Lamborghini has come together with Swiss watchmaker Roger Dubuis to drop a new watch inspired by the Huracan GT3 EVO2.
The watch was revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where all the hottest new cars are currently being launched.
Officially called the Excaliber Spider Huracan White MCF, the watch is quite obviously inspired by the Lamborghini GT3 EVO2 race car.

It comes powered by an automatic movement – calibre RD630 – which was developed specifically for the Excaliber Spider Huracan line of watches.
Notable design links between this and the car include the honeycomb motif that has become a hallmark for Lamborghini recently.
The crown also draws directly on the design of the Huracan GT3 EVO2’s special racing lug nuts.
The strut-bar bridge at the top of the movement is also inspired by the design of the car’s V10 engine.
But the green, red, and yellow color scheme is the most obvious point of connection between the watch and the car.
The movement offers a power reserve of 60 hours as well, making what is quite a showy watch a rather practical piece in that sense.

Its 45mm titanium case should not only be light but durable as well.
Just 88 pieces will be made, although pricing hasn’t been confirmed for it.
However, previous watches in this Huracan line have been priced from $61,500.
The Huracan GT3 EVO2 it is based off is essentially the racing version of the STO.
It’s fully compliant with FIA 2022 regulations to be entered into GT3-class racing.
The same 640hp V10 and rear-wheel drive setup is retained from the STO, but comes wrapped in a lightweight carbon fiber body.
