Lamborghini Temerario – Huracán replacement is a 920 PS PHEV; 4.0L twin-turbo V8 spins to 10,000 rpm!

2 months ago 25

It whitethorn person been unthinkable conscionable a fewer years ago, but Lamborghini’s full lineup is present electrified. The last portion of the puzzle is the caller Temerario – the brand’s 2nd plug-in hybrid supercar aft the Revuelto – which replaces the Huracán aft 11 agelong years of service.

The three-motor (each producing 150 PS) hybrid powertrain is nominally akin to the Revuelto’s – a ample and almighty petrol motor and an electrical centrifugal thrust the rear wheels, portion 2 much motors grip the front. In this case, however, the sonorous naturally-aspirated V12 has been replaced not by the Huracán’s NA V10, but by a 4.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8.

No, Lamborghini didn’t conscionable worldly the Urus’ V8 into its supercar. The caller L411 motor whitethorn inactive beryllium direct-injected with a “hot-vee” turbocharger statement betwixt the banks of cylinders, but it present has a flat-plane crankshaft, titanium conrods and a superbike-style finger-follower valvetrain with a diamond-like c (DLC) coating to facilitate precocious revs.

How high? Try 10,000 rpm, which is higher than Ferrari and Porsche’s NA engines. With the turbos spinning astatine 2.5 barroom of pressure, the V8 unsocial makes 800 PS from 9,000 to 9,750 rpm and 730 Nm of torque betwixt 4,000 and 7,000 rpm. Lamborghini says the caller motor maintains the smoothness and linearity of the Huracán’s V10 portion delivering the precocious powerfulness and torque figures of a turbo mill.

But a high-strung turbocharged motor besides delivers plentifulness of turbo lag, truthful what happens beneath 4,000 rpm? Well, that’s wherever the rear electrical centrifugal comes in. Situated betwixt the motor and the caller eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (which, by the way, is lighter than the Huracán’s seven-speed unit), it fills the torque spread astatine debased revs with its ain 300 Nm.

Boosting outputs further are the motors astatine the beforehand that supply torque vectoring crossed the beforehand axle and, combined, propulsion retired a highest of 299 PS (82 PS continuous) and a staggering 2,150 Nm. All this results successful a full strategy output of 920 PS, enabling the Temerario to sprint from zero to 100 km/h successful 2.7 seconds connected its mode to a apical velocity of 343 km/h.

The 3 motors are juiced by a 3.8 kWh battery, housed wrong the spine of the chassis. This allows the beforehand motors to thrust the car connected energy unsocial with a maximum output of 190 PS, hilariously turning the Temerario into a front-wheel-drive EV. No electric-only scope has been provided conscionable yet, but the battalion does enactment up to 7 kW of AC charging, taking conscionable 30 minutes for a afloat charge.

Drivers tin power however the powertrain operates via the Recharge (which charges the artillery utilizing the V8), Hybrid and Performance settings. These harvester with the 5 thrust modes – Città (for city), Strada (street), Sport, Corsa (race) and Corsa Plus (driver immunodeficiency off) – to find however the motor and motors are used. Only successful Città mode tin the Temerario beryllium driven connected electrical powerfulness unsocial successful Hybrid; each different settings prosecute the V8 astatine each times. You besides get motorboat power and a Drift Mode with 4 levels.

The powertrain is packaged wrong an all-new aluminium spaceframe that not lone provides much country to acceptable taller occupants (up to 200 cm tall, adjacent with a helmet fitted) but besides reduces complexity and optimises value – with the added bonus of offering a 20% summation successful torsional stableness implicit the Huracán. Despite this, the summation of each the electrical gubbins does mean that the Temerario’s adust value has ballooned by a whopping 268 kg implicit the Huracán Evo to 1,690 kg.

Enhancing the ferocity of the high-revving V8 is simply a specially-tuned exhaust strategy with an progressive exhaust, a transportation betwixt the motor banks and a dependable symposer that sends motor notes to the cabin. Lamborghini has besides chosen to transmit immoderate of the flat-plane crank engine’s vibrations astatine higher revs done the usage of bespoke motor mounts and lightweight assemblage parts.

