Lamborghini has officially introduced its newest supercar, the Temerario, to the Indian market, marking a bold leap into the high-performance hybrid era. As the spiritual successor to the much-loved Huracan, the Temerario isn’t just about replacing a best-seller—it’s about redefining what the next generation of Lamborghinis can be. Packed with cutting-edge technology and electrified muscle, this is one of the most advanced machines to roll out of Sant’Agata Bolognese.
Powertrain
The Temerario’s heart is a brand-new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. This is a departure from the Huracan’s naturally aspirated V10, but the performance jump is staggering. The V8 alone produces 800bhp and 730Nm of torque. That’s already a beast in itself, but Lamborghini didn’t stop there.
The engine is supported by three electric motors powered by a compact 3.8kWh battery. Together, the hybrid system boosts the total power output to a jaw-dropping 920bhp and 800Nm of torque. The rev limit? A sky-high 10,000rpm, giving you the aural thrill of a race car every time you floor it.
Paired to this setup is a fast-shifting eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, sending power to all four wheels. The Temerario rockets from 0 to 100kmph in just 2.7 seconds, and it won’t stop pulling until it hits 343kmph.
Here’s a quick look at the numbers:
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 |
| Electric Motors | 3 motors |
| Total Power Output | 920bhp |
| Torque | 800Nm |
| 0-100kmph | 2.7 seconds |
| Top Speed | 343kmph |
| Redline | 10,000rpm |
| Transmission | 8-speed dual-clutch |
Hybrid Tech
The hybrid setup uses a 3.8kWh battery, which might seem small but is optimized for performance, not long electric-only range. It can be charged in just 30 minutes using a 7kW charger. But most of the time, it will rely on regenerative braking to recharge on the move. The electric motors not only provide torque-fill during gearshifts and launches but also enhance all-wheel-drive capability, handling balance, and overall efficiency.
This hybrid architecture makes the Temerario one of the most technically advanced Lamborghinis ever built, aimed directly at rivals like the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren Artura.
Design and Tech
While full specs and visuals are still being rolled out, the Temerario is expected to feature Lamborghini’s signature wedge-like styling with new-age aerodynamic tweaks. Expect aggressive lines, active aero elements, and a cockpit designed with motorsport inspiration.
On the tech front, it’s also likely to get:
- A fully digital instrument cluster
- Multiple drive modes including electric-only
- Adaptive suspension and steering systems
- Advanced traction and torque vectoring
Pricing and Rivals
The Lamborghini Temerario is expected to be priced in the range of Rs. xx crore (price to be officially announced soon). At this level, it goes head-to-head with the Ferrari 296 GTB, another plug-in hybrid supercar that blends raw performance with cutting-edge electrification.
The arrival of the Temerario in India signifies a turning point for Lamborghini—it shows that even in the world of screaming acceleration and sharp handling, hybrid tech isn’t just the future, it’s the present.
