If you’ve been following real-world GT3 racing this year, you already know the Lamborghini Temerario GT3 is the car everyone is talking about. It made its competitive debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring in March 2026, replacing the long-serving Huracán GT3 as Lamborghini’s factory GT weapon. And if you’re an iRacing subscriber who loves driving the Huracán GT3 EVO, you’ve probably asked yourself the same question the rest of us have: when is the Temerario coming to iRacing?
Let’s be clear upfront: there is no official announcement from iRacing about the Temerario GT3. Nothing has been confirmed, teased, or leaked from staff. But there’s a growing pile of evidence that suggests this car is not a matter of if, but when.
The Real-World Car
The Temerario GT3 is a significant car for Lamborghini. It’s the first Lamborghini race car entirely designed and built in-house at Sant’Agata Bolognese, which is a big deal for the brand’s motorsport identity. Powered by a twin-turbo V8, it represents a clean break from the naturally aspirated V10 that powered the Huracán through years of GT3 competition. The car has already been homologated for SRO-sanctioned series, and factory teams are racing it across multiple championships globally, including DTM.
The DTM Connection
Here’s where things get interesting for the iRacing community. iRacing recently launched an official DTM sim racing series in partnership with the real-world championship. It’s a fantastic addition to the service, giving drivers a structured, competitive environment that mirrors one of Europe’s premier touring car series.
But there’s one notable gap. In the real DTM, Lamborghini teams are racing the Temerario GT3. In iRacing’s DTM series, Lamborghini is represented by the Huracán GT3 EVO, a car that has been retired from real-world competition. iRacing is essentially using the Huracán as a placeholder because the Temerario doesn’t exist in the sim yet.
That’s not a criticism. iRacing works with what it has, and the Huracán is still a capable and popular car on the service. But it does highlight a clear content gap, one that iRacing is almost certainly aware of.
The Competition Is Already Moving
It’s worth noting that iRacing isn’t the only sim with a DTM partnership to consider. RaceRoom Racing Experience has already confirmed the Temerario GT3 as part of their DTM 2026 content pack. When a direct competitor is scanning and licensing the same car, it puts pressure on iRacing to keep pace, especially when they’re running a branded DTM series that currently lacks the real Lamborghini entry.
iRacing Already Has the Relationship
One of the strongest arguments for the Temerario coming to iRacing is that the licensing relationship already exists. Lamborghini has been a partner for years through the Huracán GT3 EVO, and that kind of established partnership typically makes the path to new car agreements much smoother. iRacing doesn’t need to start from scratch with a cold call to Sant’Agata. The conversations have likely already happened, or at least the door is wide open.
We’ve seen this pattern before with other manufacturers on the service. When a new-generation GT3 car replaces an older model in real life, iRacing eventually brings in the successor. The BMW M4 GT3 replaced the M8, the Mercedes AMG GT3 EVO replaced its predecessor, and the Ferrari 296 GT3 stepped in for the 488. The Temerario following the Huracán would be consistent with how iRacing has handled these transitions in the past.
What Would It Mean for the Sim?
If and when the Temerario arrives, it would be more than just a new paint job on an existing car class. The shift from a naturally aspirated V10 to a twin-turbo V8 means different power delivery, different sound, and potentially different handling characteristics that would give GT3 drivers a genuinely new experience.
It would also bring iRacing’s DTM series closer to its real-world counterpart, which strengthens the partnership and makes the series more authentic. For drivers who follow both the real and virtual DTM, having the correct car on the grid matters.
The Bottom Line
No official word yet, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. But the evidence points in a clear direction. iRacing has the Lamborghini partnership, there’s a visible gap in their DTM series, competitors are already licensing the Temerario, and iRacing has a track record of updating their GT3 roster when new-generation cars arrive. It would make sense for iRacing to add the Temerario GT3, and the timing feels right.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this one. If anything changes, you’ll find it on our Build Tracker, where we track every rumored and confirmed piece of upcoming iRacing content. For now, though, this one sits firmly in the “strong rumor” category.
What do you think? Is the Temerario GT3 a lock for iRacing, or are we reading too much into the tea leaves? Let us know in the comments.
