Lamborghini Temerario

Model Overview

The Lamborghini Temerario is an all-new HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) supercar from the Italian exotic marque, serving as the official successor to the Huracán. The Temerario moniker upholds Lamborghini's heritage of naming models after legendary Spanish fighting bulls, making it the brand's second HPEV high-performance hybrid supercar following the flagship Revuelto. Its launch marks the full hybridisation of Lamborghini's entire product line-up, making it the first ultra-luxury automotive brand to achieve a 100% hybrid range. Packing a combined system output of 920 CV, a production V8 engine rev limit of 10,000 rpm, and a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 2.7 seconds, the Temerario establishes a new performance benchmark in the supercar segment. As of June 2026, global customer deliveries have commenced, with North American market prices starting from approximately USD 290,000.

Design Language

The Temerario's exterior design represents a striking evolution of Lamborghini’s signature design DNA, introducing fresh stylistic cues while preserving the quintessential mid-engine supercar proportions. The front fascia adopts a split-headlamp arrangement—featuring ultra-slim, sleek upper headlamp clusters paired with hexagonal ring-shaped LED daytime running lights (DRLs) embedded within the side air curtains, serving as its most distinctive visual signature. An aggressive carbon-fibre front splitter dominates the lower apron, lending it a menacing road presence. In profile, the supercar sits ultra-low to the tarmac with a steeply raked A-pillar flowing seamlessly into the black curved roofline, while the brand's iconic scissor doors are proudly retained. The rear is defined by a prominent carbon-fibre rear spoiler, an aggressive rear diffuser, and a centrally mounted hexagonal exhaust tailpipe.

In terms of dimensions, the supercar measures 4,706 mm in length, 1,996 mm in width, and 1,201 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,658 mm. Overall aerodynamic downforce is increased by an impressive 158% compared to the Huracán Evo, alongside a body weight reduction of over 25 kg. The new model offers over 400 bespoke exterior paint options, headlined by exclusive launch colours Blu Marinus (blue) and Verde Mercurius (green).

Inside, the cabin continues Lamborghini's signature "Feel Like a Pilot" design philosophy. It features a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch central infotainment touchscreen, and a 9.1-inch dedicated passenger display. Drawing inspiration from the Revuelto, the centre console features a fighter-jet-style start-stop button with a flip-up cover. Benefiting from the all-new architecture, cabin space is markedly more generous than the Huracán—with headroom increased by 34 mm, legroom up by 46 mm, and the driver’s field of vision widened by 4.8°, comfortably accommodating a 2-metre-tall driver wearing a helmet. Under the front bonnet, the front luggage compartment offers 112 litres of cargo capacity.

Powertrain & Performance

At the heart of the Temerario lies a bespoke 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, codenamed L411, engineered completely from the ground up by Lamborghini. It features a "Hot-V" configuration with turbochargers nestled inside the cylinder banks, alongside motorsport-derived hardware such as a flat-plane crankshaft, titanium connecting rods, and DLC-coated (Diamond-Like Carbon) finger followers. The combustion engine alone delivers a massive 800 CV (approx. 789 hp) between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm, with peak torque of 730 Nm on tap across a broad 4,000 to 7,000 rpm band. Its redline maxes out at a staggering 10,000 rpm, making it the world's first and only production supercar engine to achieve such high engine speeds.

For the hybrid powertrain, the twin-turbo V8 works in tandem with three electric motors (one P1 motor sandwiched between the engine and gearbox, and two on the front axle) to form an advanced plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system. The combined system output reaches a phenomenal 920 CV (approx. 907 hp), backed by 800 Nm of total torque. Power is channelled through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). On the performance front, it completes the century sprint from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 2.7 seconds, on its way to a top speed exceeding 343 km/h. Powering the electric motors is a 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, providing an all-electric zero-emission range of around 3.5 km.

Chassis & Handling

Underneath, the Temerario is built around an all-new aluminium spaceframe chassis. Utilizing high-pressure casting with newly developed high-strength alloys alongside hydroformed extrusions and thin-wall hollow castings, the new architecture cuts component count by over 50% and reduces welding by more than 80% compared to its predecessor, all while increasing torsional rigidity by 20%.

The chassis features front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension, paired with the advanced LMR (Lamborghini Magneride) electromagnetic active damping system. Rolling stock consists of 255/35 ZR20 front and 325/30 ZR21 rear high-performance Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres. Stopping power is handled by the Carbon Ceramic Brakes Plus (CCB Plus) system, featuring massive 410×38 mm carbon-ceramic discs with 10-piston fixed monobloc calipers up front, and 390×32 mm discs with 4-piston calipers at the rear. The 100-0 km/h braking distance is achieved in just 32 metres. Up to 13 distinct driving modes are available, catering to everything from daily commuting to flat-out track sessions. Standard ride height offers 120 mm of ground clearance, which can be raised to 170 mm via the front-axle lift system to negotiate road humps and steep ramps effortlessly.

For track enthusiasts, the optional Alleggerita Lightweight Package sheds over 25 kg when paired with carbon-fibre wheels, while boosting downforce by 67% and aerodynamic efficiency by 62%.

Cabin & Equipment

On the tech and convenience front, the Temerario is equipped with an upgraded Human-Machine Interface (HMI), supporting cutting-edge connected features including the Telemetry 2.0 track data recorder, Memories Recorder, and an integrated Dashcam. Steering-wheel-mounted rotaries allow the driver to effortlessly toggle through drive modes, including Città (City), Strada (Road), Sport (Sport), Corsa (Track), and Corsa Plus (Track+). The cockpit features lightweight carbon-fibre shell bucket seats trimmed in premium Alcantara. An ultra-crisp high-performance sound system is also equipped for superior acoustic quality.

Safety & Driver Assistance

In terms of safety, the Temerario comes equipped with comprehensive driver, front passenger, and side airbags. Its carbon-ceramic braking setup delivers exceptional stopping performance and fade resistance. Advanced driver assistance features include Lane Departure Warning, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and a high-resolution reverse camera. A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is also fitted as standard.

Market Performance & Reception

Since its global premiere at the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Temerario has garnered immense attention from enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. According to official figures, Lamborghini achieved a record-breaking 10,747 global deliveries in 2025. Serving as the crowning achievement of the brand’s full hybridisation roadmap, the Temerario is slated to commence official customer deliveries in China by late 2026.

From an industry perspective, the Temerario's 10,000-rpm V8 has been universally hailed as an engineering marvel. Automotive reviews highlight that the twin-turbo V8 "expertly merges the linear power delivery of Lamborghini's legendary naturally aspirated V10 with the staggering output and low-end torque of modern turbocharging". However, some automotive critics have pointed out its kerb weight—with an official dry weight of 1,690 kg, it is approximately 300 kg heavier than the lightest Huracán variant. Nonetheless, initial test drives confirm that the Temerario "disguises its mass brilliantly". Serving as a cornerstone of Lamborghini's "Direzione Cor Tauri" (Towards the Heart of the Bull) electrification roadmap, the Temerario charts an all-new course in the supercar arena by fusing a screamer 10,000-rpm V8 with a tri-motor hybrid setup, offering the ultimate balance of visceral track performance and daily usability.
