Lamborghini’s new hybrid supercar has 900 horsepower — and marks the brand’s complete move to hybrid

Aesthetically, the Temerario features the signature supercar wedge look we’ve come to know and love. Its sharp front end and highly raked windshield leave no question that the Temerario is a supercar. The Lamborghini’s aluminum body panels feature only minimum lines and creases, a look Winkelmann called “pure.”

The design not only looks cool but also helps the new Lambo go fast. The Temerario’s aerodynamics deliver 103% better rear downforce than the outgoing Huracan EVO; that figure improves to 158% if you opt for the track-focused Alleggerita Pack.

Inside, the Temerario’s cabin is both roomier and more high-tech than the Huracan.

Engineers gave taller drivers an extra inch of headroom and an additional two inches of legroom, which are handy when wearing a helmet for track driving.

The Italian supercar maker is evaluating a host of potential solutions to keep ICE engines in its cars after 2035, including using carbon-neutral fuels, the Lamborghini CEO told Business Insider.

Mounted behind the Temerario’s driver’s compartment is a new 4.0-liter, bi-turbo V8 engine that produces more than 800 horsepower. It’s paired with three electric motors and a 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack to produce 907 system horsepower.

Two of the electric motors are mounted to the front axle. The third electric motor is mounted directly onto the engine to provide additional torque and works with the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission to drive the rear wheels.

The driver will be able to enjoy the Temerario’s high-revving V8 in several driving modes, ranging from an easygoing City Mode to a full-on track mode.

For the first time, Lamborghini is offering a Drift Mode that helps drivers generate controlled oversteer into corners. This mode is for those who want to go into corners sideways but don’t quite have the driving skill to do so without risking damaging their new Italian supercar.

Pricing has not yet been announced for the Lamborghini Temerario, which is expected to go on sale next year. The outgoing Huracan’s base variant started at $250,000, while higher-end STO models started at $350,000.
