — all for just $380,000. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Pras Subramanian joins Asking for a Trend to share insights from his interview with Lamborghini president and CEO Stephan Winkelman. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend. Ultra luxury car maker Lamborghini is out with its new hybrid vehicle with a price tag of $380,000. And our senior Autos reporter Pras Subramanian spoke with the company's president and got to drive the car. Pras, welcome. Yes, yes. The new Lamborghini Tamburario is out, the hybrid supercar. Now, so they've now fully electrified their line with hybrids. You know, Lamborghini was supposed to actually put out an EV pretty soon, but they've sort of had to dial that back a little bit. And, you know, before we got a chance to drive the car, I spoke to CEO Stephan Winkelmann about their EV plans. We've seen a number of companies, including yours, kind of push back the full EV timeline. What's the latest on that? Well, we decided two things after looking into the acceptance curve of battery electric vehicles, which is flattening in comparison to the previous, you know, thoughts of the global automotive industry. And therefore, also for us, it's lowering the expectation in terms of growth rate. So we decided that the follow-up of the Urus PHEV will be again a plug-in hybrid car. And then we postponed our first model a bit to understand when is the right time to come with it. So it still makes some sense for BEV in the luxury world, potentially? Potentially, but we have to see as we said here, we have to come not when the technology is ready, but when the time is ready and when it's going to be successful and when the customers are accepting it. And this is paramount for a company like ours, because we are delivering dreams and not mobility. Yeah, so delivering dreams versus mobility. They're not a mobility company. They're, you know, they're an emotional performance company. So actually, that combined with, you know, the EV story, combined with tariffs, that's been a thing that's been coming up for really expensive cars, you know, how do you handle that? What they've been doing is they've been absorbing a lot of that cost and passing on some of that to their customers. They think it's unfair to pass the whole cost down. So that's part of the sort of business decision there with the company. Then we have the new trade deal, so that's going to help them out. Uh, you know, secondly, I kind of asked about sort of the future of the company and where they kind of see this luxury EV maker, I'm sorry, luxury automaker, where they see themselves. And here's what he had to say. What do you see the next 20 years bring to Lamborghini? Lamborghini is not about volumes, no. It's about how much you earn that you can reinvest in a newest technology for the future. Because the world is more complex, life cycles are shortening, investments are getting higher, technology is evolving faster. So you have to keep up with it and so we have to grow in terms of awareness, image, and to have a solid customer base, which is appreciating our cars also in 20 years from now. And this depends a lot on us if we keep up with the newest technology, but if we continue also to be trendsetters. You know, despite some of these issues with electrification, tariffs, some sort of global uncertainty here with higher rates, things like that, Lamborghini still had first half sales a little bit higher compared to last year, which is more than you can say about a lot of luxury automakers who have been suffering recently. What about the new car? You test drove it. How did it feel? Uh, the new car is simply, I guess, pretty astounding. The predecessor was called the Huracán. This new Tamburario is 1,000, I mean 900 horsepower, almost 1,000 horsepower, right? A V8 that goes to 10,000 RPM, right? But what's really interesting about this car is that it has, it's electrified. So it has two motors in the front, right? That drive each front wheel. So basically when you kind of go around turns, it'll spin the outside wheel faster, kind of move the car around. So you almost feel like you can do anything in this car, right? Like you can go 200 miles an hour, hit the brakes, turn right really hard, and the car will do it. It's kind of like almost like magic, trickery, alien technology, whatever you want to call it. Uh, this car sort of has it all and it's super fast. I will say that because of the turbo technology and the electric motors, it's not as loud as the predecessor was, the V10, howling V10. This engine can get pretty loud, but if you're driving 10,000 RPM at that speed, you shouldn't be on any local roads. Who is, who do they take it on? Who's the rival for this new car? So Lamborghini and Ferrari have been locked in battle for a while now. Ferrari would say we're one of one Lamborghini, they're just, they're not our competition, but in reality, they really are. Uh, you have Aston Martin, right? You have McLaren. You have cars up this level, up this price, performance-wise. I've not driven the Ferrari 296, but I've heard that that car is sort of the pinnacle, and the Tamburario is probably there, if not, maybe surpasses it, I'm not sure. I've got to drive it. Yeah. Next assignment, that's what it is. Thank you, Pras.

One worker's Reddit post is drawing outrage after revealing the stark contrast between their boss's lavish spending and how he treats his staff.

Ferrari Just Stalled -- Why the Luxury Icon's Stock Dropped Despite Strong Profits
Ferrari's second-quarter results weren't the engine roar investors were hoping for. While revenue rose 4% year-over-year to 1.79 billion ($2 billion), the figure came in just below expectations. Operating profit edged up 6% to 709 million, slightly ahead of consensus, but not enough to shift sentiment. Shares of Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) dropped as much as 6.9% in Milan trading, giving back gains from the past two weeks. Jefferies called the top line a bit shy, and RBC had flagged that only a blowout quarter would justify a guidance raisesomething that didn't materialize. Management did offer a note of optimism, pointing to stronger confidence in full-year guidance following a new tariff deal. The agreement trims duties on European car imports to 15%, down from the Trump-era peak of 27.5%. But that still sits well above the pre-trade war baseline of 2.5%. Since all Ferraris are made in Italy, the company doesn't have the option to shift production closer to its largest market, the U.S., which accounts for roughly a quarter of deliveries. To protect its near-40% gross margin, Ferrari has already signaled price increases of up to 10% on select U.S. models. The good news? The order book remains full, cancellations are minimal, and Ferrari still commands enough brand power to potentially pass on cost hikes without losing demand. But investors are watching closely. With rivals like Lamborghini posting record plug-in hybrid deliverieseven as profits slipattention will turn to Ferrari's first fully electric vehicle debuting this October. If demand holds and margins remain intact, Ferrari could still steer through this period without hitting the brakes. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio
