The Lamborghini Temerario made its global debut on August 16, 2024, in Monterey, succeeding the iconic Huracán as Lamborghini’s first twin‑turbo 10000 RPM V8 hybrid supercar. It represents a major step in the brand’s electrification, combining raw power with modern hybrid engineering.
In India, Lamborghini officially launched the Temerario on April 30, 2025, with an ex-showroom price starting at INR ₹6.00 crore (~USD 730,000).
Powertrain & Performance
- Engine: A bespoke 4.0 L “hot‑V” twin‑turbo flat-plane crank V8 producing 800 PS (789 hp / 588 kW) at 9,000–9,750 rpm, with redline at 10000 rpm.
- Torque: 730 Nm from 4,000-7,000 rpm.
- Hybrid System: Three axial‑flux electric motors, one between engine and transmission (~148 hp) and two up-front, paired with a ~3.8 kWh battery pack (from Revuelto). Combined output is 907 hp (920 PS / 677 kW) and ~590 lb‑ft (800 Nm) torque.
Performance figures:
- 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, with test figures closer to 2.4 seconds, 0-60 mph and a quarter-mile in ~9.9 s.
- Top speed approx 343 km/h (~213 mph).
Chassis, Aerodynamics & Weight
- Spaceframe Chassis: All-aluminium chassis with high-pressure castings reduces material by 50%, welds by 80%, and increases torsional rigidity by ~20%.
- Kerb Weight: ~1,715 kg dry, or 1,690 kg with the optional Alleggerita lightened package (~25 kg saved through carbon-fibre components).
- Aerodynamics: Offers 103% more downforce vs. Huracán EVO; Alleggerita boosts aero efficiency to 158%.
Exterior Design
- Bold “shark‑nose” front end with slim, hexagonal LED DRLs; aggressive rear spoiler and centrally‑mounted exhaust.
- Wheel setup: 20″ front and 21″ rear, with cast, forged, or carbon-fibre options. Multiple colours via Ad Personam personalisation.
Interior & Technology
- Fighter-jet inspired cockpit featuring a 12.3″ digital instrument cluster, 8.4″ central touchscreen, and 9.1″ passenger display, all integrated via a single HMI system with swipe functionality.
- Increased interior space over Huracán: ~34 mm more headroom and 46 mm more legroom; ergonomic 18‑way adjustable comfort seats (heated/ventilated) with carbon-fibre sporty options.
Technology suite:
- LDVI 2.0 vehicle dynamics system with torque vectoring, integrated traction control, and adjustable drift modes (three intensity levels).
- Connected features include telemetry, dashcam with Vision Unit, augmented‑reality navigation, and real‑time data logging.
Driving Modes & Dynamics
- All-Wheel Drive + Drift Capability: Drift mode allows controlled rear-wheel slide; standard drive modes: Città (electric), Strada, Sport, Corsa plus hybrid modes (Recharge, Hybrid, Performance), enabling up to 13 unique mode combinations.
- Brakes & Suspension:
- Carbon-ceramic disc brakes: 410 mm front with 10‑piston callipers, 390 mm rear with 4‑piston callipers.
- Double wishbone suspension with Lamborghini Magneride adaptive damping; claimed 0–100 km/h‑to‑0 stopping distance: 32 m.
Practical Aspects
- Seating & Storage: Two-seat layout, modest front trunk (frunk) space plus rear storage nook. More usable than Huracán for short trips and the airport, etc.
- Customisation: The Ad Personam program allows a wide selection of paints, trims, wheel finishes, and interior themes to tailor each car uniquely.
Summary
The Lamborghini Temerario delivers a sophisticated and performance-driven evolution for the brand: a thrilling hybrid V8 supercar package with 10000 rpm+ revs, nearly 1,000 hp system output, race‑inspired aero & chassis engineering, and modern usability in both road and track settings. Its entry into the Indian market opens supercar ownership to enthusiasts drawn to raw speed, hybrid tech, and bespoke personalisation.
