Description:

The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series, launched in 2009, was a one-make racing championship in partnership with Swiss watchmaker Blancpain. Featuring all-wheel-drive Gallardo race cars, the series supported major motorsport events like the DTM, FIA GT, and WTCC. Open to professional and gentleman drivers with an International Competition License, Lamborghini also fielded factory entries with celebrity drivers.

At the 2012 season finale, Lamborghini introduced an upgraded Gallardo Super Trofeo with 620 hp, improved aerodynamics, enhanced brake cooling, and increased downforce (281352 lbs.). The 5.2L V-10 engine, paired with a six-speed sequential paddle-shift transmission, powered all four wheels. Weighing just 2,900 lbs. (dry), the car had a starting price of $338,000, eventually reaching nearly $400,000.

This example, sponsored by Lamborghini Houston as race #9, competed in the 2014 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo IMSA North American Racing Series. It originally had a Bianco Monocerus (Bright White) finish but was wrapped in blue with sponsorship graphics. Driven by Cody Ware under Rick Ware Racing, it contested eight races, securing an Amateur Class win at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and a third-place finish at Watkins Glen International.

One of just 110 Gallardo Super Trofeo models built from 2009-2014, only 20 were produced for 2013, with just 10 allocated to the U.S., making it exceptionally rare. With fewer than 2,600 miles, this example is a highly desirable collectors piece.
