Doug DeMuro·Car Reviews & AutomotiveThe Lamborghini Temerario Is an Awesome $450,000 Supercar
TL;DR
The Temerario is a genuinely impressive supercar, but its size and weight make it less of a precision driver's car than the Huracan it replaces.
Key Points
- 1.Powertrain: Twin-turbo V8 + plug-in hybrid system produces 900+ hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, revving to 10,000 RPM — only ~100 hp less than Lamborghini's flagship Revuelto.
- 2.Performance: 0–60 mph in 2.3–2.4 seconds, top speed over 210 mph, and 5 miles of full electric-only range.
- 3.Price: Base price ~$360,000 (up ~$80,000 from the Huracan); this example stacked over $100,000 in options for a $460,000+ sticker.
- 4.Size vs. Huracan: The Temerario is 10.5 inches longer, 3 inches wider, and 500–1,000 lbs heavier depending on which Huracan variant you compare.
- 5.Steering wheel overload: 26 individual buttons, 4 dials, and 2 shift paddles — all to keep driver controls at fingertips at high speed.
- 6.Absurd options: $8,700 for parking sensors and cameras standard on a $50,000 RAV4; $5,900 for two carbon fiber vent surrounds; $4,000 for a passenger display screen.
- 7.Old-school Lamborghini chaos: Owner's manual lists "opening the engine compartment" on page 69 but actually explains it on page 385; "performance" is misspelled on the dash warning; the press car arrived with no license plate.
- 8.Verdict: Doug scores it 70/100 — great car, but the Ferrari 296 is more athletic, and the Huracan was a sharper, more tossable driver's instrument.
