The Lamborghini Temerario arrives as the successor to the iconic Huracán, marking a significant shift for the Italian automaker. Ditching the beloved V-10, the Temerario embraces hybridization with a powerful V-8 engine supplemented by a trio of electric motors. This new powertrain, coupled with a striking aerodynamic design, propels the Temerario into the future of supercars.
A new era of Lamborghini powertrains
At the heart of the Temerario beats a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 engine. This powerhouse, with its turbos nestled in a hot-vee configuration, generates a formidable 789 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, sending power through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Lamborghini engineers meticulously crafted this engine, utilizing lightweight materials like titanium con rods and a flat-plane crankshaft, drawing upon their extensive motorsport experience.
The Temerario’s hybrid system elevates its performance to an exhilarating level. Two electric motors power the front axle, providing all-wheel drive capability and boosting total output to a staggering 907 horsepower. An additional electric motor, strategically positioned between the V-8 and the gearbox, smoothes out gear changes, mitigates turbo lag, and enhances responsiveness. This innovative setup allows the Temerario to achieve a claimed 0-62 mph time of 2.7 seconds while boasting a 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to its predecessor.
