We took the hybridized 920 hp V8 to Estoril Circuit to see if it lives up to the hype.
A Bold New Direction for Lamborghini
The Temerario isn’t just a successor to the Huracán — it’s a redefinition of Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar. With a plug-in hybrid setup featuring three electric motors paired with a twin-turbo V8 revving to 10,000 rpm, the car delivers 920 hp and torque with surgical precision. Its design announces itself with a wide, low, and futuristic stance, featuring a sharply pointed nose, hexagonal DRLs that double as airflow channels, and sculpted rear elements designed for performance and aerodynamics.
Cutting-Edge Tech and Engineering
Inside, the cockpit channels a fighter-jet feel, combining carbon fiber, Alcantara, and Corsatex suede with a 12.3-inch digital cluster and co-pilot screens. The V8 is paired with a 147 hp axial-flux motor and two front motors for all-wheel-drive torque vectoring, creating a seamless hybrid experience. The battery supports full-electric city driving and rapid plug-in charging, while the LDV 2.0 system optimizes stability and reduces brake fade, showing that performance and sustainability can coexist.
Performance on the Track
On Estoril Circuit, the Temerario impressed with 0–62 mph in just 2.7 seconds and a top speed near 304 km/h. The chassis is 20 percent more rigid than the Huracán, torque vectoring keeps mid-corner balance neutral, and carbon-ceramic brakes remain stable under repeated high-speed stops. Drift Mode offers three levels of controlled oversteer, making it fun yet predictable on corner exits. The Temerario proves that Lamborghini’s “Starter Lambo” is not just a gateway supercar but a daring, capable, and thoroughly modern machine.
