How many motors? New 2025 Lamborghini Temerario gets advanced triple e-motor V8 that blends storming performance with low emissions and EV range
Italian supercar-maker Lamborghini has followed in the wide tyre tracks of rivals Ferrari and McLaren by producing an electrified hybrid V8 2025 Lamborghini Temerario to replace its 10-year-old Huracan.
Retiring the old car’s 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, the new Temerario comes powered with an advanced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain that boasts a further three electric motors.
Combined, the Temerario pumps out a thumping 676kW of power that sees the plug-in supercar launch from 0-100km/h in just 2.7 seconds before racing onto its 343km/h top speed.

Those figures outclass the latest 610kW Ferrari 296 GTB that can only manage a 2.9sec 0-100km/h dash before topping out at a lower 330km/h.
Using two e-motors to drive the front wheel and packaging the third one within the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission’s casing, the Temerario gets all-wheel drive, while that tranny motor acts as both a starter motor and generator.
Drawing power from a small 3.8kWh battery, the new Lambo supercar should have an EV range of around 10km.
Dialling up the involvement, Lamborghini says it has developed to new V8 twin-turbo engine to rev to a stratospheric 10,000rpm, while the e-motors are said to eliminate any turbo lag associated with two massive turbochargers.
Even with the hybrid tech and new battery, Lamborghini says the Temerario only weighs 80kg more than the outgoing Huracan Evo, tipping the scales at a still portly 1690kg (dry).
Within, the next-gen Lambo supercar offers more space and plenty of cutting-edge tech that includes a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch infotainment and a third 9.1-inch touchscreen for the passengers.
For the first time there is the option of new heated and ventilated 18-inch comfort seats for those who want to drive their car long distances, while a new Sonus Faber premium sound system ramps up the excitement with a new synthetic soundtrack that alters depending on driving mode.
Riding on 20-inch (front) and larger 21-inch alloys at the rear, the Temerario comes standard with carbon-ceramic brakes that employ large 10-piston front calipers on the front axle that clamp down on huge 410mm discs. At the rear there’s four-piston calipers and barely any smaller 390mm rotors.
Keeping it stable at speed, the Lambo is said to feature a package of large aerodynamics that see it produce 103 per cent more downforce at speed – or 158 per cent more if you tick the box for the racy lightweight Alleggeriata pack that adds extra air-bending aids.
Pricing and its Australian arrival have yet to be locked in, but the 2025 Lamborghini Temerario is thought will be priced around $550,000 before on-road costs are added.
