Lamborghini Temerario Makes Global Debut With V8 Bi-Turbo Hybrid Powertrain

Lamborghini Temerario, an Italy-based luxury performance car manufacturer's newest V8 bi-turbo HPEV, has made its global debut at the Estoril race circuit in Portugal. For about 15 days, media, dealers, and owners tested the Temerario's capability on the 4.36km long track. The event showcased the vehicle's dynamic specifications, including Drift mode and launch control.

The Temerario is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine and three electric motors, making it capable of delivering maximum power output of 920 CV and 800 Nm of peak torque. The ICE engine produces up to 800 CV between 9,000 and 9,750 RPM. With the addition of electric motors, Lamborghini Temerario has become the first production super sports car to hit a maximum of 10,000 RPM.

It can sprint 0-100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds and achieve a top speed of 343 km/h. The hybrid powertrain setup comes with 13 driving modes for various environments, improving the vehicle's versatility from daily use to racetrack performance.

Lamborghini has optimized the Temerario's design to integrate a hybrid powertrain and also improve aerodynamic load, especially on the rear side. With this enhancement, the Temerario benefits from a +103% increase in downforce compared to its predecessor, which rises +158% in the Alleggerita version.

The Alleggerita package minimizes the vehicle's weight by over 25kg as it uses lightweight body and interior components. It also enhances aerodynamic efficiency by +67%. The addition of a new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission provides faster shifts and decreases CO2 emissions by up to 50% in full electric mode.

Moreover, Lamborghini Telemetry 2.0 enables drivers to relive their experiences with lap times and sector analysis. The application integrates with Apple Watch for heart rate monitoring during the drives on over 150 race circuits globally.

To make the luxury sports car even more personalized and exclusive, the Italian luxury car manufacturer has offered over 400 body colors and liveries through Lamborghini's Ad Personam program. The Upholstery options range from leather to ultra-light Corsa-Tex fabric in Dinamica microfiber. Its spacious cabin has Sonus Faber's audio system with seven speakers powered by a 750W amplifier.
