2025 Lamborghini Temerario debuts
Stunning PHEV Huracan replacement is every bit as angry as we’d hoped it would beUPDATED 7/04/2025: Lamborghini Australia has confirmed to carsales the new Temerario will arrive Down Under in the first half of 2026 priced from $613,885 plus on-road costs, making it more than $45,000 dearer than the Ferrari 296 GTB and almost $155,000 more expensive than the Huracan Evo AWD it supersedes.
At the local launch of the car in Sydney on Friday, the brand showcased the all-new Temerario to media, Lamborghini owners and VIPs at an event at Carriageworks. The Temerario in Blu Marinus matt finish costs $855,315, while the Temerario Alleggerita (lightweight pack) in Arancio Xanto will set you back $934,145.
Original: The 2025 Lamborghini Temerario made its long-awaited global debut over the weekend, breaking cover with 676kW, a 0-100km/h time of just 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 343km/h.
Needless to say those numbers shade the comparable Ferrari 296 GTB in every major facet – 610kW, 0-100km in 2.9s, 330km/h – largely due to the purpose-built twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain lurking behind the cabin.
The bespoke cross-plane V8 revs to a screaming 10,000rpm and doesn’t develop maximum power until a heady 9000rpm, supported in its endeavours by a trio of electric motors – hence the lack of a combined torque figure.
Even so, maximum twist from the force-fed engine (730Nm) is available from 4000-7000rpm, however the electric motors are all pulling hard well before that and are a key element of the Temerario’s huge performance increase over the old V10 Huracan.
An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission takes care of gear-shifting duties and houses one of the motors, however Lamborghini has opted to retain a mechanical reverse gear instead of delegating that job to the motor as per other electrified supercars.
The hybrid system draws current from a compact 3.8kWh battery pack mounted low-down in the engine bay which can only be recharged at up to 7kW, and while all-electric driving is possible up to 140km/h, Lambo is yet to announce a concrete range figure, instead choosing to spruce the performance gains associated with an electrified powertrain.
“The Temerario is a genuine ‘fuoriclasse’: a car in a league of its own, an extraordinary and innovative vehicle both from a technical and stylistic point of view,” said company CEO Stephan Winkelmann.
“Every new Lamborghini must surpass its forerunners in performance terms, while at the same time being more sustainable from an emissions standpoint.”
Lamborghini Temerario details
Official fuel consumption and emissions data for the Temerario are all yet to be published but it would be safe to assume both figures will be considerably lower than the outbound Huracan which famously held onto natural aspiration and pure internal combustion for the entirety of its 11-year lifecycle.
The all-new exterior design helps by being slipperier than the Huracan Evo while offering significantly more downforce.
All this aero trickery combines with the all-new platform and advanced new chassis set-up to make the Temerario even more dynamically gifted than its predecessor, riding on a ‘multi-technology aluminium’ spaceframe, adaptive suspension and staggered 20-inch front, 21-inch rear forged wheels.
Said lightweight hoops are shod with bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Sport rubber and house a carbon-ceramic braking system comprising 10-piston front and four-piston rear callipers acting on 410x38mm and 390x32mm rotors respectively.
The finished product weighs in at 1690kg dry and measures 4706mm long.
Supercars have never been known or renowned for their practicality, but Lamborghini insists the Temerario “offers significantly more interior space than its predecessor” while building on the interior design of the bigger Revuelto.
Executives say there’s enough room for people up to 200cm tall to fit in either seat and that there’s 112 litres of cargo space available in the frunk, in addition to the space behind the seats.
Inside the cabin you’ll find a three-screen set-up comprising a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch infotainment interface and a 9.1-inch passenger screen, plenty of carbon-fibre, leather and suede along with the obligatory flip-up starter button on the centre console.
Other equipment highlights include heated, ventilated and 18-way power-adjustable seats, launch control, wireless smartphone mirroring, a Sonus faber sound system, Lamborghini Telemetry 2.0 and run-flat tyres for better puncture protection.
At this stage it’s unclear when the first Temerarios will arrive on Australian soil, but odds are it will be sometime in 2025, almost certainly coasting more than $550,000 apiece.
