Behold the Lamborghini Temerario, the brand new V-8 plug-in hybrid successor to the top-selling Huracán.
The brand new supercar made its debut on Friday in California as one of many stars of 2024 Monterey Automotive Week, and its arrival means Lamborghini is now a completely electrified model, because the Aventador-replacing Revuelto and the Urus SE SUV are additionally plug-in hybrids.
The Temerario title in Spanish roughly interprets to “reckless,” very like the automotive’s Revuelto large brother’s title which in Spanish interprets to “scrambled” or “unruly.” The title is becoming because the Temerario is actually a wild machine.
The automotive debuts a brand new aluminum chassis, much like what the Huracán used however not like the carbon-fiber design of the V-12-packing Revuelto. In line with Lamborghini, torsional rigidity is up and there is additionally more room for occupants. The automotive has additionally grown in dimension on the surface, seemingly as a result of additional {hardware} it has to pack. The size is simply over 185 inches, or about 10 inches greater than the Huracán. The load can be up, with the dry determine coming in at 3,725 kilos, versus about 3,330 for a comparable Huracán.

The additional {hardware} is as a result of plug-in hybrid powertrain which consists of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 and trio of electrical motors. The mid-mounted engine incorporates a flat-plane crankshaft and delivers a peak 791 hp by itself, thanks partly to the turbochargers blowing as much as 36 psi of cost air. The engine may rev all the best way to 10,000 rpm.
Just like the Revuelto, the Temerario options two electrical motors on the entrance axle, plus a 3rd sandwiched between the V-8 and transmission, on this case the 8-speed dual-clutch computerized discovered within the Revuelto and mounted transversely behind the engine similar to within the V-12 supercar. The third motor helps present torque fill for the V-8 to make sure energy supply is progressive like that of a racing engine, based on Lamborghini. It additionally serves because the starter motor and might get well vitality.
The mixed output is a formidable 907 hp, or sufficient for 0-62 mph acceleration in 2.7 seconds and a prime pace of greater than 210 mph. An electrical vary can be doable, because of a 3.8-kwh lithium-ion battery situated in a central tunnel.

A variety estimate hasn’t been supplied however designers centered on delivering an aerodynamic form to assist maximize the determine. The automaker stated the Temerario’s form reaches new heights when it comes to aerodynamic effectivity, helped partly by numerous channels designed to direct air stream.
The face of the automotive is considerably totally different to the Revuelto, and is characterised by slit-like headlights and huge daytime working lights with a hexagonal form. The automotive additionally has massive intakes on the prime of its rear fenders, plus an engine cowl that emphasizes the V-8 beneath. On the rear, a single exhaust tip is mounted excessive, whereas the rear fascia leaves the rear tires clearly in view, very like Lamborghinis of the previous.
Inside, there are numerous similarities to Revuelto, like a floating digital gauge cluster and a skinny digital show on the passenger facet of the sprint. An infotainment display with a portrait panorama sits within the middle of the sprint. The steering wheel is a brand new design for Lamborghini and options out there carbon accents. It additionally features a purple rotary dial for the drive modes.

Drivers of the Temerario have entry to a few powertrain modes—Recharge, Hybrid, and Efficiency—and 5 drive modes—Città (Metropolis), Strada (Road), Sport, Corsa (Race), and Corsa Plus (Race Plus). Corsa Plus is identical as Corsa but in addition shuts off the digital stability management, so no energy is minimize when driving on the restrict.
Essentially the most potent setup is the mixture of Efficiency and Corsa modes. Right here, the powertrain delivers its full output, with the engine at all times energetic to make sure the battery has a cost. The chassis programs are additionally set as much as ship their sharpest responses.
A price ticket for the Temerario hasn’t been introduced.
