Lamborghini president and CEO Stephan Winkelmann has revealed that the incoming replacement for the Huracan supercar – the 2025 Lamborghini Temerario – will produce at least 662kW from its new V8 hybrid powertrain.
Divulged on his personal LinkedIn page, Winkelmann’s revelation means the Temerario’s electrified twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 will produce at least 52kW more than its closest rival, the Ferrari 296 (610kW/740Nm).
“It’s finally time to introduce you to Lamborghini 634, the hybrid successor to Huracan that will join our HPEV [High Performance Electrified Vehicle] line-up,” Winkelmann said.
“This brand-new model is a clean-sheet design from Sant’Agata Bolognese and it will be equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine, combined with a hybrid system incorporating three electric motors, optimised with a max output of over 900 CV [662kW].
“We are thrilled to bring you an experience unlike any other.”
Replacing the naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 (470kW/565-600Nm) in the Huracan, the V8 part of the equation alone has already been confirmed as producing 588kW/730Nm.
It’s also capable of revving to an incredible 10,000rpm, but this is the first time the total output has been revealed.
Like the larger V12-powered Lamborghini Revuelto, the Temerario will feature three electric motors, with two of those driving the front axle to provide all-wheel drive.
With its second pair of driven wheels and a sizeable power advantage, the Temerario should raise the bar for the entry-level supercar class when it comes to performance claims, with 0-100km/h likely to beat the Ferrari 296’s 2.9sec benchmark and 0-200km/h expected to dip below 7.3sec.
From earlier spy shots we already know the Temerario will feature Revuelto-inspired looks, including ultra-slim headlights and hexagonal daytime running lamps.
At the rear, expect a large central tailpipe and a huge motorsport-derived diffuser.
More details are expected to be drip-fed in the coming weeks ahead of its unveiling in August.
