Lamborghini flags broader Temerario range as Australian launch details firm up

What Lamborghini has confirmed

Lamborghini has said the Temerario’s new plug-in hybrid architecture gives it room for a wider family of derivatives, including body styles and performance-focused offshoots that go beyond the coupé. In comments to CarExpert, product line director Paolo Racchetti said the platform was built to cover several specific missions and could support different interpretations of the same car. He said a Spyder is coming and that further derivatives will follow, while also suggesting a Sterrato-style off-road variant is possible without confirming it is officially on the roadmap. ¹⁰

Racchetti’s comments also place the Temerario in a line of Lamborghini models that generated many variants over their lifecycles. CarExpert noted the outgoing Huracán spawned 14 derivatives over 11 years, ranging from rear- and all-wheel-drive versions to Spyder, STO and Sterrato models, and reported that Lamborghini sees similar niche opportunities for the Temerario as the architecture develops over time. ¹⁰

Specifications and positioning

Lamborghini’s official Temerario model page describes it as the brand’s first super sports car with a V8 twin-turbo engine and three electric motors, producing 920 CV and 677kW combined. The published technical specifications list a 3,995.2cc displacement, 343km/h top speed and a 0-100km/h claim of 2.7 seconds, with both the English and Spanish pages carrying the same headline figures. ⁵⁷

CarExpert adds that the Temerario uses a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine spinning to 10,000rpm, assisted by three electric motors as part of a hybrid system. Its report says the model is positioned as Lamborghini’s new entry-level supercar after the Huracan, while the Revuelto sits above it as the V12 flagship. ¹

That same CarExpert report says the Temerario is the first entry-level Lamborghini in three generations not to share its underpinnings with Audi, making it the first such model since the 1988 Jalpa. It also says the Huracan and Gallardo were twinned with the Audi R8 in earlier Volkswagen Group-era product planning, but that this time Lamborghini has developed the Temerario without an Audi equivalent. ¹

Australian timing and pricing

CarExpert reported the Temerario would be due in Australian showrooms in the first half of 2026, with a starting price of $613,885 before on-road costs. The same report said this placed the new supercar below the Revuelto, which CarExpert said had launched from $987,908 before on-road costs. ¹

Man of Many reported the Temerario had touched down in Australia in August 2025 and repeated a starting price of AUD$613,885 plus on-road costs. Its report said the model was AUD$155,000 dearer than the Huracán Evo AWD it replaced, although that comparison reflects the outlet’s stated pricing context rather than Lamborghini’s own list-price framing. ⁴

Man of Many also said Australian customers would have to wait until the first half of 2026 for delivery, which matches the timing cited in CarExpert’s coverage. The outlet’s launch report therefore presents the Temerario as already shown locally but still awaiting broader arrival, rather than as a model on immediate retail sale at the time of publication. ⁴

Equipment and launch details

Independent launch coverage said the Temerario combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors, and that it delivers 907hp or 920CV depending on the outlet’s stated output convention. Man of Many said the car produces 907HP and can sprint to 100km/h in 2.7 seconds, while Lamborghini San Francisco described the same model as a 907HP twin-turbo V8 hybrid and said it uses a new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and a newly developed aluminium chassis. ⁴⁸

The launch coverage also detailed the Alleggerita lightweight package. Man of Many said it reduces weight by more than 25kg when lightweight interior elements and carbon rims are added to the body component savings, while Lamborghini San Francisco said the body components alone save 12.65kg and that the package increases aerodynamic load by 67%. GuideAutoWeb likewise said the package was available, and added that the Temerario’s cabin is roomier than the Huracán’s, with more headroom and legroom plus space for two suitcases behind the seats. ⁴⁹⁸

Cabin equipment was broadly consistent across the launch reports: a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch central screen and a 9.1-inch passenger display. Man of Many said headroom increases by 34mm and legroom by 46mm, while GuideAutoWeb reported 35mm more headroom and 45mm more legroom, a small difference that appears to reflect each outlet’s own measurement reporting rather than a change in the car itself. ⁴⁸⁹

Context from Lamborghini’s official pages

Lamborghini’s official pages in English, Spanish and French all continued to list the Temerario within the current model family in late August and early September 2026, alongside the Revuelto and Urus SE. The site also carried related Temerario news items, including a 24 August 2026 Tricolore story and a 4 September 2026 note about the Temerario joining the Italian State Police fleet, confirming the model’s ongoing presence in the brand’s current line-up. ⁶²³
