Lamborghini has officially pulled the sheets off the Temerario, a 920-horsepower plug-in hybrid supercar that marks the end of an era for naturally aspirated V10 engines in Sant’Agata Bolognese. The Temerario replaces the beloved Huracán after a decade-long production run, introducing forced induction and electrification to Lamborghini’s “entry-level” supercar lineup.
This isn’t just evolution—it’s a complete reinvention of what a baby Lambo can be.
Lamborghini Temerario Powertrain: Twin-Turbo V8 Meets Electric Muscle
At the heart of the Temerario sits an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that screams to 10,000 rpm—a stratospheric redline that puts most dedicated race engines to shame. This compact powerplant generates 800 horsepower on its own, but Lamborghini didn’t stop there.
Three electric motors join the party: one mounted between the engine and the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and two more powering the front axle independently. Combined system output hits 920 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, catapulting the Temerario from 0-62 mph in just 2.7 seconds.
Top speed? A thoroughly impressive 211 mph.

Design Philosophy: Sharper, Meaner, More Aggressive
The Temerario’s design language borrows heavily from its big brother, the Revuelto, with sharp hexagonal shapes and aggressive aerodynamic elements dominating every surface. The front end features active aerodynamics that adjust based on driving mode, while the rear showcases a distinctive hexagonal taillight design that’s become Lamborghini’s new signature.
At 179.3 inches long and 47.8 inches tall, the Temerario is slightly larger than the outgoing Huracán, providing more interior space without sacrificing the low-slung supercar stance. Weight distribution sits at a near-perfect 43:57 front-to-rear split, aided by strategic placement of the battery pack and electric motors.
Technology and Driving Modes
Lamborghini has equipped the Temerario with 13 different driving modes accessed through the redesigned cockpit interface. These range from pure electric city mode to track-focused performance settings that unleash the full fury of the hybrid powertrain.
The electric motors enable torque vectoring at the front axle, giving the all-wheel-drive system unprecedented precision when rotating through corners. Lamborghini claims this setup provides “neutral handling characteristics” that make the car more accessible to drivers of varying skill levels—though 920 horsepower still demands respect.
Interior Upgrades
Inside, drivers face a completely redesigned cabin featuring a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch central touchscreen, and a passenger display screen. The hexagonal theme continues throughout the interior, from air vents to switch gear.
Unlike some rivals, Lamborghini has retained physical controls for critical driving functions, recognizing that touchscreens and supercars don’t always mix well at triple-digit speeds.
Pricing and Availability
Lamborghini hasn’t announced official U.S. pricing yet, but industry insiders expect the Temerario to start around $280,000—a significant premium over the outgoing Huracán’s $250,000 entry price. First deliveries are scheduled for late 2025, with the order books already filling rapidly.
European pricing starts at approximately €280,000 before taxes and customization options, which Lamborghini customers traditionally embrace with enthusiasm.
The Bigger Picture: Lamborghini’s Electrified Future
The Temerario represents more than just a model replacement—it’s a crucial step in Lamborghini’s electrification strategy. By 2030, the brand plans to offer only plug-in hybrid or fully electric vehicles, making the Temerario a bridge between the naturally aspirated past and the battery-powered future.
Purists will mourn the loss of the Huracán’s screaming V10, but Lamborghini argues that the Temerario’s 10,000-rpm V8 and electrified performance deliver an experience that’s equally thrilling, just different. Early reviews from international media suggest they might be right.
The supercar landscape is changing rapidly, and Lamborghini is betting that 920 electrified horses will help the Temerario carve its own legendary status—just as the Huracán did over its remarkable ten-year reign.
