Lamborghini is celebrating the production milestone of 400 Huracan racing cars manufactured in the company's Sant’Agata Bolognese facility since 2014. 400 Huracán Super Trofeo and GT3s have been produced on the same assembly line as the road cars.
The first Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo was presented to the world in 2014, which replaced the Gallardo as the car of choice in Lamborghini’s single-make championship in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. A year later, Lamborghini introduced the Huracán GT3, marking its official entry into GT racing.

The production milestone of the racing car was celebrated at a special event that was attended by the company's President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann, Chief Technical Officer Maurizio Reggiani, Chief Manufacturing Officer Ranieri Niccoli and Head of Motorsport Giorgio Sanna. "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," said Winkelmann.
Guests at the event also included various technicians who build both the Huracán Super Trofeo Evo and GT3 Evo every day.
Late last year, Lamborghini took covers off the Huracan STO RWD - a track monster which is also road legal. It is powered by a V10 engine which helps it to leap to 100 kmph in three seconds.
