As we count down to the end of our holidays, Lamborghini decided to surprise us with the all-new Temerario. I’m sure the name has an interesting meaning, but I can’t be bothered to look it up. Admittedly, neglecting such details is a foolish approach to journalism, yet it’s a practice all too common among the established media. Anyway, the Lamborghini Temerario is the successor to the Huracan.

You may have heard about the 10,000 rpm headlines, which is somewhat concerning. I hope the engine is built to handle the stress of revving up to 10,000 revolutions per minute. This level of performance demands exceptional engine management and efficient lubrication to maintain smooth operation and proper temperatures. If not, expect to see a lot of Temearios going up in flames.

For me, the most notable aspect is that the Lamborghini Temerario features a hybrid system—though fortunately, it is not a plug-in hybrid. The Temerario, built on a new aluminium chassis, is powered by a 4.0-liter biturbo V-8 engine paired with three electric motors, generating a combined output of 907 hp.

It also includes a 3.8-kilowatt-hour battery situated between the V-8 engine and its eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. However, this new hybrid system does add a weight penalty, increasing the dry mass by over 272 kg. But the headline performance figures appear to be undimmed, 0-62 mph drops from 2.9 to 2.7 seconds

Inside, the Temerario will be equipped with the latest in passive, active, and digital technology. It features an 8.4-inch display on the center console, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 9.1-inch screen in front of the passenger seat.

The Temerario is set to launch globally in the third quarter of 2025, with pricing starting around $350,000.
