Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur has officially introduced the Temerario, the brand’s latest plug-in hybrid supercar and the second model in its High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) lineup.
Following the V12-powered Revuelto and the hybrid Urus SE SUV, the Temerario completes Lamborghini’s transition into a fully hybridised model range.
The Temerario enters the Malaysian market with an advanced twin-turbocharged V8 hybrid powertrain, delivering a combined output of (907 hp) and capable of revving to 10,000 rpm.
This new power unit, designed entirely in Sant’Agata Bolognese, integrates three electric motors—one mounted between the engine and gearbox and two on the front axle—allowing for a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 343 km/h.
At the core of the Temerario is Lamborghini’s newly developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, known internally as L411, producing 800 CV and 730 Nm of torque. It reaches peak power between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm, with a redline at 10,000 rpm.
The hybrid system features an axial electric motor integrated within the transmission housing, delivering instant torque at low speeds and ensuring smooth gear transitions. This motor acts as a torque gap filler, facilitating linear acceleration.
The front electric motors enhance all-wheel-drive traction, boost performance in corners, and contribute to regenerative braking. Together, this hybrid setup not only increases straight-line performance but also improves handling precision and overall efficiency.
Lamborghini has extensively reworked the Temerario’s chassis and aerodynamics. A new aluminum spaceframe increases torsional rigidity and improves weight distribution. The chassis also improves passenger ergonomics, with more headroom (+34 mm) and legroom (+46 mm) than its predecessor, the Huracán.
Aerodynamically, the Temerario benefits from innovations like active aero components, integrated vortex generators, and a central roof channel that directs airflow to the rear wing. Compared to the Huracán EVO, rear downforce has improved by 103%, and with the optional Alleggerita Pack, by 158%. Brake cooling performance has also improved significantly—up to 50% better caliper cooling and 20% better disc cooling.
Inside, the Temerario follows Lamborghini’s “Feel Like a Pilot” philosophy, balancing digital interfaces with tactile controls. The interior features premium materials such as carbon fibre, leather, and Alcantara-like Corsatex microfiber. Iconic Lamborghini touches remain, such as the aviation-style Start/Stop button and a red-centred indicator on the steering wheel.
A new 12.3-inch digital driver display supports Lamborghini’s Vision Unit interface, offering real-time vehicle data, multimedia access, and track telemetry. The cabin is more practical than before, offering a 112-litre front boot and additional rear storage behind the seats.
The Temerario offers 13 drive modes, combining traditional and hybrid-specific settings. The left-hand steering wheel rotor selects performance modes: Città (City), Strada, Sport, Corsa, and Corsa Plus (ESC Off). Holding the checkered flag button activates Launch Control.
The right-hand rotor manages hybrid powertrain settings: Recharge, Hybrid, and Performance. These modes adjust the interaction between the combustion engine and electric motors for optimal response in different scenarios, from quiet electric-only movement to full-throttle performance driving.
Tyre development for the Temerario was led by Bridgestone, Lamborghini’s exclusive partner for this model. Two bespoke tyre types have been created: Potenza Sport for daily driving and high-speed handling, and Potenza Race for maximum grip during track sessions. Both have been engineered to support the Temerario’s performance and hybrid powertrain characteristics.
Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program allows Temerario buyers to choose from over 400 exterior colours, bespoke interior combinations, and optional trim pieces. Two launch colours—Blu Marinus and Verde Mercurius—highlight the car’s bold styling.
For more performance-focused buyers, the Alleggerita Pack offers weight reduction of up to 25 kg through the use of lightweight interior elements, carbon fibre body parts, and carbon wheels. Aerodynamic performance also sees a notable 67% gain with this package.
The Temerario continues Lamborghini’s visual heritage with a futuristic, clean-sheet design. Key elements include a shark-nose profile, aggressive side intakes, and a new hexagonal daytime running light (DRL) signature. Hexagon motifs are consistently used throughout the bodywork, tail lights, and single central hexagonal exhaust.
Every styling decision is rooted in function—air channels below the headlights assist brake cooling, while integrated aero ducts manage airflow efficiently across the body.
Unveiled in Kuala Lumpur in Blu Marinus matte finish, the Temerario was introduced alongside the Revuelto and Urus SE, showcasing Lamborghini’s full HPEV lineup. Guests also experienced the Ad Personam display with its extensive personalisation options.
The Lamborghini Temerario is now open for orders in Malaysia through Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur, with a base price of RM1,350,000 before taxes, duties, and options.
