V8 Engine, Three Motors, One Purpose: The New Lamborghini Temerario

Lamborghini cars convey a particular lifestyle- a pulse of modern ambition forged by carbon fibre and energy of global cities. Whether you love Tokyo at midnight, Dubai at dusk, or Bengaluru for a night stretch, a ride in Lamborghini is always exciting.

Temerario, an Italian word for meaning reckless or daring, is the name of the new Lamborghini. Successor to Huracan's legacy, Lamborghini Temerario gearing up for the launch on April 30. As the name suggests, its for the wild souls.

According to Lamborghini CEO, Stephan Winklemann, "Temerario is the name of a fighting bull that fought in 1875, and Temerario means fierce and courageous." In that sense, the upcoming ultra-luxury car, Temerario with its fresh design, modern powertrain, is the latest daredevil amongst the supercars available in the Indian market.

What's Special?

Combining a new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motors and an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, the new Lamborghini blends traditional power with electric efficiency for a forward-thinking supercar experience.

It delivers 789 brake horsepower (BHP) between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm and 729 Newton-metres (Nm) of torque from 4,000 to 7,000 rpm. The three electric motors contribute an additional 148 BHP and 300 Nm, pushing the total output to 920 BHP and 800 Nm for impressive performance.

Visually, the Temerario trades Huracan's sweeping drama for sharp, squared LED DRLs, a low-slung, shark-like front. A central exhaust sits between hexagonal LED taillights, and rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels.

Accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (km/h) in just 2.7 seconds, the car achieves a top speed of 343 km/h. This is aided by large 410 mm front brakes with 10-piston callipers and 390 mm rear brakes with 4-piston callipers for strong stopping power.

And the inside? A hybrid system that includes a 3.8 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack, positioned in the car’s central tunnel. It charges fully in 30 minutes using a 7 kilowatt (kW) AC charger and can also recharge via regenerative braking or directly from the V8 engine, supporting short electric-only driving ranges.
