Automobili Lamborghini becomes first luxury automotive company to hybridize full product range
Sant’Agata Bolognese/Carmel-By-The-Sea, 17 August 2024 – Automobili Lamborghini unveiled the Temerario[1], the legendary Italian marque’s new twin-turbo V8 hybrid super sports car, at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, the highlight of the annual Monterey Car Week in California. Succeeding the Huracán[2], the Temerario sets a new benchmark for the super sports car segment with a total power output of 920 CV, reaching a top speed of more than 210 mph (over 340 km/h) and accelerating from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds. The Temerario is the second Lamborghini HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) and third step in the electrification strategy for the company, completing the hybridization of the entire Lamborghini lineup following the Revuelto[3] and the Urus SE[4].
The Temerario replaces the Lamborghini Huracán, which debuted in 2014 and has been the greatest-selling super sports car in the history of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based carmaker. As stated by Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini, “Every new Lamborghini must surpass its forerunners in performance terms.” With the Temerario, the new hybrid plug-in reaches a new paradigm in terms of performance, sportiness and driving pleasure. The Temerario is the first and only production super sports car engine able to reach 10,000 rpm: a feat typically only achieved in motorsports.
"With the Temerario, we’ve exceeded our expectations with what the mid-engine sports car can be in terms of performance and design,” said Winkelmann. “The Temerario completes the next chapter in our Direzione Cor Tauri plan by hybridizing the full product line, while we continue the development of our full electric model debuting at the end of the decade.”
In addition to the Temerario, the full hybrid product line took center stage at the annual automotive event, including the flagship Revuelto and super SUV Urus SE. The Revuelto features a 6.5-liter V12 mid-engine with 1,015 CV and a top speed of 217 mph (over 350 km/h). While the Urus SE features a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, which delivers a total output of 800 CV, reaching a top speed of 194 mph (312 km/h).
Alongside its global unveiling, the Temerario made its virtual debut in the Lamborghini Lab, the official design and driving experience on Roblox, created by Automobili Lamborghini to inspire new generations.
