Lamborghini Temerario Review. 900bhp, Stupidly Fast but Disappointing in Too Many Ways

The video reviews Lamborghini’s newest hybrid supercar, the Temerario, positioned as the Huracán’s successor. It combines a high‑revving 4.0‑liter V8 capable of 800 hp with three electric motors—two front‑wheel units and one integrated in the gearbox—pushing total output toward 900 bhp. Key data points include a base price of $265,519 that swells to nearly $400,000 once the coveted lightweight package, carbon‑fiber wheels, colored calipers and bespoke interior trims are added. The car weighs about 1,900 kg, still heavier than rivals like the Ferrari 296 GTB, and its hybrid system is oddly concealed, lacking the typical orange high‑voltage cables. Performance figures are spectacular: 0‑60 mph under 2.5 seconds and a claimed 2.7‑second quarter‑mile, though front‑wheel electric torque feels modest and the V8’s sound is described as “van‑like.” The reviewer highlights several quirks: an unsealed engine cover that lets rain in, a rattle from a loose door component, cheap‑looking floor‑mat stitching, and a near‑absence of storage despite the car’s price. Optional extras such as carbon mirrors (£1,570), sport seats (£65,000) and embroidered headrests (£850) illustrate how costs balloon quickly. The interior’s hard surfaces and lack of a central bin contrast sharply with the high‑tech digital displays and Sonus Faber sound system. For potential buyers, the Temerario showcases Lamborghini’s push into hybrid performance but raises questions about value, build quality and practicality. Its extreme acceleration cements the brand’s reputation for speed, yet the high price and mixed execution may limit appeal to only the most affluent enthusiasts willing to pay for bespoke customization.
