Racing previews and on-track performance for the sportiest edition ever
Sant’Agata Bolognese, 26 February 2026 – Lamborghini Arena returns to the Autodromo di Imola on 9 and 10 May in an event that strengthens the bond between brand and motorsport. For the first time the Arena program will host an official round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, the second meet of the season following the opening round at Paul Ricard, placing a key pillar of the Sant’Agata Bolognese manufacturer’s racing activities at the heart of the Arena event.
The inclusion of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe within Arena represents an opportunity to experience motorsport within the broader Automobili Lamborghini universe, bringing clients, enthusiasts and partners closer to the brand’s world, while the energy of competition enhances Arena by placing the circuit at the centre of the event experience.
2026 marks the 17th edition of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, established in 2009 and over time becoming one of the most competitive and internationally recognised single-make championships. Between 2012 and 2013, the format took on an intercontinental dimension with the creation of the Asia and North America series, consolidating the Super Trofeo as a global racing platform. Imola represents a significant venue for the championship: this is the third time the Emilia-Romagna circuit has hosted the Super Trofeo, following the 2017 World Finals and the race held in 2024 in support of the FIA WEC championship.
The race weekend will unfold over two intense days. On Saturday morning, two free practice sessions are scheduled, followed in the afternoon by two qualifying sessions that will determine the starting grids for the two races taking place on Sunday. The races will be held one in the morning and one in the afternoon, offering spectators a double on-track appointment and an even more engaging experience within Lamborghini Arena.
2026 represents the final competitive season of the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, which in recent years has embodied the technical evolution of the championship. Since 2009, the Super Trofeo has accompanied the brand’s sporting growth through several generations of racing cars: from the Gallardo Super Trofeo to the Gallardo Super Trofeo EVO, and then the Huracán Super Trofeo, developed into the EVO and EVO2 versions.
The next chapter will be marked by the debut of the Temerario Super Trofeo, previewed at the 2025 World Finals and developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse on an entirely new platform. Derived from the road-going Temerario[1] and designed in parallel with the GT3 version, the car features a 650 hp twin-turbo V8 with rear-wheel drive and a six-speed sequential gearbox, maintaining the single-make championship’s racing philosophy and reinforcing its role as a benchmark platform for professional and gentleman drivers alike. The new Temerario Super Trofeo will make its official debut next season, but it will already be present at Imola for an on-track demonstration and a dedicated public display, offering an adrenaline-fuelled preview of Lamborghini’s racing future.
Alongside the Super Trofeo, the Essenza SCV12 hypercars will also take centre stage. These limited-series hypercars, unveiled in 2020 and developed by Squadra Corse exclusively for track use, are powered by a naturally aspirated V12 producing over 830 CV and feature technical solutions derived directly from motorsport, representing the ultimate expression of Lamborghini engineering applied to racing.
With the 9 to 10 May event, Lamborghini Arena returns with a programme that brings together motorsport, community and passion in two immersive days, celebrating the spirit of the Sant’Agata Bolognese marque.
