Lamborghini Celebrates Production Of The 400th Huracán Racing Car
◙ By D’Affluent Magazine
Lamborghini, a brand that not only turn heads but also jolts the minds of most people. While design means different things to different people, I can safely say that Lamborghini’s design language will turn most heads. The Huracán is no different. On April this year Lamborghini celebrates its 400th Huracán model from its headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Lamborghini’s production home base since 1963.
This milestone was recognised at a special event, which was attended by Stephan Winkelmann (President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini), Maurizio Reggiani (Chief Technical Officer), Ranieri Niccoli (Chief Manufacturing Officer) and Giorgio Sanna (Head of Motorsport). They were joined by the various technicians who build both the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo and GT3 Evo every day.

Commenting on the 400th Huracán, Winkelmann said: “We are proud of the milestone, which is important not only for Squadra Corse – the name of Automobili Lamborghini’s motorsport department – but for the whole company. In a few years Squadra Corse has established itself in the most important international competitions and the Huracán GT3 and Super Trofeo are an undisputed point of reference in the Gran Turismo category.”

Just think about this, since 2014, 400 Huracán Super Trofeo and GT3s have been produced. Note that the Huracán GT3 and GT3 Evo have won nearly 100 races in the most prestigious GT championships in the world, in just six seasons. Now that you are thinking about these; what comes to your mind? I don’t know about you but I certainly want one too.

The first Huracán Super Trofeo replaced the Gallardo as the car of choice in Lamborghini’s single-make championship in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East back in 2014. The following year, the Huracán GT3 made its debut, marking Lamborghini’s official entry into GT racing.

Over the next six seasons, the Huracán GT3, and its successor the GT3 Evo, have won nearly 100 races, including the prestigious Daytona 24 Hours a record three consecutive times. The GT3 Evo has also won the coveted Sebring 12 Hours twice as well as the “triple crown” of the GT World Challenge Europe in 2019. In 2020 alone, the Huracán GT3 Evos were represented by 24 different teams, in 15 national and international championships and covered a total of 20,000km across 88 different drivers.
