The Lamborghini Temerario replaces the Huracán as the automaker's entry-level supercar, and adopts a plug-in hybrid powertrain like the flagship Revuelto.
The unveiling of a new Lamborghini is always an event, partly because genuinely new Lambos appear at the same frequency as comets and partly because the Italian automaker has cultivated an image of lunacy that makes neighbors Ferrari and Maserati look stuffy by comparison. But that doesn’t mean Lamborghini can phone things in.
All about the engine Named after a Spanish fighting bull in proper Lamborghini tradition, the Temerario uses a plug-in hybrid system similar to the Revuelto, with three electric motors, a 3.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission connected to an internal-combustion engine that’s really the star of the show. But instead of the Revuelto’s naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, or its predecessor’s 5.
Inevitable weight gain Comprised of pouch cells, the battery pack is mounted in the central tunnel where the transmission would normally be. This helps keep the center of gravity as low as possible, which is important for handling, but meant the gearbox had to be moved to an unusual transverse position behind the engine, which in turn sits behind the passenger compartment.
Stylish and functional exterior The Temerario’s predecessor, the Huracán, gradually sprouted more complex aerodynamic elements during its long production run. This time, Lamborghini is building more of them in from the start. Many screens with many views The interior features more room and more screens than the outgoing Huracán. The new chassis allows for 1.3-inch and 1.8-inch increases in headroom and legroom, respectively. Crucially for a supercar that requires a racetrack to get the full experience, Lamborghini claims drivers who are 6 feet tall can comfortably sit in the Temerario wearing a helmet.
