Temerario on-track: flat-out in Lamborghini’s ballistic V8 supercar
Read how the 2027 Lamborghini Temerario’s updated hybrid V8 delivers brutal launches, 186mph pace and sharper track dynamics.
Lamborghini's new Temerario supercar is geared towards unleashing its full potential on a racetrack. The engine, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, reaches its peak performance at 10,250rpm, producing an explosive sound that can be heard even from a distance. The car's plug-in hybrid system, comprising a 3.8kWh battery and three electric motors, provides ample torque for short-shifting.
However, exploring this high-performance zone on public roads can be challenging due to the lack of an extended stretch of road. The updated 2027 model, while otherwise unchanged in appearance, features software tweaks such as more pronounced twin-clutch gearshifts and increased engine noise. During a test drive at Vairano, an automotive proving ground near Milan, the Temerario demonstrated its power with a gut-punch acceleration and a high-pitched scream at high revs, reaching an indicated speed of 300km/h (186.4mph) on the main straight.
The car's traction and stability systems work hard to maintain control, while the Drift mode allows for controlled sideways slides, but may not be essential for everyday use.
