Spark Model's 1:43 resin replica documents one of the most recognisable Lamborghini entries in Japanese GT racing: car #87, fielded by Team JLOC in the GT300 class of the 2024 Super GT Championship. The drivers were Kosuke Matsuura and Natsu Sakaguchi, continuing JLOC's unbroken presence in Japan's premier GT series that dates back to 1999. The model renders the team's signature yellow-and-black livery, which has become a fixture on Super GT grids over a quarter century of competition.
The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 in Competition
Introduced in 2022, the Huracán GT3 EVO2 is the second major GT3 homologation of the Huracán platform. It carries a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 producing approximately 620 hp, mounted mid-rear in a configuration that has always defined Lamborghini's GT3 philosophy. Over the first EVO, the EVO2 brought revised aerodynamics, updated suspension geometry and improved cooling — changes that kept the platform competitive across global GT3 series well into the mid-2020s.
JLOC and 25 Years on the Super GT Grid
Team JLOC — Japan Lamborghini Owners Club — has raced Lamborghinis in Japan's top GT series since 1999, making it one of the longest-running and most recognisable Lamborghini customer racing programmes in Asia. In 2024 the team again campaigned the Huracán GT3 EVO2 under car number 87 in the GT300 class, which fields a wide mix of JAF-GT and FIA-GT3 machinery. Natsu Sakaguchi's presence in the cockpit is itself notable: female racing drivers remain genuinely underrepresented in scale model form, giving car #87 an additional layer of collector significance.
Spark Model's 1:43 Scale Model: Resin and Precision
Spark Model's SGT-series Super GT releases are resin-cast replicas produced with livery-accurate decals and photo-etched metal details — the brand's established approach for 1:43 racing models. The #87 JLOC entry is reproduced as it appeared in the 2024 GT300 class, with the yellow-and-black livery rendered across the Huracán GT3 EVO2 bodywork. Spark Model is the primary reference maker for Super GT in 1:43, and the SGT-series sits at the core of any serious Japanese GT collection.
In the Display Cabinet
Car #87 pairs naturally with other Spark Model Super GT 2024 GT300 releases from the same season, allowing a coherent grid-year display. Collectors tracing JLOC's history will want to set it alongside previous-season JLOC Huracán GT3 EVO entries from 2019–2023. The yellow-and-black livery also provides strong visual contrast against the white-and-red or monochrome schemes common in GT300, making it an anchoring piece rather than background filler. For those building a Huracán GT3 EVO2 cross-series set, it sits logically next to GT World Challenge and Super Trofeo EVO2 entries at the same scale.
