Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur officially launches the Temerario, the HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) replacement for the Hurracan

POWERTRAIN

 

The heart of a Lamborghini has always been its drive system. With the new Temerario, Lamborghini takes an entirely new approach, with five years of development delivering an unprecedented super sports car powertrain, comprised of an extremely high-revving biturbo Internal Combustion Engine concept combined with three electric motors.  

The new powertrain is integral to the second super sports car in Lamborghini’s High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) product range. The first target was to achieve the highest possible specific power and torque, while at the same time offering the response of a classic high-revving naturally aspirated engine. Therefore, only high-performance components are used in the drivetrain: the new 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine has a specific output of 200 CV per liter and works together with an oil-cooled axial flow electric motor fully integrated in the V8 housing. Propulsion is supported by two electric motors on the front axle. 

The new engine with the internal designation L411 achieves it’s one of the most powerful engines in the segment. The V8 biturbo delivers its peak power of 800 CV from 9,000 to 9,750 rpm and 730 Nm of torque between 4,000 and 7,000 rpm. The electric motor, in P1 position (between the V8 engine and the gearbox), ensures immediate response starting from low engine speed and continues consistently through gear transitions, working as a “torque gap filler” and improving the transient response, giving the sensation of linear and limitless progression up to 10,000 revs.  

DESIGN

Brave, unexpected and authentically a Lamborghini: with the Temerario Lamborghini Centro Stile has created a new and inimitable super sports car that opens a fresh chapter in Lamborghini design DNA.  The new styling introduces a form that embodies its own essential and iconic identity.

The new car’s design points towards the future of Lamborghini’s legendary mid-engine sports cars, while the shapes of the car stay pure, athletic and well-defined. With a clean-sheet design and new drive concept, the Temerario carries a connection to its legendary predecessors while its all-new persona is characterized by reduction, clarity, sharpness and recognizability. 

Exteriors

From first glance, the Temerario reveals Lamborghini DNA in its typical Lamborghini silhouette: clear and puristic lines, short and compact overhangs, integrated aerodynamics and a bold shark nose. 

The Lamborghini design language has evolved to create a new hexagonal Daytime Running Light (DRL) signature, rendering it strongly recognizable and identifiable from far away. The hexagon concept can be found as the main design theme throughout the car: on the main bodywork, the side air intakes, the taillights and in the remarkable hexagonal exhaust pipe: the geometric hexagon paradigm has been one of Lamborghini’s most recognizable symbols since the 1960s.

The hexagonal daytime running lights incorporate an integrated radar sensor as well as an air tunnel, part of the design philosophy of incorporating lights within the aerodynamic concept. Furthermore, air channels positioned just below the headlights improve the aero performance and cooling of the front high-performance braking system for even better efficiency. 

Interiors: Feel like a pilot

The interior mirrors the extraordinary exterior design, creating a balance between digital and physical experiences. Lamborghini uses best-quality materials such as carbon, leather and Corsatex microfiber throughout the interior, combining them to create a high-quality interior experience with a special feel. Many interior elements can also be ordered in carbon fiber as an option, including parts of the center console, air vents, door panels, parts of the dashboard, steering wheel and steering column. In addition to the elegant lightweight materials, customers can find classical Lamborghini elements such as the Start/Stop “Power button” inspired by aviation; e-gear lever; and red ‘line-up’ indicator on the steering wheel to emphasize the extreme sportiness of the new Temerario.

Following the “Feel like a pilot” philosophy, thanks to the new generation dashboard, the pilot and co-pilot quickly become one with the new car. Clear and intuitive to operate, the pilot can reach all the controls from their perfect seating position. Iconic hexagonal air vents are elegantly integrated into the cockpit, and the center console has space for a smartphone and wallet. 

