Lamborghini Unveils V8-Hybrid Temerario Supercar at Monterey Car Week
Introduction
Lamborghini has revealed its latest supercar, the Temerario, at Monterey Car Week. This V8-hybrid plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) replaces the Huracan and boasts impressive performance figures.
Power and Performance
- The Temerario features a triple-motor V8 PHEV powertrain, producing a total of 907 horsepower.
- Despite its increased weight, the Temerario accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.7 seconds.
- The top speed has also increased to 213 mph.
Engine and Technology
The Temerario is equipped with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, featuring a hot-vee turbo configuration and a flat-plane crank.
Lamborghini has incorporated advanced materials and technologies to ensure the engine can handle high rotational forces, including a motorsport-grade cast aluminum crankcase and titanium conrods.
Electric Powertrain
The Temerario’s powertrain includes three electric motors, two of which are located at the front to provide all-wheel drive and torque vectoring capabilities.
The third motor, positioned between the V8 engine and the eight-speed transmission, acts as a starter generator and fills in the torque curve to minimize turbo lag.
Design and Features
The Temerario features a sleek and chiseled design, with slim LED headlights and a high-mounted center exhaust.
Inside, the Temerario offers a configurable digital gauge cluster, a portrait touchscreen, and a flat-bottom steering wheel with drive mode selector.

Customers can also opt for the “Alleggerita” package, which includes lightweight carbon fiber components to further enhance performance.
Conclusion
The Lamborghini Temerario is a powerful and technologically advanced supercar that combines a V8 engine with hybrid electric capabilities. With its impressive performance figures and striking design, the Temerario is sure to attract attention at Monterey Car Week and beyond.
