Lamborghini Temerario: 920 CV and a New V8 Hybrid Era

Revealed at Monterey Car Week 2024, the Temerario pairs a bespoke twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors.

Lamborghini revealed the Temerario at Monterey Car Week 2024 with 920 CV from an all-new twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain pairing a bespoke combustion engine with three electric motors.

The cockpit of the car that completes Lamborghini's hybridized lineup

The Temerario fills the slot that historically puts the most Lamborghinis on roads and racetracks, making it the real test of whether the brand's hybrid philosophy can deliver emotional satisfaction at scale.

Performance-first hybrid on the open road

Three electric motors provide instant torque fill where turbo lag would otherwise dull throttle response, a use of electrification that directly solves one of the oldest complaints about forced-induction engines.

Tuned for approachability behind the wheel

Car and Driver described the steering as disarmingly light during early driving impressions, noting that once drivers relaxed their grip, the car began to feel extremely light, agile, and tossable.

Built for the track: a GT3 variant developed entirely in-house

The Temerario GT3 is Lamborghini's first competition car fully designed, developed, and built in-house at Sant'Agata Bolognese, giving the brand direct control over homologation and the feedback loop between road car and race car engineering.

A clean-sheet design that evolved during development

Road & Track reported that the Temerario's V8 was not originally planned as a twin-turbo unit, suggesting the final powertrain configuration evolved during development in a late-stage engineering pivot that underscores how much of this car represents genuinely new ground for Lamborghini.

Where Lamborghini's electrified future begins

The Temerario is a clean-sheet machine built around an engine and hybrid system that did not exist three years ago, and Lamborghini's future depends on getting it right.
