Excitement mounts as Lamborghini gears up to reveal its latest mid-engine PHEV supercar, poised to succeed the iconic Huracan, at the prestigious Pebble Beach event in August. With the recent farewell to the Huracan, epitomized by the ultra-limited STJ variant, anticipation for its successor reaches a fever pitch.
Francesco Scardaoni, Lamborghini APAC director, tantalizes enthusiasts with sneak peeks of the forthcoming supercar, hinting at its potential to carve its place as another icon in the Lamborghini lineup. While maintaining a veil of secrecy surrounding the new model, Scardaoni shares tantalizing tidbits, describing it as “amazing” and promising a grand reveal at Pebble Beach.
Early feedback from Lamborghini’s esteemed partners reinforces the anticipation surrounding the new entrant. Speaking at the Melbourne Grand Prix, Scardaoni sheds light on Lamborghini’s electrification strategy, indicating that by 2024, all products will embrace hybridization, with deliveries slated to commence in 2025, positioning it to rival the Ferrari 296 GTB.
Observers have caught glances of the Temerario, as it’s speculated to be named, undergoing testing in various stages of development. Distinguished by its distinct styling, the Temerario departs from Huracan’s design ethos, ensuring clear differentiation from the new V12 Revuelto. Scardaoni underscores the significance of individuality across Lamborghini’s product lines, each embodying a unique design language and mission.
While confirmation of the Temerario’s plug-in hybrid configuration is affirmed, details regarding its powertrain configuration remain in mystery. Speculation swirls around the potential adoption of a bespoke twin-turbo V8 setup, distinct from the 4.0-liter turbo PHEV system employed in Porsche models and the Lamborghini Urus SUV, further heightening anticipation for its official exhibit.
As Lamborghini prepares to usher in a new era of electrified performance, the Temerario emerges as a beacon of innovation and automotive excellence, poised to redefine the boundaries of supercar prowess on the electrified stage.
