The Temerario (2025) is the mid-engine Lamborghini that replaces the Huracan, and it's a clean break from that car. Where the Huracan used a naturally aspirated V10, the Temerario runs an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 designed in-house at Sant'Agata Bolognese, paired with three electric motors and a plug-in battery for a combined 907 hp (920 CV). It's the third and final car in Lamborghini's electrification plan, after the Revuelto and the hybrid Urus, and it sits on a new all-aluminum spaceframe rather than the Huracan's platform. Mitja Borkert and Lamborghini Centro Stile styled it; it was revealed at Monterey Car Week in August 2024.
The V8 is controversial. It's Lamborghini's first turbocharged road-car V8, a high-revving flat-plane-crank unit with the turbos tucked between the banks. One electric motor sits between the engine and the new 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and two more drive the front axle, giving torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. The 3.8 kWh lithium battery makes this a genuine plug-in: you charge it from a wall outlet, and a city mode lets the car creep along silently on electric power for short stretches.
Lamborghini says the Temerario's V8 is the first production super-sports-car engine able to reach 10,000 rpm. The flat-plane crankshaft, short stroke, and titanium connecting rods are what let it spin that high. In practice the max engine speed is 10,250 rpm.
