Lamborghini Temerario

Lamborghini has launched its latest supercar, the Temerario, in the Indian market at Rs 6 crore (ex-showroom). Essentially the successor to the Huracan, the Temerario is Lamborghini’s newest entry-level supercar that made its global debut in August 2024. However, unlike its last two predecessors, it ditches the naturally-aspirated V10 for a hybrid setup that consists of twin-turbocharged V8 mated to three electric motors. 

Visually, the Temerario’s design is arguably sleeker than its predecessor, featuring clean, more toned-down styling cues. The front end is characterised by an angular split headlamp setup with the upper units integrated into the sculpted bonnet and the lower units sporting a hexagonal shape and flanking the wide air dam. In profile, the supercar features prominent air vents behind the doors and at the base of the B-pillar. The rear buttresses of the car are slightly raised and give it a flowing profile. The rear deck of the car culminates in an integrated spoiler that sits right above a high-set exhaust. Other styling cues include hexagonal taillamps and a wide rear diffuser. 

Built on a new aluminium space frame chassis, the Temerario has improved cabin space over the Huracan with Lamborghini claiming that even a 6 foot 5 inch individual can now sit in relative comfort whilst wearing a helmet. The interior layout is now akin to that of the Revuelto, featuring a large central touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster and a third display for the co-driver. 

The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine churns out a peak output of 789 bhp between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm. The engine belts out a maximum torque of 730 Nm, available across a broad range from 4,000 to 7,000 rpm. Supporting this engine are three electric motors: two on the front axle and one integrated between the engine and the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Together, they produce a total system output of 907 bhp. The front motors generate a combined 220 kW and 2,150 Nm of torque, driving the front wheels, while the rear wheels receive power from the engine and the third electric motor.
