Lamborghini Temerario: 10,000 rpm and a Hybrid Conscience
The Huracán’s replacement swaps a naturally aspirated V10 for a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors — and revs harder than either of them.
The short answer
The Lamborghini Temerario is a plug-in hybrid supercar with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors producing 907 hp combined. It revs to 10,000 rpm, reaches 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, and is expected in India at approximately ₹6 crore ex-showroom.
Key Takeaways
907 hp combined output from a V8 and three electric motors.
Revs to 10,000 rpm — higher than the V10 Huracán it replaces.
Around 10 km of usable electric-only range in city driving.
0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds; 0–200 km/h in 7.1 seconds.
Expected India price approximately ₹6 crore ex-showroom.
Losing the V10 Was Not the Compromise
Replacing a naturally aspirated V10 with a turbocharged V8 should have felt like a downgrade, and for the first two thousand revs it does. Then the electric motors take over the job the turbos cannot do yet, and the gap simply is not there.
What you notice instead is the top end. Ten thousand rpm is not a marketing number here — the last 1,500 rpm is where the car does its most convincing work, and it holds a gear far longer than the Huracán ever wanted to.
The Chassis Is the Real Story
Torque vectoring from the front axle’s two motors lets the Temerario rotate into a corner in a way that no mechanical differential can replicate. On a wet circuit that makes it flatteringly quick; on a dry one it makes it precise.
Should You Wait For It?
If you own a Huracán and love it for the noise, drive one before you decide. If you want the fastest thing Lamborghini has ever sold below the Revuelto, this is already it.
The electric motors fill the turbo lag so completely that the car feels naturally aspirated until 6,000 rpm, then feels like something else entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1When does the Temerario launch in India?
Deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2027, with bookings already open through Lamborghini Mumbai and Delhi.
Q2Does the Temerario still sound like a Lamborghini?
Above 7,000 rpm, yes — the flat-plane V8 is harder-edged than the V10 but genuinely loud, and the 10,000 rpm limit gives it a distinct top-end wail.
Q3Can it run on electric power alone?
Yes, for roughly 10 km in city driving, which is enough to leave a residential area quietly.
