Ten years after the launch of the Lamborghini Huracan, the Italian supercar maker just revealed the next generation of Huracan, “Temerario.” It gets a combination of electric motors and gasoline engine, and Lamborghini calls it an HPEV (High-Performance Electrified Vehicle). 

Read the official news release of Lamborghini Temerario.

The engine is unconventional and a complete redesign specifically for this vehicle. Unlike the regular V-series engine, which uses a 60-degree piston configuration, the Temerario engine gets a 90-degree “Hot V” configuration and two turbochargers that run at a max pressure of 36 PSI. Inside the V8 engine, connecting rods are made of titanium, and cast aluminum alloy cylinder heads keep the weight down and ensure that the engine can go all the way up to 10,000 RPMs smoothly and red lines at 9,500 RPMs.

The main oil-cooled electric motor joins the V8 in the rear axle, and it alone produces up to 150 HP and 221 Nm of torque. The other two motors are situated in the front axle, powering the front wheels and making 82 HP each. 

Main Highlights and Specs:

  • V8 Bi-Turbo – 4.0-litre Hot-V configuration
  • Max revs to 10,000 RPMs and red lines to 9,500 RPMs
  • Eight gears, DCT transmission
  • Combined output 920 HP power  and 538 Nm of torque
  • Three electric motors, one in the back and two in the front
  • Battery pack capacity is 3.8 kWh
  • Three driving modes: AWD, RWD, and FWD
  • Turbo maximum boosts up to 36 PSI
  • Max speed is 343 km/h
  • 0-100 km/h is 2.7 seconds

Lamborghini Temerario: authentic “Fuoriclasse”

Exterior, Body and Interior

Jumping to the exterior, Temerario introduced a larger aerodynamic vent on the side doors to keep the V8 engine cool and increase the downforce by 103% compared to Huracan. The overall profile is fierce and aggressive, and it uses modern design language, including LED lightbars like tube lights and slim headlights.

Underneath the outer body, there’s a new ultra-lightweight aluminum chassis that improves torsional rigidity by 20% and has 80% fewer heat-welded joints than its older sister, Huracan. 

Lamborghini Temerario interior

Jumping inside, the cockpit-style interior has hexagonal designs. Compared to Huracan, Temerario has 1.3 inches more headroom and up to 1.8 inches more legroom, making it spacious enough for even a 6-foot-6-inch NBA player to comfortably wear a helmet.

On the infotainment side, an 8.4-inch portrait touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver, and a 9.1-inch touchscreen for the passenger improve the grace of the vehicle.

Pricing

While the exact price is still unknown, it’s speculated to be between $400,000 and $500,000, given that the Huracán Evo started at around $300,000. More details will be available when the Temerario goes on sale later this year or early in 2025.
