Lamborghini has announced a GT3 motorsport program for the 2013 and 2014 seasons with the introduction of the new Gallardo GT3 FL2.
Developed jointly between Reiter Engineering and Lamborghini’s R&D motorsport department, it will be based on the newly facelifted Gallardo and feature optimized engine cooling, reduced fuel consumption, ‘24-hour’ brakes and a new aero package including a revised version of the Super Trofeo diffuser. A 25 kg weight saving over its predecessor helps to improve the car’s power-to-weight performance.
German-based Reiter Engineering has enjoyed a successful track record with its own Lamborghini GT cars since 2000, securing a total of 199 victories and 350 podium positions within GT championships.
“We are delighted to announce a minimum five-year agreement with Reiter
Engineering as our exclusive development and supply partner for
Lamborghini GT3 cars, based on Reiter’s strong engineering skills, passion
for and understanding of the Lamborghini brand and, of course, obvious
racing success,” said the Lamborghini President, Stephan Winkelmann.
Pricing for the GT3 FL2 has been set at €320,000 (plus taxes), with deliveries to teams in Europe and Asia beginning in March.
