Der Lamborghini Temerario: Ein Hybrid-Supersportler neu definiert

The 2024 Lamborghini Temerario is set to succeed the Huracan with a formidable 920 horsepower. This new model swaps out the V10 for a turbocharged V8 engine, accompanied by three electric motors, while still achieving up to 10,000 rpm. The Temerario marks a transition to a plug-in hybrid system, complete with all-wheel drive for an enhanced performance package.

The Temerario is constructed entirely from aluminum, and at the time of its market launch, there will also be a lighter, more aerodynamic version of the equipment called the Temerario Alleggerita. The standard version of the car has a dry weight of 1,690 kilograms.

The somewhat challenging-to-pronounce name naturally pays tribute to a battle bull. Temerario, who fought in 1875, has a name that translates to "fierce and brave."

Lamborghini Temerario: Exterior

The latest Lamborghini Temerario boasts an exceptionally low front end. Head of Design Mitja Borkert draws a comparison to a shark's nose. This sense of proximity to the ground is further amplified by the placement of the hexagonal LED daytime running lights beneath the slender horizontal headlight openings.

Within the core of the hexagonal lighting units lie air intakes that, in unison with other vents at the front of the vehicle, direct airflow to minimize drag and enhance the cooling of the engine and brakes.

The rear end of the vehicle has undergone significant modifications and features a rather revealing design, showcasing mechanical parts such as tires and radiators, reminiscent of motorcycles. The Temerario's sides, when viewed from the back, are vertical, providing substantial visual support to the bodywork. This is further emphasized by the hexagonal taillights which stand alone, as opposed to the trendy connected light strip seen in recent designs.

The selection of a hexagonal shape is also evident in the design of the central exhaust pipe. The engine is concealed behind a perforated honeycomb mesh which partially exposes it while also dissipating heat from the compartment.

The latest aerodynamic design of the Lamborghini Temerario has achieved a 103 percent increase in downforce compared to the previous Lamborghini Huracán EVO. In addition to the aforementioned front air intakes, the side mirrors have been redesigned to reduce drag and channel air across the flanks towards the side coolers to dissipate heat from the engine.

The roof also features a central channel that directs airflow toward the rear spoiler, which is incorporated into the bodywork. Additionally, the curved shapes of the rear engine cover enhance the airflow around the sides of the spoiler.

The design for the Lamborghini Temerario Alleggerita includes a more powerful configuration from the outset, shedding 25 kilograms and boosting aerodynamic efficiency by 158 percent compared to the Huracán EVO.

This is not a standalone variant like the Huracan Performante, Huracan STO, or Huracan Tecnica, but rather a more athletic setup of the Temerario.

Additional components of the Alleggerita include a carbon fiber reinforced polymer splitter (-0.19 kg), underbody panels made from recycled carbon fiber fabric (-0.55 kg), side skirts (-0.60 kg), and a rear hatch (-9.20 kg). The Carbon Package also features a rear diffuser, mirror caps, and side air intake covers made of carbon, saving a total of 1.82 kg in weight.

In addition to the alloy wheels available in three colors or the forged wheels offered in four colors, carbon wheels are also on offer, sized at 20 inches for the front and 21 inches for the rear.

In the passenger compartment, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFR) is utilized for various components including the door panels, the carbon fiber structural shell sports seats, the central tunnel, the digital dashboard framing, the air vents, the steering wheel, and the paddle shifters.

The vehicle's windows also play a role in decreasing its weight, with the rear window made of Gorilla Glass cutting down 0.85 kilograms and the fixed side windows crafted from Polycarbonate shaving off another 0.45 kilograms.

Lamborghini's Bold Creation

The colors chosen for the launch of the Lamborghini Temerario are Blu Marinus and Verde Mercurius, which translate to blue and green. Additionally, there is a range of over 400 body colors to choose from. This doesn't even include the special hues available through the "Ad Personam" customization program.

