The Lamborghini Temerario is a 907 HP Hybrid Huracán Replacement

After a decade, Lamborghini is finally ready to say goodbye to the Huracán.

The Italian marque unveiled the new Temerario on at this year’s edition of Monterey Car Week. Unlike the long-running supercar it’s replacing, the latest Raging Bull has a hybrid V-8 and front-wheel drive.

Yes, the Temerario is a departure of sorts for the automaker, but it is also very clearly a Lambo through and through. It shares its name—which means fierce and courageous—with a famous fighting bull from 1875. It also features the same wedge shape that’s been one of the company’s trademarks since the Countach.

The Temerario can stand on its own, though. Hints of the Huracàn and the Revuelto may be present in its design, but the newer model is sleeker than its older siblings. It has razer-thin lights up front along with hexagon-shaped running lights, large air ducts on the side panels and just behind the windows, and a rocket ship-like rear end dominated (again) by hexagons and a giant diffuser. Rounding things out is a staggered set of wheels, 20 inches up front, 21 inches in the back. It looks aggressive and dynamic, as all Raging Bulls should, and like it will have little problem cutting through the air. The lightweight Alleggerita package, which includes several carbon-fiber elements, including a larger rear wing, also increases downforce by 158 percent.

The hexagon motif carries over to the interior of the Temerario. The cabin is larger than on past models, with an additional inch of head and legroom. Up front you’ll find not one, but three screens—a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, an 8.4-inch central infotainment display, and a 9.1-inch touchscreen for the passenger. The décor, meanwhile, combines several different premium materials, including carbon trim, leather upholstery, and suede accents.

The Temerario, like the Revuelto and updated Urus, is a hybrid, or in Lamborgini’s parlance, a high-powered electrified vehicle (HPEV). Its powertrain includes a totally new twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 and a trio of electric motors (two of which are located on the front axle, one on the rear). The mid-mounted mill may have fewer cylinders than the V-10 found in the Huracán, but it still produces 789 hp and 538 ft lb of torque by itself. Add in the extra power from the oil-cooled, axial flux electric motors, which is an additional 150 hp and 221 ft lbs of torque, and you have a total output of 907 horses. With all that power at their disposal, drivers will be able to launch from zero to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 213 mph, which makes it 1 mph faster than the Huracán.

The Temerario’s hybrid setup gets its juice from a battery pack with a 3.8-kWh capacity, just like the one that powered the Revuelto’s system. Although the range is not provided, Lamborghini notes that the supercar can be driven in full electric mode. In this mode, the vehicle operates in front-wheel drive, which, Motor1.com points out, is a first for a Lamborghini. When the ICE engine is in use, it has all-wheel drive.

We’re still waiting to find out when the Temerario will go on sale and how much it will cost. The expectation, right now, is that deliveries will begin later this year or in early 2025. The outgoing Huracán starts at around $300,000, so it wouldn’t be a surprised if the new model costs the same, though some outlets have suggest pricing could reach up to $400,000.
