Lamborghini Temerario: this 900-HP car is the best bang for buck today
The Lamborghini Temerario, with its impressive 900 horsepower is going to become one of the top choices for luxury cars at a great price.
Lamborghini has finally announced another of its joyride-worthy rides: the Lamborghini Temerario. Whispers about this vehicle have been on for about four months since it was known as LB634. This car has two cylinders and 1.2 liters less capacity than previous models. But that does take the Lamborghini feel out of it at all. Also, it has adopted forced induction and electrification to power various functions.
Lamborghini Temerario Engine: The L411 Engine for Speed
At the core of the Temerario lies the L411 engine, a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 derived from the Lamborghini SC63 Le Mans Hypercar. The upper limit is 789 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. The redline will start screaming after 10,000 rpm. The engine’s high-revving nature is a rarity; you won’t find this experience anywhere else. But the Temerario’s engineering brilliance doesn’t stop there. Integrated with this beast of an engine is a 110 kW electric motor, adding torque-fill for instantaneous power delivery and boosting the total output to a jaw-dropping 907 horsepower.
The hybrid system has an all-wheel drive setup because of two additional motors on the front axle. Despite the complexity of this system, Lamborghini has ensured that the Temerario remains a purist’s car, with a mechanical reverse gear—a nod to traditionalist drivers who crave a tactile connection with their vehicle. The car’s weight, a critical factor in its performance, is kept under control with a dry weight of just 3,725 lbs, ensuring it remains agile and responsive.
Lamborghini Temerario Design: A Bold Return to Form
Lamborghini’s design language has always been about making a statement, and the Temerario does so with aplomb. The front end features narrow dual-beam LED headlights housed within blade-like intakes. The lower intake has hexagonal DRLs, which do much to bring out the car’s width and athleticism.
At the rear, the design is equally striking. A subtly integrated spoiler and large hexagonal taillights work in tandem with a massive rear diffuser to manage airflow, enhancing both aesthetics and performance. The exposed engine is something you’d find rather in a motorcycle.
Interior: Where Luxury Meets Functionality
Step inside the Lamborghini Temerario, and you’re greeted by an interior that merges the brand’s fighter-jet-inspired ethos with contemporary luxury. The cockpit is driver-focused. Essential features have been given physical controls. The center of the dashboard is dominated by an 8.4-inch vertical touchscreen, which can be customized with Temerario-specific graphics depending on the driving mode.
Some of us are not satisfied with the basics. For such people, Lamborghini has kept the option for personalization open. The seats have four different stitching patterns. The materials can be as varied as carbon fiber, leather, and faux suede. Interestingly, the Temerario has more interior room than any of its segment rivals.
Lamborghini Temerario Performance: A True Driver’s Car
The Lamborghini Temerario isn’t just about straight-line speed, though it certainly excels in that department with a 0-62 mph time of just 2.7 seconds and a top speed of over 213 mph.
The car’s new aluminum chassis is 20% stiffer than that of the Huracán. In terms of the driving experience, this translates to razor-sharp handling and an enhanced sense of control.
Bridgestone has developed bespoke tires for the Temerario, ensuring that it can put its prodigious power to the ground in any condition. The carbon-ceramic brakes have aero-optimized cooling. When you are tearing up the streets, brakes become more important that the gas pedal. And despite the car’s track-focused nature, a tall eighth gear means this car is just as comfortable cruising on the freeway as it is tearing up a race track.
Customization Options
Being a Lamborghini, Temerario has a ridiculous number of customization options. The exterior comes in over 400 colors. There are two exclusive finishes, Blu Marinus and Verde Mercurius. The wheels are available in 20-inch front and 21-inch rear configurations. Even the manufacturing process can be personalized: cast, forged, or carbon fiber designs.
If you want to save some pounds, the Alleggerita package has weight savings of up to 55 lbs. If you configure it right, you can save even more. Moreover, reduced weight has a lot of repercussions for supercars. For example, the aerodynamic efficiency of the Alleggerita increases by 67%.
Lamborghini Temerario Price
Lamborghini is yet to officially announce the starting price of the Temerario. However, we can fairly guesstimate the price point to be at around $300,000. For a Lambo, this is a pretty decent option. Compare this to the range-topping Revuelto that starts at over $608,000. Deliveries will begin late this year or early the next.
That is the Temerario from Lamborghini for you. The best part is that it does not sacrifice the class of the brand yet the price will not leave an indelible mark on a potential buyer’s bank account. The integration of electricity into some of the vital functions of the car shows that Lamborghini is moving in a new direction.
