In a symphony of speed, innovation, and Italian flair, Lamborghini has officially unleashed its next-generation High-Performance Electrified Vehicle: the Temerario. The global dynamic launch unfolded over 15 adrenaline-fueled days at Portugal’s historic Estoril Circuit, with the world’s media, Lamborghini dealers, and select customers among the first to take the wheel of the brand’s most technologically ambitious supercar to date.
Nestled in the heart of Sant’Agata Bolognese, the Temerario was conceived not just as a hybrid, but as a performance revolution. The new model introduces an entirely new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with three electric motors, combining to deliver a total output of 920 CV and 800 Nm of torque. The combustion engine alone generates 800 CV at a breathtaking 9,000–9,750 rpm and 730 Nm between 4,000–7,000 rpm—making it the first and only production supercar to reach a maximum 10,000 rpm.
At Estoril, Lamborghini’s ambitions were made tangible. Nearly 100 media representatives from around the globe joined the event to put the Temerario through its paces. They weren’t alone—dealers representing 56 markets, along with a handful of owners, also got their first taste of what Lamborghini calls “the ultimate fun-to-drive HPEV.”
Blistering Performance, Electrified Soul
On the 4.36-km track, the Temerario did more than just impress. With launch control activated, it rockets from 0–100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds, hits 200 km/h in under 7.3 seconds, and tops out at 343 km/h. Yet the numbers tell only part of the story.
Drivers explored 13 configurable driving modes designed to adapt the hybrid powertrain’s performance to every scenario—from urban cruising to full-attack circuit driving. On Estoril’s famed corners—where Ayrton Senna once tested the V12 F1-powered Lamborghini in 1993—the Temerario showcased new levels of grip and agility. Downforce at the rear is up 103% compared to its predecessor, with the Alleggerita version boasting a 158% increase. That Alleggerita package, available from launch, also trims more than 25 kg thanks to lightweight materials and delivers a 67% boost in aerodynamic load efficiency.
Advanced Tech, Inside and Out
The engineering doesn’t stop under the hood. Lamborghini has introduced a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that is both more compact and quicker-shifting. In full-electric mode, the Temerario cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 50% over its predecessor.
And thanks to Lamborghini Telemetry 2.0, drivers can analyze lap times, sector performance, and even overlay heart rate data from an Apple Watch to relive each drive with precision. The new infotainment experience blends cutting-edge data with Italian artistry.
Inside the reimagined cabin, occupants are treated to the acoustic signature of Sonus faber, with a bespoke 750W Class-D system. Tuned to the brand’s “Natural Sound” philosophy, it provides lifelike tonal accuracy across an extended frequency range from 30 Hz to 30 kHz—creating an immersive, fatigue-free soundstage befitting the Temerario’s expressive nature.
Customization also takes center stage. Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program allows buyers to choose from over 400 body colors and liveries, luxurious upholstery options in premium leather, and the ultralight Dinamica® microfiber Corsa-Tex fabric.
A New Era, On Every Surface
Partnering once again with Bridgestone, Lamborghini ensured the Temerario is ready for all terrains. The bespoke tyre range—developed using Bridgestone’s Virtual Tyre Development technology—includes the Potenza Sport for summer road performance, the Potenza Race for track domination, and the Blizzak LM005 for winter adaptability. All tyres are available in eight configurations across 20” and 21” dimensions, including a run-flat option.
Bridgestone now stands as Lamborghini’s exclusive tyre partner across its full range, including the Huracán STO, Tecnica, Revuelto, and now the Temerario.
Sustainable by Design
As part of Lamborghini’s growing commitment to environmental responsibility, the Temerario’s launch event was certified under ISO 20121 for sustainable event management. TÜV SÜD granted the certification, marking another milestone in Lamborghini’s plan to certify at least one key event annually under these standards—a commitment first launched in 2022.
From performance and engineering to luxury and sustainability, the Lamborghini Temerario signals a bold future. It’s not just a new chapter in hybrid super sports cars—it’s an entirely new language of speed.
