LAMBORGHINI has officially taken the wraps off its newest hybrid supercar — the Temerario — a high-performance machine that blends cutting-edge electrification with unmistakable Sant'Agata soul.
Packing 920 horsepower under its sculpted carbon fiber skin, the Temerario launches from 0 to 100 kph in just 2.7 seconds, setting a new benchmark in Lamborghini's road car lineup.
The heart of the Temerario is a new twin-turbocharged V8 engine, paired with three electric motors and a high-performance battery pack as part of Lamborghini's High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) architecture. This setup delivers blistering acceleration, razor-sharp throttle response, and over 340 kph top speed — firmly placing the Temerario in hypercar territory.
More than just speed, the Temerario introduces a brand-new sound signature, crafted to heighten driver emotion with every surge of power. The hybrid system isn't just for performance — it also improves responsiveness at lower speeds and enhances torque delivery throughout the rev range. With power distributed to all four wheels, the supercar also benefits from exceptional traction and dynamic stability, whether on winding roads or full-tilt down a straight.
In terms of design, Lamborghini stays true to its radical DNA. The Temerario's exterior features a sharp, shark-nosed front end, integrated active aerodynamics, and a new hexagonal daytime running light signature — all wrapped in a lightweight, aerodynamic body that's both functional and visually arresting. Every surface is shaped to cut through the air or channel it for downforce and cooling.
Inside, the Temerario brings together digital precision and tactile craftsmanship. The cockpit is trimmed in carbon fiber, fine leather, and Corsatex microfiber, with an emphasis on driver focus and comfort. The seating position is lower and more ergonomic than its predecessor, giving the driver a stronger connection to the road. Lamborghini has also managed to increase cabin space, making long-distance drives more bearable without compromising the "racing cockpit" feel.
The model completes Lamborghini's hybrid transition, following the launches of the Revuelto and Urus SE, and represents a major milestone in the brand's electrification roadmap. It is the second vehicle to ride on the HPEV platform, designed specifically to deliver both sustainable performance and unfiltered driving excitement.
A special lightweight variant, the Temerario Alleggerita, has also been introduced. It features a lighter chassis, enhanced aerodynamics, and stripped-down components to deliver an even more visceral driving experience.
The Temerario doesn't just tick the boxes of electrification and performance — it tears through them. It's loud, aggressive, and brutally fast, yet grounded in the unmistakable character of a true Lamborghini. Hybrid or not, this car proves that Sant'Agata isn't slowing down anytime soon.
