Briefly

Behind the Wheel of the Lamborghini Temerario
"With 789 hp, the Temerario's twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V-8 might once have seemed plentiful on its own; especially with a sensational 10,000-rpm redline that makes this the world's highest-revving production V-8. But for the successor to the Huracán, merely the best-selling model in the brand's history, Lamborghini adds three axial-flux electric motors. A pair on the front axle provide all-wheel-drive traction and torque-vectoring tricks."
"The Temerario is unmistakably a Lamborghini, its wedgy silhouette marking a descent from the classic midengine Countach. But some of the brand's louche visual drama goes missing. A smooth-lozenge shape, designed for maximum aerodynamic function, finally gives way to Klingon-warship aggression at the extruded, geometric rear. In mellow Città mode, this plug-in hybrid can hum on electricity alone for about five miles. It can also recharge its 3.8 kilowatt-hour battery on-the-fly."
The Temerario pairs a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V‑8 producing 789 hp and a 10,000‑rpm redline with three axial‑flux electric motors for a combined 907 hp. Two electric motors on the front axle provide all‑wheel drive traction and torque vectoring. The plug‑in hybrid can travel about five miles on electricity and recharge its 3.8 kilowatt‑hour battery on the move. The design emphasizes aerodynamic function with a smooth lozenge shape and an extruded geometric rear. A new aluminum spaceframe increases legroom and headroom, making the car 9.7 inches longer than the Huracán and accommodating very tall drivers. Interior features include three intuitive displays and an available passenger screen.
