Lamborghini is accelerating its move towards electrification with the launch of the 907-horsepower Temerario, a new hybrid supercar that signifies the brand’s shift towards hybrid technology.
The company introduced the Temerario at Monterey, California, during its annual Car Week, highlighting the car’s role as the successor to the best-selling Huracán, which saw over 20,000 units sold before production ended this year.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann explained that “Temerario,” meaning “courageous” in Spanish, is also the name of a fighting bull from 1875.
He emphasized the importance of this model in a competitive market, with hopes that it will surpass the success of the Huracán.
The Temerario maintains Lamborghini’s iconic supercar aesthetics with a sharp, wedge-shaped design and minimal body lines, which contribute to a significant improvement in aerodynamics.
Inside, the car offers more space and advanced technology, featuring three main displays and wireless connectivity options.
The most notable change is the switch from a V10 engine to a hybridized V8, producing over 800 horsepower with the help of three electric motors and a battery. This setup enables the car to achieve 0-62 mph in just 2.7 seconds and a top speed exceeding 213 mph. Additionally, Lamborghini has added a drift mode for controlled oversteering.
Lamborghini is yet to announce pricing for the Temerario, which is set to hit the market next year. The previous Huracán models were priced between $250,000 and $350,000.
