Hear the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 race car at full V-10 howl

Many high-end automakers have produced GT3-spec race cars in an effort to beat the competition and showcase their engineering capabilities on track: We have Ferrari 458 GT3s, Audi R8 GT3s, Aston Martin Vantage GT3s, McLaren 650S GT3s, Bentley Continental GT3s, and the list goes on and on -- even including Cadillac with its new ATS-V GT3.

Point being, GT3 cars are where it's at, and today, Lamborghini has joined the bunch by revealing its new Huracán GT3.

As per FIA rules, the Huracán GT3 must begin life off the same assembly line as the production model. The engine is identical, although often restricted to keep competition close. In the case of Audi's R8 GT3, roughly 50 percent of the components remain from the production car, but that other 50 percent, well, that's where the magic really happens.
