Lamborghini Temerario: 0-60 & Specs

The Lamborghini Temerario is the successor to the Huracán — a hybrid V8 supercar making 907 combined horsepower and claiming 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds. It replaces the Huracán's naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 paired with three electric motors in an AWD hybrid system.

Car and Driver's Lightning Lap 2026 at Virginia International Raceway placed the Temerario at 2:41.7 — the third-fastest overall result in Lightning Lap history, with a 173.6 mph top speed on the straight.

Engine and Powertrain

The Temerario combines a twin-turbocharged V8 with a three-motor electric system for combined AWD drive.

The twin-turbo V8 replaces the Huracán's naturally aspirated V10. The three-motor electric system provides torque fill at low RPM where turbocharger lag would otherwise occur, plus independent torque vectoring at each front wheel for corner-exit precision.

Official Performance Figures

Lamborghini has published the following claimed figures for the Temerario:

Lightning Lap 2026 Result

Car and Driver's Lightning Lap is a full-lap benchmark at Virginia International Raceway (2.25 miles) driven by the magazine's test driver. It is one of the most repeatable independent comparisons for production cars.

The Temerario's 2026 result:

The 2:41.7 placed the Temerario behind only the Porsche 918 Spyder (2:35.3) and McLaren P1 (2:36.0) in all-time Lightning Lap history. It is the first Lamborghini to crack 2:45 at the event. The 173.6 mph top-straight speed exceeded the Huracán STO's 163 mph from Lightning Lap 2022.

Why 2.5 Seconds for 907 HP?

The Temerario's claimed 0-62 figure puts it alongside cars with more power but similar AWD systems:

• The Ferrari SF90 Stradale makes 986 hp and claims 2.5 seconds — identical despite 79 hp more, because AWD system calibration and weight distribution matter more than peak power at launch
• The Porsche 918 Spyder made 887 hp and ran 0-60 in 2.4 seconds — marginally faster despite less peak power, because it weighs 3,715 lbs versus the Temerario's estimated 4,200 lbs
• The McLaren W1 makes 1,258 hp and claims 2.7 seconds — slower because it is rear-wheel drive

The Temerario's AWD hybrid launch advantage over previous Lamborghini models is significant: the Huracán EVO AWD ran 0-62 in 2.9 seconds with 630 hp and no electric assist.

Supercar Comparison

The Temerario's 2.5-second time equals the SF90 despite 79 hp fewer — the electric motor torque fill and AWD system close most of the gap at launch where peak engine power is not fully accessible.

Price and Production

Lamborghini has not set a strict production cap for the Temerario. The approximately 250-unit annual output target is consistent with Huracán production in its later model years. Initial deliveries began in late 2025.

Timing a High-Power AWD Hybrid

If you get seat time in a Temerario or similar AWD hybrid supercar:

1. The DCT launch control system handles most of the work. Hold brake, select Sport or Corsa mode, bring RPM to the launch control threshold, release brake — the system manages clutch slip and motor torque 2. Tire temperature affects AWD hybrids more than people expect. Cold tires cost 0.1–0.2 seconds even with four driven wheels; the tires need one or two runs to reach optimal operating temperature 3. GPS timing captures launch control's delivery reliably. FastTrack's GPS sensor fusion gives ±0.02s accuracy without needing a prepared drag strip 4. Thermal management limits back-to-back runs. Hybrid systems throttle motor output under sustained heat; run 4 or 5 may be noticeably slower than run 2 unless the car has cooled between attempts

The real-world 0-60 times database tracks the typical gap between manufacturer claims and independently measured street results for this power class.

FAQ

What is the Lamborghini Temerario's 0-60 time?

Lamborghini claims 2.5 seconds to 62 mph (0-100 km/h). No independently GPS-timed street-surface test has been published at this time.

What is the Lamborghini Temerario's Lightning Lap time?

Car and Driver recorded 2:41.7 at Virginia International Raceway in Lightning Lap 2026 — the third-fastest time in Lightning Lap history. The car reached 173.6 mph on the straight.

How much does the Lamborghini Temerario cost?

Base price is approximately $386,649 USD. The Lightning Lap test car was optioned to approximately $585,954. Final pricing varies by configuration and market.

What replaces the Lamborghini Huracán?

The Lamborghini Temerario. It uses a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors instead of the Huracán's naturally aspirated 5.2L V10. The hybrid AWD system reduces 0-62 time from 2.9 seconds to 2.5 seconds while adding a 217 mph top speed.

Is the Lamborghini Temerario faster than the Huracán?

Yes. The Temerario claims 2.5 seconds to 62 mph versus the Huracán EVO AWD's 2.9 seconds, and reaches 217 mph top speed versus the Huracán's 202 mph. The Lightning Lap 2026 result (2:41.7) is significantly faster than the Huracán STO's best result at VIR.

What engine does the Lamborghini Temerario use?

The Temerario uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 combined with three electric motors for a total system output of 907 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. This replaces the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 from the Huracán.
