Lamborghini has officially unveiled the all-new Temerario in India, a critical moment for the Italian brand as it moves deeper into the world of high-performance hybrid technology. Replacing the legendary Huracan, the Temerario is not merely a new model-it's a declaration about the future of supercars, merging electrification with the raw excitement that characterizes Lamborghini.
The Huracan was one of Lamborghini’s best-selling models, celebrated for its naturally aspirated V10 and raw, analogue driving experience. The Temerario, however, takes a leap into the future with a design that is unmistakably Lamborghini-sharp lines, wedge-shaped silhouette, and aggressive aerodynamic details. The front features sleek LED headlights and hexagonal DRLs, while the rear is dominated by a high-mounted central exhaust and hexagonal LED tail lamps, giving it a modern, assertive stance.
At the core of the Temerario is a brand-new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 motor, mated to three electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The plug-in hybrid arrangement produces an eye-watering 920 bhp and 800 Nm of torque, taking the car from 0-100 km/h in a breathtaking 2.7 seconds and on to 343 km/h. The engine’s 10,000 rpm redline is a testament to Lamborghini’s commitment to performance, while the hybrid system ensures both efficiency and instant torque delivery.
The hybrid mode is driven by a small 3.8 kWh battery, which takes approximately 30 minutes to fully charge with a 7 kW charger. Regenerative braking charges the battery while in motion, keeping the Temerario in prime condition to deliver its full capacity.
The Temerario is built on a spanking new aluminum spaceframe chassis, providing more than 20% greater torsional rigidity than the Huracan's chassis. This means sharper handling, better cornering stability, and a more involving driving experience. The extended wheelbase also translates to greater cabin space, so the Temerario is a more usable supercar for daily driving.
On the inside, the Temerario is a display of contemporary technology. The dashboard has three high-definition screens: a 12.3-inch digital driver cluster, an 8.4-inch vertically stacked infotainment screen, and a 9.1-inch passenger screen. Live telemetry, augmented reality navigation, and advanced connectivity create a new benchmark for Lamborghini interiors. Comfort also comes with electrically adjustable, ventilated, and heated seats-a primary demand from customers looking for daily use in their supercars.
The Temerario also features a sophisticated suite of safety equipment, ranging from six airbags, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), lane departure warning, to various drive modes. Convenient additions such as parking assist, electrically adjustable seats, and increased climate control help it be every bit as pleasant as it is exhilarating.
The Lamborghini Temerario is priced at Rs 6 crore (ex-showroom, India), making it a direct competitor to other hybrid supercars such as the Ferrari 296 GTB. With its combination of electrified performance, advanced technology, and unmissable Lamborghini style, the Temerario is poised to redefine expectations in the class.
The Lamborghini Temerario is not only the Huracan's replacement-it's a vision of the future for Lamborghini. Electrification is its driving force, but still with drama and passion that the brand is known for, the Temerario will have the supercar world in India and further abroad under its spell.
