The Lamborghini Huracán is gone, which implies its beautiful naturally aspirated V-10 engine is lifeless, too. However followers of quick Lamborghinis needn’t fear, there’s a brand new tremendous sports activities automotive from Sant’Agata Bolognese that guarantees to be much more thrilling: Meet the Lamborghini Temerario.
Lamborghini calls the Temerario a Excessive-Efficiency Electrified Car—or, HPEV—and it packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 plug-in hybrid setup with three electrical motors. Complete output is 920 horsepower, and it takes the Temerario simply 2.7 seconds to achieve 62 miles per hour. High velocity is 211 miles per hour.
Lamborghini constructed this new V-8 engine from the bottom up. It has a 90-degree “Scorching V” configuration and a flat-plane crankshaft, with two turbochargers working a most strain of 36 psi. Forged aluminum alloy cylinder heads and titanium connecting rods assist maintain the load down, whereas Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated finger followers within the valvetrain make sure the engine can spin as much as 10,000 rpm.

Three oil-cooled, axial-flux electrical motors be part of the V-8. Lamborghini caught the rear motor between the engine and the transversely mounted eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. That electrical motor alone produces as much as 150 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque. The opposite two motors, positioned on the entrance axle, drive the entrance wheels and make 82 hp every. Sure, this new Lambo is all-wheel drive—however don’t be concerned, there’s a “Drift Mode” perform that deploys torque on the rear wheels at three various energy ranges. The Temerario additionally has a launch management perform.
The battery pack has a capability of three.8 kilowatt hours. Plug the Temerario into a conventional AC charging port with as much as 7 kilowatts of energy, and the battery will recharge in half-hour. It will also be recharged by way of regenerative braking, or straight from the V-8 in as little as 6 minutes. You possibly can drive utilizing the entrance electrical motors solely, however Lamborghini would not checklist an EV driving vary for the Temerario.
Visually, the Temerario seems to be like a mixture of the bigger Revuelto and the outgoing Huracán. The headlights take up a small sliver of every nook of the hood—they’re slimmer even than the Huracán’s—and classy hexagonal LED working lights sit simply beneath them on both sides of the entrance bumper. The Temerario has staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels with cast or carbon-fiber choices.

In profile, the Temerario isn’t as glossy because the Huracán. It introduces a bigger aerodynamic vent simply forward of the rear wheels that improves downforce by 103% in comparison with the Huracán Evo.
The Temerario Alleggerita light-weight bundle—with a bigger rear wing, distinctive bumper therapies, and carbon fiber rims—debuts at launch and touts a 158% improve in downforce over the Huracán Evo, and a 55-pound weight discount over the usual Temerario. Tack on the Carbon Pack, and that drops one other 4 kilos by way of the usage of carbon on the rear diffuser, mirror caps, and facet air intakes.
Beneath the pores and skin is a brand new light-weight chassis. As an alternative of the Huracán’s blended aluminum and carbon-fiber construct, the Temerario’s chassis is solely aluminum. That yields a 50% drop in materials use, 80% fewer heat-welded joints, and a 20% improve in torsional rigidity. It additionally helps maintain the load down.

Inside, the Tememerario has a cockpit-style cabin plagued by hexagonal parts. Headroom improves by 1.3 inches over Huracán, and legroom improves by as much as 1.8 inches. Even a 6-foot 6-inch NBA participant may put on a helmet on this automotive, says Lamborghini.
An 8.4-inch vertical touchscreen graces the middle of the sprint, whereas the motive force has entry to a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and the passenger has a barely smaller 9.1-inch touchscreen show.
One factor we don’t know but is how a lot the Lamborghini Temerario prices. The outgoing Huracán Evo began at round $300,000 within the US, so it wouldn’t be out of the realm of risk that the Temerario prices round $400,000 and even $500,000. We’ll know extra concerning the Lamborghini Temerario when it goes on sale later this yr or early in 2025.
