The Successor to the Huracán Now Forms the Entry Into the World of Lamborghini. But you certainly can’t call the 920 HP Temerario An Entry-Level Model.
Is the Temerario a bit spectacular?
Not yet, not yet, not yet … now! We pull the carbon fiber shift liver and the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission shifts to the next gear just before the maximum speed of 10,000. The digital speedometer can hardly keep up with it all, and at the end of the straight we are aldeady almost at 300 km/h, after which we have to brake hard. We are not in a racing car, but ‘just’ in a street car. To be precise, in the new Lamborghini Temerario, The Successor to the Huracán. Instead of its Atmospheric V10, The Temerario Has A V8 Biturbo Plus Three Electric Motors. This makes the Temerario the Next Hybrid After the Revuelto and the Urus SE. The name not only comes from a Spanish Fighting Bull, but in Italian it also mean something like ‘brave’. OR ‘RECKLESS’ If you choose the more negative explanation.
How fast is it?
With so much technology, the Temerario is heavy, what do you notice from that?
Just the first Lap, The Temerario Makes a Very Strong Impression in ‘Corsa’ Driving Mode. It Feels Agile and Predictable and Steers Very Directly, Even Thought There is No Rear Axle Steering. You Don’t Notice Much of the Higher Weight Compared to the Huracán. Lamborghini Specifics an Empty Weight or 1.690 kilos, Without Fluids. Ready to drive and with the driver on board, we are talking more about 1,800 kilos, which is anything but light. Given the System Power of 920 HP, The Impressive Acceleration of the Temerario is not even the Biggest Surprise. The way in which the v8 supported by three electric motors delivers its power is not only spectacular, but also unusual. The Power Development is just as linear as with an atmospheric engine, but at the same time the power delivery is just as fierce as with a turbo engine. We Notice That We Have To Restrain Ourselves From Shifting Up Too Early.
Bizarrely Many Revolutions for a Turbo Engine, More Than All Others?
But then we look at the digital tachometer, the scale of which Reaches no less than 12,000 rpm. Twelve Thousand! The v8 does not quite reach that extreme, but we have not yet experienced a speed of 10,000 with a turbo engine.
Is there really no turbo lag?
A turbo was? That is not there, thanks to the electric motors (two on the front axle, one between the v8 and the gearbox). The Maxim Torque is Already available at 4,000 rpm. What is special is that the v8 only delivers the maximum power of 800 hp between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm. It is Therefore Worth Going As Far as Possible, not only because of the power, but also because the flatplane v8 has own unique sound in this speed range. At the end of the straight we read 296 km/h before we have to brake hard. The Temerario Shares Its Carbon-Ceramic Braking System With 410-Millimeter Discs On The Front Axle with the Revuelto, AS well as the Electric front AXLE With Two Electric Motors, Each Good for 110 KW, which are response and torque vectoring/torque vectoring. As a driver you don’t notice anything of this, as it should be. The Temerario is Playful and Light-Footed and the Fine-Tuning of All Systems Deserves A Compliment. Our Test Car is finished in the Typical Lamborghini Color ‘Giallo’ and Has the Optional ‘Alleggerita’ Package. Thanks to the Large-Scale Use of Carbon Fiber, This Saves Approximately 25 Kils of Weight. It also Increases the Downforce by 67 percent and Improves Aerodynamic Efficiency by 62 percent. The full weight saving of 25 kilos can only be achieved in Combination with the very Exensive Carbon Fiber Wheels, Otherwise The Package Only Provides a Saving or 12.65 kilos.
What about drifting?
We switch to sport fashion with only rear-wheel drive and activate the drift program Specialy Developed for This Purpose With Three Levels. Unlike Some Competitors, the Systems here do not take about drifting, but only support the driver. Just on the first attempt we manage to drift with the lambo, which is not a matter of course with a mid-engine sports car with 920 HP. The Torque Vectoring and Traction Control Provide The Drift Angle. In The Last Part of the Drift, Negative Torque Vectoring Helps to Prevent Unpleasant Counter-Movements.
Are we going to forget the huracán now?
The Temerario, available from the Beginning of 2026, is Considerably More Lively Than Lamborghini’s Top Model Revuelto, and Even More Fun If You Drive It To The Limit. It is a horthy successor to the huracán. Our only real point of criticism is the sound. Just with comparence it to the v10 of the huracán, we expect more spectacle from a lamborghini in the acoustic field.
