Giorgio Sanna: “There has to be a wow effect”

Lamborghini will arrive in 2024 in Hypercar with an LMDh designed in partnership with Ligier. A leap forward for the almost sixty-year-old Italian firm whose competition department (Squadra Corse) will celebrate its tenth anniversary next year. With the Super Trofeo, the GT3 and now the Prototype, the range of competition cars is complete. Is this reasonable for a brand that sells less than 10 cars per year?

Giorgio Sanna: “There has to be a wow effect”

Giorgio Sanna - Director of Lamborghini Squadra Corse

Lamborghini will have a small gap compared to Cadillac, Ferrari, Peugeot ou Porsche who arrive at Le Mans in 2023. Did it take you a long time to make your decision?

Yes, we took the time to think. Above all, we have our own calendar, we do not look at others. Even if we had approval from management earlier, I don't think we would have taken part in Hypercar in 2023. We must take two elements into consideration: we are the youngest department dedicated to competition. Next, we are probably the smallest department. Within the Volkswagen group, a certain timing also had to be respected. 2024 has been the target date from the beginning.