To guarantee the Temerario has capable grip to negociate the colossal firepower, the institution worked with longtime spouse Bridgestone to connection a afloat lineup of customised tyres. These see the all-rounder Potenza Sport (with a run-flat enactment available) and track-biased Potenza Race, and adjacent Blizzak LM005 wintertime rubber. These are disposable successful assorted sizes and are mounted connected 20-inch beforehand and 21-inch rear alloy wheels, which fell modular c ceramic brakes with ten-piston beforehand callipers and 410 mm beforehand discs.

Lamborghini has ever utilized hexagons heavy successful its designs, but with the Temerario it has taken it to the adjacent level. The six-sided signifier is everyplace – the daytime moving lights successful the beforehand aerial intakes, the doorway mirrors, the broadside model shape, the assorted scoops, the monolithic centre tailpipe, the taillights and adjacent the substance filler flap and complaint larboard doorway connected either side.

And arsenic is the contented of cars coming from Sant’Agata Bolognese (well, but for the Urus), the Temerario has a low-slung look characterised by the slim, swooping glasshouse, which tapers towards the rear. The unbroken enarthrosis line, which stretches from the beforehand fenders to the taillights, is reminiscent of the Gallardo’s, portion the fixed rear spoiler enhances the car’s important width.

At the front, you’ll find slim, somewhat inset headlights that springiness the car a focused gaze. Lamborghini has paid peculiar attraction to aerodynamics this clip astir – the aforementioned DRLs are hollow and nonstop aerial done the beforehand of the car, surrounded by inlets that chill the immense brakes. Various fins hidden wrong aerial inlets and adjacent the doorway mirrors assistance transmission aerial towards the gaping broadside aerial intakes.

Meanwhile, the roof’s cardinal transmission and tapered glasshouse provender the rear spoiler with cleanable airflow. Within the vale betwixt the buttresses lies the V8, housed nether a slatted motor screen akin to the superbike fairing. In fact, Lamborghini has taken tons of inspiration from the satellite of motorcycles, appearing successful some the method rear centre conception and the partially-exposed rear wheels.

Underneath, a larger rear diffuser compared to the Huracán Evo maximises aerial travel extraction from the backmost of the car, successful performance with assorted fins and deflectors. All successful all, the Temerario delivers a 103% summation successful rear downforce compared to its predecessor.

For adjacent greater downforce, you’ll person to crook to the Alleggerita (lightweight) pack, adding a finned c fibre beforehand splitter on with c underbody panels, broadside skirts, rear motor screen and adjacent wheels. A lightweight solid rear model and polycarbonate beforehand and rear three-quarter windows are besides fitted.

Elsewhere, you get a much assertive rear spoiler (also made from c fibre), arsenic good arsenic c doorway cards and rider footrest. All this not lone bumps up the rear downforce summation implicit the Huracán Evo to 158% but besides reduces value by implicit 25 kg – including 12.65 kg from the assemblage panels alone.

The interior of the Temerario is precise akin to the Revuelto’s, incorporating a Y-shaped centre console, hexagonal country air-con vents and a trio of screens. The second includes a customisable 12.3-inch integer instrumentality show with Dynamic, Navi and Essential views, an 8.4-inch representation infotainment touchscreen and a 9.1-inch rider display.

On the centre screen, users are capable to customise the layout of the hexagonal interface and swipe contents towards the operator and rider screens. You besides get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a Sonus faber dependable system.

The Temerario besides debuts a Lamborghini Vision Unit – a brace of 3 cameras that captures the guardant view, the beforehand compartment and the occupants (basically a selfie cam). This not lone functions arsenic a fancy dash cam but besides integrates into the Lamborghini Telemetry 2.0 system, which features implicit 150 circuits astir the world. You tin besides grounds up to 2 minutes of driving footage utilizing the Memories Recorder function.

The remainder of the compartment has been designed to marque the operator consciousness similar a pilot. They beryllium connected 18-inch power-adjustable comfortableness seats with heating and ventilation (carbon fibre sports seats are optional) and look a flat-bottomed steering instrumentality with Ferrari-style controls for the lights, indicators and wipers, arsenic good arsenic rotary dials for controlling the thrust and powertrain modes and Drift Mode levels.

On the centre console, you’ll find a starter fastener underneath a flip-up screen and a push-button cogwheel selector with a distinctive toggle for reverse. Buyers tin spec the car with either leather oregon Corsatex microfibre upholstery, on with a litany of c fibre decor options.
