Lamborghini motorsport boss Sanna departs
The 48-year-old executive has stepped down from his position at Lamborghini and has been temporarily replaced by Rouven Mohr, who is also the chief technical officer of the brand. The departure was announced without specifying the reasons behind it, following the absenteeism of the former executive from a recent World Endurance Championship event.
Sanna played a significant role in Lamborghini’s entry into top-tier sportscar racing with the SC63 LMDh prototype, developed in collaboration with Ligier Automotive. After overcoming obstacles, including failed partnerships with other manufacturers, the SC63 made its low-key debut in the 1812Km event in Qatar. The car, fielded by the Iron Lynx team, finished 14th in the race.
Sanna’s career at Lamborghini began in 2001 as a test driver and evolved into leading the Lamborghini Squadra Corse motorsport department in 2015. During his tenure, Lamborghini achieved success in various GT3 competitions and the one-make Super Trofeo series. Sanna also has personal accomplishments as a driver, including winning championships in the Italian GT and Asian Le Mans series.
