Overview

  • Automobili Lamborghini confirmed its sole Riley-run SC63 LMDh will not compete in IMSA’s 2026 GTP season as part of a strategic realignment of its motorsport activities
  • The company cited escalating budget demands and technical complexity that outgrew the original projections set when the programme launched in late 2022
  • Riley Motorsports will campaign the factory SC63 in the final two 2025 Endurance Cup rounds at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Motul Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta
  • Resources will be redirected to Lamborghini’s fully in-house Temerario GT3 prototype set to debut at the 2026 Sebring 12 Hours and a one-make Super Trofeo series planned for 2027
  • By stepping back from top-level LMDh competition, Lamborghini becomes the first major Hypercar-era manufacturer to withdraw and highlights a wider shift toward customer-focused GT racing
