2025 Lamborghini Temerario revealed with plug-in hybrid V8

The 2025 Lamborghini Temerario has been unveiled as the successor to the ten-year-old Huracan.

Gone is the Huracan's V10 engine, with the Temerario powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 mated with a plug-in hybrid system, aided by three electric motors – providing a maximum combined power output of 676kW.

Two of the electric motors drive the front wheels – making the Temerario front-wheel-drive when in electric mode, a first for Lamborghini – while the third electric motor is mounted between the V8 engine and the transmission, also working as a starter motor and generator.

Though Lamborghini hasn't quoted a driving range when the Temerario is in electric mode, the 3.8kWh battery and hybrid system are shared with the Revuelto, which can drive up to 10 kilometres on battery power alone.

A new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission drives the rear wheels, and is both lighter and faster than the seven-speed transmission fitted to the Huracan – providing all-wheel-drive grip when combined with the electric motors on the front axle.

Lamborghini says the V8 can spin at up to 10,000rpm, while the twin turbochargers produce up to 2.5 bar (36psi) of boost pressure – with the 300Nm electric motor attached to the engine filling the turbo-lag from initial take-off.

Despite fewer cylinders, the plug-in hybrid system makes the Temerario a little over 80kg heavier than the Huracan Evo, with a dry weight of 1690kg.

All of which allows for a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 2.7 seconds, on the way to a claimed top speed of 340km/h.

Inside, the driver gets a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, with an 8.4-inch centre screen looking after infotainment duties. A slim 9.1-inch screen also sits ahead of the passenger and provides driving data such as speed.

Underpinned by an aluminium spaceframe chassis offering a 20 per cent increase in torsional rigidity, the Lamborghini Temerario can accommodate occupants up to 200cm tall – plus helmets – ensuring the model can cater for professional sports players.

Legroom and visibility are also said to be improved, while buyers can option 18-way comfort seats offering heating and ventilation.

The Temerario has a sound system from Italian company Sonus faber, while a sound 'symposer' creates different synthetic background soundtracks depending on the driving mode selected.

However, thanks in part to a flat-plane crank, engineers from the Italian car maker have worked to ensure the Temerario delivers a unique supercar engine noise synonymous with Lamborghini models.

Sitting behind a set of 20x9-inch wheels at the front and 21x11.5-inch wheels at the rear are a set of carbon-ceramic brake discs with monoblack calipers.

The 10-piston calipers at the front grip 410x38mm discs, while the four-piston calipers are coupled with 390x32mm discs at the rear.

Not including mirrors, the Temerario is 16mm wider than a LandCruiser 300 Series, at 1996mm wide, 1201mm high, 4706mm long, and with a wheelbase of 2658mm.

Aerodynamics have also been significantly improved, providing 103 per cent more downforce than the Huracan Evo – or up to 158 per cent when the lightweight Alleggerita package is optioned.

Pricing has yet to be announced, but expect there to be a price increase for the 2025 Lamborghini Temerario compared with the Huracan Evo, which cost $525,803 before on-road costs.
