The 2026 Lamborghini Temerario redefines Lamborghini’s mid-engine supercar formula as the Huracán’s successor, blending a high-revving twin-turbo V8 with hybrid tech for 907 combined horsepower. Early drives reveal a car that’s ferocious yet surprisingly usable, with explosive acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and a flat-plane crank V8 scream that rivals pricier exotics.
V8 Hybrid Powertrain Unleashed
Lamborghini’s new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 spins to an astonishing 10,000 rpm redline—the highest for any production V8—delivering 789 hp alone from 9,000-9,750 rpm. Three electric motors (two front-axle axial-flux units and one rear) add 118 hp for a total of 907 hp and 590 lb-ft, routed through an 8-speed dual-clutch to all wheels. Reviewers clock 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds with a 213 mph top end, praising seamless torque fill that eradicates turbo lag.
Drive modes like Strada, Sport, Corsa, and Drift (with three levels) tailor the experience, from compliant cruising to tail-out slides.
Chassis Precision and Grip
An all-new aluminum spaceframe shaves weight to around 3,500 lbs dry, paired with double-wishbone suspension, active torque vectoring, and rear-axle steering for a compact turning radius. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and massive carbon-ceramics (optional) yield 1.05 g skidpad grip, with reviewers noting planted mid-corner stability and explosive exits. It’s playful without punishing novices, rotating predictably under power.
Design: Evolved Aggression
The Temerario evolves Huracán lines with sharper creases, a lower nose, and massive rear haunches over 20-inch wheels. Active aero includes a deployable rear wing and front flaps generating 400+ kg downforce at speed. Hexagonal exhaust tips and Y-shaped taillights nod to Lamborghini heritage, available as coupe or roadster.
Interior Tech and Comfort
A driver-focused cockpit features a 12.3-inch curved display with Lamborghini’s latest OS, physical dials for modes, and optional Alcantara/carbon buckets. Rear vision camera replaces mirrors, while Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integrates seamlessly. Space fits taller drivers surprisingly well, with 3.8 cubic feet trunk storage.
