The Lamborghini Temerario[1] (code name 634[2]) is an upcoming mid-engine plug-in hybrid sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. It was officially unveiled on August 16, 2024, replacing the Huracán. This car marks the return of a V8 mid-engined Lamborghini model, the first since the 1981 Lamborghini Jalpa.[3] [4] It is the first turbocharged Lamborghini sports car.[5]

Name

In keeping with the Lamborghini tradition of naming car models after famous fighting bulls, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann stated that "Temerario is the name of a fighting bull that fought in 1875, and Temerario means fierce, courageous."[6]

Engine, motors, and battery

The all-new flat-plane hot vee 4.0L (3995.2cc) V8 engine (Bore-90mm, Stroke-78.5mm) produces 730 Nm (538.42 ft-lbs) (4,000 - 7,000 rpm) and 800 PS (789hp, 588kW) (9,000 - 9,750 rpm), with a 10,000 rpm redline. To allow it to rev higher, it has titanium connecting rods, a short stroke, and a flat plane crankshaft. The electric motor between the engine and gearbox has 300 Nm (221.26 ft-lbs) and 110 kW (148hp, 150 PS) at 3,500 rpm.[2] There are two other electric motors on the front axle. [7] The motors make use of axial-flux electric motors that provide a larger magnetic surface for better performance. Combined power output is 907 hp (920 PS, 677 KW).[8] [6] The engine is mechanically unrelated to the 4.0L (3996cc) hot vee Volkswagen-Audi V8 engine (4.0 TFSI). The Temerario will use the existing 3.8 kWh battery pack from the Lamborghini Revuelto.

Transmission

The Temerario will use an adapted version of the Revuelto’s 8-speed dual-clutch transmission .[2] The gearbox is transverse and mounted behind the engine.

Performance

Lamborghini has stated that the maximum speed of the Temerario is over and reaches in 2.7 seconds.[1]

Motorsport

GT3

Lamborghini is developing a GT3 racing version of the Temerario, built to Group GT3 regulations. This car will see its race debut in 2026, and will replace the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo 2 as Lamborghini's main GT3 racecar. It will be using the same twin-turbo V8 as the street car, but without electric motors, as these are not allowed in GT3 racing.[9]

Super Trofeo

Lamborghini plans to introduce a Super Trofeo version of the Temerario in 2027, replacing the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2.
