ITALIAN DAREDEVIL

How do you step into the shoes of one of the most celebrated Lamborghini in recent times?

I wish the answer to this question was as simple as asking it. But the guys in Sant'Agata seem to have answered it in a not-so-Lamborghini way. Enter Temerario, successor to the mighty Huracan. It not only replaces the baby Lambo, but now makes the Italian carmaker's line-up fully hybrid. That means the legendary firebreathing 90-degree 5.2-litre V10 heart of the Huracan has been replaced by a smaller 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 assisted by three electric motors.

The 'reckless' as the name translates to, the Temerario produces 800PS and 730Nm but that isn't it, Lamborghini claims the new engine is the highest revving V8 ever to be installed in a production car and the two electric motors on the front axle and one next to the engine contributes to performance increasing the total output to a heady 920PS, making the Temerario more powerful than any production Huracan ever made.
