Leschiutta brings over 30 years of high-level motorsport experience, most recently with BMW’s LMDh program. He reports directly to Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini’s Chief Technical Officer.
Leschiutta’s leadership begins with the 2025 Daytona 24 Hours, where Lamborghini debuts its SC63 in the IMSA GTP class with factory drivers Mirko Bortolotti, Romain Grosjean, Daniil Kvyat, and Edoardo Mortara. Lamborghini will also compete in GTD Pro with Pfaff Motorsports and drivers Andrea Caldarelli, Jordan Pepper, and Marco Mapelli.
His responsibilities include the continued development of the SC63, the Huracán GT3 EVO2’s global GT racing efforts (including DTM, GT World Challenge Europe, British GT, and Italian GT), and the management of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series in Europe, North America, and Asia. He will also oversee the development and launch of the new Temerario GT3, slated for testing and unveiling in 2025.
Leschiutta’s extensive background includes 11 years in Formula One specializing in engine development before transitioning to GT racing. His recent leadership in BMW’s LMDh program makes him a valuable asset to Lamborghini’s motorsport division.
