During the 2024 Pebble Beach festivities, the automotive world was buzzing with excitement as Lamborghini unveiled the highly anticipated Temerario, the successor to the iconic Huracán. However, Lamborghini had another surprise up their sleeve: a special event showcasing the Temerario Alleggerita package, a lighter and sportier version of the Temerario. This exclusive package features extensive use of carbon fiber on the wheels, rear spoiler, and various aerodynamic components, reducing the car’s weight by nearly 55 lbs (25 kilograms) compared to the standard version.
Brooks Weisblat, a YouTuber and Revuelto owner, had the unique opportunity to get an up-close look at the Lamborghini Temerario Alleggerita. Here’s a detailed look at this remarkable vehicle and how it stands out from the standard Temerario.
2025 Lamborghini Temerario Alleggerita Package: What It Offers?
The Temerario’s Alleggerita package is designed to reduce weight and enhance the car’s track performance. By incorporating extensive carbon fiber and other lightweight materials, the Temerario Alleggerita sheds an impressive 25 kg (55 lbs) compared to the standard model. While the standard Lamborghini Temerario has a dry weight of approximately 1,690 kg (3,725.8 lbs), the Alleggerita version comes in at around 1,665 kg (3,670 lbs).
This weight reduction is achieved through the following key components.
CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) front splitter (-0.19 kg)
The CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) front splitter shaves off 0.19 kg (0.41 lbs) compared to the standard splitter. This not only reduces weight but also helps increase front downforce and aerodynamic efficiency.
Recycled carbon fiber underbody panels (-0.55 kg)
The recycled carbon fiber underbody panels are constructed using recycled carbon fiber fabric, which aligns with Lamborghini’s sustainability efforts to reuse this high-performance material. The recycled carbon fiber underbody panels save 0.55 kg (1.22 lbs) compared to the regular panels while also improving aerodynamics by channeling airflow beneath the car.
CFRP side skirts (-0.6 kg)
The Alleggerita package also includes CFRP side skirts, which employ carbon fiber-reinforced polymer construction. These side skirts trim 0.6 kg (1.32 lbs) from the weight of the standard units and enhance aerodynamics by managing airflow along the sides of the car.
Carbon fiber rear bonnet (-9.2 kg)
One of the most significant weight-saving measures is the carbon fiber rear bonnet. This component replaces the standard rear engine cover, resulting in a substantial 9.2 kg reduction in weight. The carbon fiber construction allows heat to dissipate efficiently from the engine while minimizing mass.
Carbon fiber rear spoiler integration panel (-1.6 kg)
Lastly, the carbon fiber rear spoiler integration panel plays a crucial role in the Alleggerita’s aerodynamic performance. This panel, which connects the rear spoiler to the body, is made entirely from carbon fiber, cutting weight by 1.6 kg (20.3 lbs) compared to the regular integration panel. It works in tandem with the larger Alleggerita rear spoiler to significantly increase downforce.
Lightweight Interior: Carbon Fiber Details of the Lamborghini Temerario Alleggerita
Inside, the Alleggerita incorporates carbon fiber elements to further minimize mass. Opting for the Carbon Pack drops an additional 1.81 kg (4 lbs) through the use of carbon on the rear diffuser, mirror caps, and side air intakes.
Carbon Fiber Door Panels
The Alleggerita features carbon fiber door panels similar to those found in the Lamborghini Huracán STO (Super Trofeo Omologata). These lightweight panels help contribute to the overall weight reduction of the Alleggerita package. The use of carbon fiber door panels, along with pull handles instead of traditional door handles, is a weight-saving measure inspired by the track-focused Huracán STO.

Carbon Fiber Center Console
The center console of the Temerario Alleggerita incorporates carbon fiber trim which is present as a part of the interior’s lightweight design.
Carbon Fiber Cowl Around the Infotainment Screen
The Alleggerita features a carbon fiber cowl or bezel surrounding the central infotainment display not only adds a sporty, lightweight aesthetic to the interior but also helps to visually integrate the infotainment screen into the dashboard design.
Optional carbon fiber double-shell sports seats
The optional carbon fiber double-shell sports seats are designed to provide an ergonomic fit that wraps around the occupants. These seats come in a wide range of colors and stitching patterns, offering more customization options than any other Lamborghini seat. For those who prioritize comfort, the 18-way adjustable seats offer both heating and ventilation, ensuring a luxurious experience.
Optimized Aerodynamics for Unrivaled Handling
By strategically incorporating carbon fiber throughout the cabin, Lamborghini has created a more driver-centric, track-inspired interior that complements Temerario Alleggerita’s overall lightweight ethos.
In addition to the substantial weight savings, the Alleggerita package optimizes the Temerario’s aerodynamics. It boasts a remarkable 158% increase in downforce over the Huracán Evo. At 300km/h EVO promised 200kg of downforce while the EVO RWD offered 73% more rear downforce than EVO AWD and 2% less drag, The larger rear wing, unique bumper treatments, and other aero enhancements help keep the Temerario glued to the tarmac, especially during high-speed cornering.

Pushing the V8 Hybrid Powertrain to the Limit
At the heart of the Temerario lies an all-new 4.0L twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors, delivering a monstrous 920 CV (910 hp). The Alleggerita’s weight reduction allows this hybrid powertrain to be pushed to its absolute limit on the track. The V8 alone produces 800 hp at a screaming 9,000-9,750 rpm redline, with the turbos running at 2.5 bar of boost pressure. Combined with the instant torque from the electric motors, the Alleggerita offers blistering acceleration and unrivaled responsiveness.
Comparison Between Lamborghini Lightweights: Huracán STO vs Temerario Alleggerita
Both the Temerario Alleggerita and Huracán STO represent the pinnacle of track-focused performance for their respective models. They employ extensive use of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials to reduce weight and improve aerodynamics. The Temerario Alleggerita benefits from a more advanced hybrid powertrain, combining a twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors for instant torque and improved efficiency. It also introduces new features like carbon fiber wheels (the first time in a Lamborghini) and a dedicated Drift Mode.
The Huracán STO, on the other hand, is a more analog, purist machine. Its naturally aspirated V10 and rear-wheel drive layout harken back to traditional supercars, while its race-derived aerodynamics and suspension make it a formidable track weapon.
Both these cars reflect Lamborghini’s dedication to advancing lightweight construction and delivering high-performance vehicles. The Temerario Alleggerita takes the innovations from the Huracán STO and applies them to a new generation of electrified supercars.