More space and room for everyday life

The interior of the Temerario has been completely redesigned compared to the Huracán, while at the same time further developing the design language first seen on the Revuelto. Thanks to the new spaceframe chassis, the Temerario offers significantly more interior space than its predecessor. A low and ergonomic seating position offers the pilot and co-pilot a perfect connection and integration with the vehicle while at the same time providing a high level of comfort, true to the Lamborghini philosophy of “Feel like a pilot”.

The new spaceframe chassis concept increases headroom by 34 mm and legroom by 46 mm, plus a 4.8° increase in visibility and accommodates passengers up to 200 cm tall even when wearing a helmet. This means that even the tallest drivers wearing a helmet can comfortably complete their laps on a racetrack. There is room for items such as sports equipment in the load compartment under the front hood with 112 liters of stowage volume available equivalent to two cabin trolleys. Other everyday items can be stowed behind the seats. 

Personalization and ‘Alleggerita’ Package

The Temerario is launched with two new dedicated colors, Blu Marinus (blue) and Verde Mercurius (green).  Over 400 body colors and special liveries will be available offering clients almost infinite customization possibilities through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program.  The new rims, 20” at the front and 21” at the rear, are available in three different designs and materials: cast rims (three colors), forged (four colors) and carbon. A wide range of carbon fiber elements for exteriors and interiors is offered: front splitter, mirror caps, side upper vents, rear diffuser; central tunnel, instrument cluster, air vents, door switch frame, steering wheel in carbon, steering column cover and gearshift. 

For the first time when a Lamborghini debuts on the market, it will also be available with the ‘Alleggerita’ (lightweight), package for customers more oriented towards track driving. It reduces the car’s weight by 12.65 kg through body components alone, with a reduction of over 25 kg when incorporating lightweight interior elements and carbon rims, and is even more efficient from an aerodynamic point of view (+67% aerodynamic load). 

AERODYNAMICS 

 

With the Temerario, Lamborghini has achieved the peak of aerodynamic efficiency through the attainment of three primary design goals: stability at high speeds; increased cooling performance; and maximum braking efficiency.  

Every element of its design, from the hexagonal DRLs with integrated deflectors and air intakes to the vortex generators beneath the car, is engineered to manage airflow precisely. Rear downforce increases by 103 percent compared to the Huracán EVO and up to 158 percent with the Alleggerita Pack. The roof’s central channel and integrated rear spoiler optimize airflow while the curved engine hood sides enhance aerodynamic performance. A new brake cooling concept improves overall system efficiency providing up to 50 percent better caliper cooling and 20 percent increased disc cooling over the Huracán EVO.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE

Temerario offers 13 driving experiences that make the super sports car versatile and capable of exciting both in daily driving and on the curbs of a circuit. The drive modes can be selected via the rotors on the steering wheel: the upper left red-crowned rotor allows the driver to choose between Città, Strada, Sport, Corsa and Corsa Plus (ESC Off – electronic controls deactivated); furthermore, by pressing the “checkered flag” button for two seconds, Launch Control is activated to exploit the maximum potential when starting from a standing start.

Together with the hybrid system, three new dedicated driving modes also debut: Recharge, Hybrid and Performance, selectable via the upper right rotor. The choice of driving mode is displayed on the driver’s 12.3-inch digital dashboard, where the animated graphics replicate the rotation of the selectors to make the selection made immediately intuitive.

TYRES

As Lamborghini’s exclusive tyre partner for the new Temerario, Bridgestone has developed a complete tyre line-up designed to maximise the supercar’s performance both on and off track, all year round, meeting the diverse needs of drivers.

Bridgestone has turned to its iconic Potenza tyre family for the Temerario’s summer and track fitments, delivering custom engineered Potenza Sport and Potenza Race tyres. The bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Sport fitment applies a pattern design that maximises dry handling, wet handling and high-speed performance, to enhance the vehicle’s sport behaviour. 

The Lamborghini Temerario is now open for booking in Malaysia through Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur, with a starting price of RM 1,350,000 before duties, taxes and personalization.
