Lamborghini has pulled the wraps off its latest electrified hypercar—the Temerario. Boasting a hybrid twin-turbo V8 powertrain producing a monstrous 920 hp, the Temerario sets new benchmarks for performance and technology.
Unveiled at the 2024 Monterey Car Week, the cutting-edge Temerario features a bespoke 4.0L twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors, allowing it to rocket from 0-62 mph in just 2.7 seconds. Its top speed exceeds 213 mph. Lamborghini states this is the first production supercar engine to reach 10,000 rpm.
But it’s not just straight-line speed. The Temerario debuts a new lightweight aluminum spaceframe chassis and four-wheel steering for agile handling. Aerodynamics have been honed for high-speed stability too, with the hexagonal design theme maximizing airflow.
Inside, the interior takes inspiration from aviation with a “feel like a pilot” concept. The low-slung driving position, digital displays and racing-style steering wheel aim to immerse the driver in the experience. There’s also more interior space and comfort than previous Lamborghini supercars.
On the tech front, the Temerario introduces Lamborghini’s new Vision Unit system with three cameras recording performance telemetry and track footage. This allows drivers to analyze their technique and share driving experiences via the Lamborghini Unica app.
With a focus on versatility, the Temerario offers different driving modes for road and track, plus a drift mode. The hybrid all-wheel drive system enables torque vectoring for sharper turn-in and handling. Lamborghini states this is their most advanced car ever in terms of multimedia and connectivity.
The cutting-edge Temerario reinforces Lamborghini’s transition towards electrification. As the second model in their high-performance hybrid range and a worthy successor to the Revuelto, it brings supercar thrills with everyday drivability. According to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the Temerario sets “a new benchmark in the super sports car segment.” Expect more electrified Lamborghinis as the Italian marque charges towards a high-performance sustainable future.
