Italy -Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A, the manufacturer of luxury sports cars and SUVs launched Temerario a new super sports car equipped with a twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain that redefines the very concepts of performance, driving pleasure and comfort.
The Temerario presents new hybrid powertrain combines an entirely new twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motors, providing a total power output of 920 CV. The twin-turbo V8 has been designed and developed from scratch in Sant’Agata Bolognese and is the first and only production super sports car engine able to reach 10,000 rpm. The performance is an absolute revelation: maximum speed of over 340 km/h (210+ mph), 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.7 seconds.
The new drivetrain incorporates three electric motors. With 110 kW of power each, the electric motors are an integral part of the powertrain strategy. Two oil-cooled axial flow electric motors with a total peak output of 220 kW and up to 2,150 Nm of torque (the continuous output is 60 kW) drive the front axle when required to achieve all-wheel drive. The electric front axle weighs just 73 kilograms, and each electric motor only 15.5 kilograms.
The new Human-Machine Interface (HMI) “Pilot Interaction” serves as the information center of the Temerario. Lamborghini developed the new graphics and design exclusively for the Temerario, evolving the new graphic design DNA started in the Revuelto. A new 8.4-inch display mounted on the center console gives the option to swipe and individualize the themes. While the driver receives information on the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, the data for the front passenger is shown simultaneously on a 9.1-inch screen in front of them. If the pilot changes the driving mode, the display graphics change to match the drive.
Mr.Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said, “The Temerario is a genuine ‘fuoriclasse’: a car in a league of its own, an extraordinary and innovative vehicle both from a technical and stylistic point of view. Every new Lamborghini must surpass its forerunners in performance terms, while at the same time being more sustainable from an emissions standpoint. With the Temerario, we have completed a key chapter in the electrification strategy included in our Direzione Cor Tauri plan: we also become the first luxury automotive brand to offer a completely hybridized range.”
