The Huracan legacy! A 907bhp V8 that Redlines at 10,000RPM! Meet the new Lamborghini Temerario.

The Lamborghini Temerario marks a new chapter for the iconic Italian brand, stepping in as the successor to the Huracán and pushing the boundaries of what a Lamborghini can be. The Temerario represents a significant shift for Lamborghini, moving away from the beloved naturally aspirated V10 engine and embracing a hybrid powertrain that combines a twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors. This bold move positions the Temerario as a supercar that blends raw performance with a surprising focus on comfort, a balance that challenges traditional Lamborghini values.

At the heart of the Temerario is a brand-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, completely redesigned from the ground up. This engine alone delivers a staggering 789bhp, with power peaking between 9,000rpm and 9,750rpm, on its way to a redline of 10,000rpm—a remarkable feat for a turbocharged engine. When combined with the three electric motors, one situated between the engine and gearbox and two on the front axle, the Temerario’s powertrain produces a total output of 907bhp and 590lb-ft of torque. This setup catapults the car from 0-62mph in just 2.7 seconds and propels it to a top speed north of 211mph. In comparison, the outgoing Huracán Evo’s V10 managed 631bhp, making the Temerario a significant leap forward in terms of raw power.

Lamborghini has gone to great lengths to ensure that the Temerario retains the brand’s signature sound, despite the shift from a naturally aspirated engine to a turbocharged hybrid system. The twin-turbo V8 has been engineered with a flat-plane crankshaft, which not only contributes to the engine’s high-revving nature but also creates a unique sound that Lamborghini claims is ‘immense.’ The exhaust system has been meticulously designed, with a special connection between the V8’s banks and a smoothed pipe routing from manifold to tailpipe, enhancing the sound based on engine speed. The result is a soundtrack that Lamborghini promises will be instantly recognizable to fans of the brand, ensuring that the Temerario remains true to its heritage.

The introduction of a hybrid powertrain in a Lamborghini supercar might seem like a departure from tradition, but Lamborghini’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, sees it as a natural evolution. He notes that the decision to move away from the V10 was made years ago, driven by the need to create something truly exceptional and completely new. According to Winkelmann, the ambitions for outright power in the Temerario wouldn’t have been feasible with the old naturally aspirated V10. The new hybrid system not only meets these performance goals but also aligns with Lamborghini’s broader strategy of hybridizing its entire lineup, as seen with the earlier introduction of the Urus SE V8 hybrid.

While the Temerario’s power and performance are undoubtedly impressive, what sets this car apart is its focus on comfort—a word not often associated with Lamborghini. The new spaceframe is made entirely from aluminum, featuring hydroformed extrusions and an increased number of hollow castings with thin closed inertia sections. This structure is 20 percent stiffer than the outgoing Huracán’s, yet it’s also heavier, with a dry weight of 1,690kg. However, this added weight is offset by the car’s optimized aerodynamics, which Lamborghini claims make the Temerario 103 percent more aerodynamically efficient than the Huracán Evo, and even more so with the optional Lightweight Pack, which includes carbon fiber components that reduce the car’s weight by 12.65kg.

The interior of the Temerario reflects Lamborghini’s new emphasis on comfort and usability. The cabin is designed to offer unprecedented levels of comfort for a supercar, starting with increased headroom to accommodate taller drivers or those who prefer to wear a racing helmet. There’s also more luggage space, with a total of 112 liters available, making the car more practical for longer journeys. The seats are low-slung and offer 18-way adjustability, with options for heating and ventilation. For those who prefer a more race-focused experience, there’s an option for carbon fiber double-shell seats that wrap around the driver like a glove. The materials used throughout the cabin include carbon fiber, leather, and Corsatex microfiber, all contributing to a luxurious yet sporty atmosphere.

Lamborghini has also integrated a ‘pilot interaction’ philosophy into the Temerario’s interior, providing a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver, a 9.1-inch display for the passenger, and a central 8.4-inch display for controlling various functions. The graphics for these displays have been specially designed by Lamborghini, ensuring that the digital experience is as engaging as the driving experience. Additional features include onboard telemetry, a dashcam, augmented reality navigation, and a ‘Memories Recorder’ that allows drivers to capture and relive their driving experiences.

Despite the added focus on comfort, Lamborghini is adamant that the Temerario remains a true supercar at its core. The car is equipped with a range of driving modes that allow the driver to tailor its performance to different conditions. These modes include Città (FWD, fully electric), Strada, Corsa, and a new Drift mode, each offering a different balance of power delivery and handling characteristics. According to Winkelmann, the goal was to create a car that is easy to drive on the racetrack without being exhausting to drive in the city or on the highway.

The exterior design of the Temerario, while a clean-sheet creation, pays homage to past Lamborghini models with unmistakable character lines and advanced aerodynamics. The front end features hexagonal daytime running lights that double as aerodynamic elements, while the roof has a concave profile that directs air towards the rear spoiler. The underbody is equipped with vortex generators for optimal airflow towards the diffuser, further enhancing the car’s aerodynamic efficiency.

Lamborghini is clearly proud of what it has achieved with the Temerario, and the car’s name reflects its fierce and courageous character. Named after a fighting bull from 1875, the Temerario embodies the spirit of a true Lamborghini: powerful, aggressive, and unmistakably unique. Set to debut in the second half of 2025, the Lamborghini Temerario promises to redefine what it means to be a Lamborghini supercar, combining breathtaking performance with a level of comfort and usability that was previously unheard of in this segment.
