Lamborghini’s latest beast, the Temerario, made its roaring debut at Portugal’s legendary Estoril Circuit — and it wasn’t just for show. Over two adrenaline-packed weeks, journalists, dealer reps from 56 global markets, and even some lucky owners put the hybrid supercar through its paces on the 4.36 km track. The verdict? This isn’t just the future of Lamborghini — it’s a whole new level of performance.
Hand-built in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the Temerario is Lamborghini’s next-gen High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV). Under the hood — or more accurately, behind your head — is a brand-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors, pushing out a combined 920 CV and 800 Nm of torque. The V8 alone hits a mind-blowing 10,000 rpm — a first for any production supercar.
With 13 driving modes, including a brand-new Drift mode and Launch Control, the Temerario is tuned for everything from your morning commute to full-on track domination. The numbers speak for themselves:
-
0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds
-
0–200 km/h in under 7.3 seconds
-
Top speed: 343 km/h
On Estoril’s 13 legendary corners — the same ones where Senna tested a V12 Lamborghini F1 engine back in ’93 — the Temerario showed off its improved handling and crazy aero upgrades. Thanks to its hybrid-optimized design, downforce is up by 103% over its predecessor — and an insane 158% with the Alleggerita lightweight package. That version drops over 25kg and boosts aero efficiency by 67%.
Drivers reported a razor-sharp response from the all-new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is more compact and shifts quicker than ever. Even better? The Temerario can run fully electric and cut CO2 emissions by up to 50% compared to the last-gen model.
For track junkies and data nerds, the Lamborghini Telemetry 2.0 app logs everything: lap times, sector splits, even heart rate integration via Apple Watch. It’s not just about chasing numbers — it’s about improving as a driver, one corner at a time.
And if personalization is your thing, Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program offers over 400 exterior colors, liveries, and custom interiors. New materials like ultralight Corsa-Tex in Dinamica® microfiber add both flair and function.
Slide into the spacious cabin (yes, there’s more headroom now), and you’re greeted by Lamborghini’s signature mix of fighter-jet drama and premium finishes. The bespoke Sonus faber audio system — designed exclusively for Temerario — packs seven independently driven speakers powered by a 750W Class‑D Dual DSP amp. Translation? Huge sound. Zero fatigue. Full immersion.
Lamborghini tapped Bridgestone as the exclusive tire partner for the Temerario. The lineup includes custom-developed Potenza Sport tires for road use, Potenza Race rubber for the track, and Blizzak LM005 winter tires for year-round performance. Every tire was designed using Bridgestone’s Virtual Tyre Development tech — a win for both performance and sustainability.
Even the launch event at Estoril was certified under ISO 20121 for sustainable event management — part of Lamborghini’s push to align performance with responsibility. From reducing environmental impact to championing social responsibility, Lamborghini is clearly looking beyond lap times.
The Lamborghini Temerario isn’t just a new chapter — it’s a complete rewrite of what a hybrid supercar can be. Whether you’re chasing apexes, carving up back roads, or spec-ing your dream ride, this machine proves Lamborghini hasn’t just kept up — it’s lapped the competition.
