It’s the second act in Sant’Agata’s High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) saga after Revuelto, and it arrives with numbers that read like a dare.
“This car completes a key chapter in our Direzione Cor Tauri strategy, making us the first luxury automotive brand to fully hybridise our entire model range. We entered a new era, one that pushes the boundaries of the super sports segment and paves the way for even greater ambitions.”
Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman & CEO, Automobili Lamborghini
Under the engine cover sits a new 4.0-litre biturbo V8; clean-sheet, 200 CV per litre, and capable of revving to 10,000 rpm. It’s yoked to three electric motors (one axial-flow unit in P1 position within the V8 housing, plus two on the front axle) for a combined 907hp.
0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and 343 km/h flat out. The clever bit is how it feels getting there: the e-motor fills the low-rev trough, then the V8’s linear surge takes over and just… doesn’t stop. Limitless progression, as the engineers like to say.
“With its twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain, the Temerario delivers unrivalled power and refined comfort, embodying the best of Lamborghini. It is the ultimate fusion of bold design, explosive performance, and unmatched versatility. As a true Fuoriclasse, the Temerario forges an emotional connection with drivers of all levels, redefining the super sports car segment.”
Francesco Scardaoni, Region Director, Asia Pacific
Lamborghini’s new full-aluminium spaceframe does two jobs at once: it sharpens the car on circuit while improving comfort and cabin space. Compared with the Huracán, you get +34 mm headroom, +46 mm legroom, and better forward visibility.
Even drivers up to 200 cm tall can run laps with a helmet on. There are 112 litres beneath the front lid and extra stowage behind the seats.
Every surface pays rent. The hexagonal DRLs hide aero trickery and sensors; channels beneath the lamps cool the brakes; the roof’s central spine and the integrated rear spoiler manage flow cleanly.
Compared with Huracán EVO, rear downforce is up 103%, and with the Alleggerita Pack (lighter bits inside, carbon rims, and further aero work) load increases up to 158%.
Inside, the brief reads “feel like a pilot.” Carbon, leather and Corsatex microfibre are layered with a watchmaker’s restraint; hexagonal vents nod to the house code. The Lamborghini Vision Unit ushers in the brand’s most advanced multimedia experience yet.
Two red-crowned rotors on the steering wheel chart your mood. On the left: Città, Strada, Sport, Corsa and Corsa Plus (ESC Off). Hold the chequered flag for Launch Control. On the right sit the hybrid brains: Recharge, Hybrid and Performance. Thirteen distinct “experiences” in total, from whispering through town to drawing tyre-scrub commas on kerbs.
Does the Temerario drive like a Lamborghini should? The numbers shout “yes,” but it’s the cadence that convinces: the elastic shove of the e-motor, the scalpel edge of the new chassis, the way the aero steadies your hands when the scenery turns impressionist.
In an age where hybrids can feel like spreadsheets on wheels, this one feels gloriously alive.
