Automobili Lamborghini has made history by becoming the first luxury automotive company to hybridize its full product range. The unveiling of the Temerario, the brand’s new twin-turbo V8 hybrid super sports car, at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week in California, marks a significant milestone in Lamborghini’s electrification strategy. With a total power output of 920 CV, a top speed of over 210 mph, and acceleration from 0-62 mph in just 2.7 seconds, the Temerario sets a new benchmark for the super sports car segment.
The Temerario replaces the Huracán, Lamborghini’s best-selling super sports car, which first debuted in 2014. Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, emphasized the brand’s commitment to surpassing previous models in terms of performance with each new release. The Temerario achieves this by offering unparalleled performance, sportiness, and driving pleasure. Notably, it is the first production super sports car engine capable of reaching 10,000 rpm, a remarkable feat typically reserved for motorsports.
Winkelmann also highlighted the company’s electrification strategy, with the Temerario being the second Lamborghini HPEV and the third step in hybridizing the entire Lamborghini lineup. The Revuelto and Urus SE, the flagship and super SUV models, respectively, also feature hybrid technology. The Revuelto boasts a 6.5-liter V12 mid-engine with 1,015 CV and a top speed of over 217 mph, while the Urus SE is equipped with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine delivering 800 CV and a top speed of 194 mph.
In addition to its physical debut, the Temerario also made a virtual appearance in the Lamborghini Lab on Roblox, the brand’s official design and driving experience platform. Here, users can customize their own Temerario using colors and options from Lamborghini’s Ad Personam studio, and experience the thrill of driving their personalized supercar on the track, competing with friends and challengers worldwide.
The introduction of the Temerario and the hybridization of Lamborghini’s full product range demonstrate the brand’s commitment to innovation, performance, and sustainability. By embracing hybrid technology and electrification, Lamborghini is not only setting new standards in the automotive industry but also inspiring future generations of car enthusiasts. The Temerario represents a new era for Lamborghini, where cutting-edge technology meets iconic design to create a truly exceptional driving experience.
