Lamborghini India has officially launched the Temerario, a high-performance plug-in hybrid supercar, marking a new era for the brand in the country. Priced at an ex-showroom rate starting from ₹6 crores, the Temerario is set to replace the iconic Huracan in Lamborghini’s global lineup.
Revealed around the world in August last year, the supercar now arrives in India precisely 8 months later and is set to thrill automobile enthusiasts throughout the country. The most impressive aspect? It’s a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)—that is, it has both mind-boggling power and electric capability.
Gigantic Powertrain with Hybrid Brawn
In the engine, the Lamborghini Temerario boasts a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and three electric motors. Here’s the performance specification:
- V8 Engine Output: 789 bhp & 730 Nm torque
- Electric Motors Bump: Yet another 295 bhp & 2,150 Nm
- Combined Total: A nutty 907 bhp in total power
This hybrid giant has a speed of 343 kmph and accelerates 0-100 kmph within 2.7 seconds—the fastest even when compared to supersonic cars.
Plug-in hybrid system
The plug-in hybrid system boasts a 3.8 kWh battery, which can be recharged to the full capacity within 30 minutes when connected to a 7 kW AC charger. It is also equipped with regenerative braking, providing added efficiency during hard braking and deceleration at high speeds.
Aggressive Exterior with Signature Lamborghini Style
The Temerario boasts an aggressive, aerodynamic design that’s both form and function in equal measure:
- Shark-nose front fascia
- Lower lip spoiler
- Hexagonal LED DRLs
- Hexagon-inspired taillights
- Centrally mounted exhaust
- Aerodynamic ORVMs
It travels on 20-inch front tires and 21-inch rear tires, for the best traction and road presence.
The vehicle is constructed upon an aluminum spaceframe body—24% more robust than the Huracan mixed-material chassis. It also boasts high-performance brakes:
- Front Brakes: 410 mm discs with 10-piston calipers
- Rear Brakes: 390 mm discs with 4-piston calipers
This configuration provides excellent stability and braking performance, even at the highest speeds.
Fighter Jet-Inspired Cockpit Brimming with Technology
Inside, the Temerario offers a cabin that’s heavily inspired by fighter jets, similar to Lamborghini’s flagship Revuelto. It includes:
- 12.3-inch digital driver display
- 8.4-inch vertical infotainment touchscreen
- 9.1-inch co-driver display
Luxury and comfort features include ventilated and heated, electrically adjustable seats, and a multi-function steering wheel with tactile, physical buttons.
Multiple Drive Modes for All Terrains
The supercar supports 13 dynamic drive modes, giving the driver complete control based on terrain and mood:
- Urban/City: Citta
- Daily Drive: Strada
- Sporty Performance: Sport
- Track Mode: Corsa
It also features hybrid-specific modes such as:
- Recharge
- Hybrid
- Performance
These modes optimize fuel economy, electric range, and performance, providing a customized driving experience.
Conclusion
With the launch of the Lamborghini Temerario, India now gets its share of the brand’s hybrid supercar revolution. Combining hypercar-like power, a futuristic cockpit, and eco-conscious hybrid technology, the Temerario isn’t just a replacement for the Huracan—it’s a bold leap into the future of performance.