Inside the Lamborghini Temerario, the seating arrangement has been revamped, featuring a more vertical tilt of the steering wheel. This redesign has also expanded the space available for both passengers and luggage behind the seats, as well as in the storage area beneath the front hood, which can now accommodate two carry-on suitcases.

Compared to the Huracán, there's specifically an increase of 3.4 cm in headroom and 4.6 cm in legroom. The standard features include electrically adjustable 18-way comfort seats, with sport seats available as an optional extra.

The interior of the Lamborghini Temerario

The instrumentation springs to life with the push of the familiar "Power-Button," which is encased by a red toggle switch reminiscent of those found in fighter jets; the redesigned steering wheel offers customization with carbon elements and allows for access to the majority of onboard functions without the necessity of removing one's hands from the wheel.

On the left side, there are a pair of rotary controls, one of which is encircled by a red crown and used for selecting driving modes, while the middle one, marked with a checkered flag, is for engaging the Launch Control. The lower knob allows drivers to elevate the car's front end to clear speed bumps or ramps. Over on the right side, the rotors are employed to choose different driving modes and to turn on the novel "Drift Mode" feature.

The ventilation outlets are seamlessly integrated into the dashboard, which features a trio of screens. Directly in front of the passenger seat, there's a 9.1-inch screen that displays driving data and infotainment details; the driver has a 12.3-inch digital dashboard to glance at, and centrally positioned is an 8.4-inch infotainment screen that also has a swipe feature, allowing content to be transferred to the displays in front of the driver or passenger with just a flick of a finger.

Upon request, the Temerario can be equipped with the Lamborghini Vision Unit (LAVU) system, which, through the use of three cameras and a dedicated control unit, grants access to Lamborghini Telemetry 2.0, Memories Recorder, and a Dashcam feature. This enables the customer to access telemetry data to enhance their track driving experience, capture their top driving moments, and rely on the added security of a dashcam.

There are three different camera angles provided here – the front camera, which is situated on the headlight to capture visuals of the road or track; the emotion camera, aimed at the driver and passenger to encapsulate the cabin's ambience; and the rear camera, mounted on the hood behind the seats.

Lamborghini Temerario: Powertrain

The Lamborghini Temerario boasts a newly developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, constructed entirely in Sant'Agata Bolognese. It stands out as the first production super sports car in its class to hit 10,000 revolutions per minute. The acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h is achieved in just 2.7 seconds, and it can sprint to 200 km/h in a mere 7.3 seconds, with a top speed of 340 km/h.

Lamborghini's Bold Daredevil

This engine, known as project L411, generates 800 horsepower (which translates to 200 horsepower per liter) within a range of 9,000 to 9,750 revolutions per minute, and it has a cap set at 10,000 RPM. Additionally, it offers 730 Newton-meters of torque from 4,000 to 7,000 RPM.

The two large turbochargers are strategically placed within the 90-degree V formed by the cylinder banks, enhancing overall dimensions, channel design, and heat management. These turbochargers can generate up to 2.5 bar of boost pressure, regulated by a wastegate valve and a speed sensor. The crankshafts are positioned at a 180-degree angle from each other, known as a "flat" crankshaft, a common choice for racing engines.

The connecting rods are constructed from titanium to cut down on weight and the amount of mass that rotates. The cylinder heads are made from an A357 Cu aluminum casting alloy, which is the identical material utilized in the cylinder heads of racing engines.

The water cooling system has been redesigned to efficiently heat up the engine and to control the volume of fluid circulating within it using an electronically managed control valve.

The direct gasoline injection system operates at pressures up to 350 bar to enhance the delivery of fuel into the combustion chambers, ensuring efficient and clean burning.

Lamborghini's Intrepid Model

Additionally, there's an element that emits sound waves into the cabin, aiming to create an impressive auditory experience in all driving modes. The sound produced by the electric motors has also been crafted by Lamborghini's engineers.

The three oil-cooled axial electric motors, each with a power output of 150 horsepower (110 kilowatts), have been designed to assist the gasoline engine while maintaining a compact overall drivetrain. The electric motor located at the rear is positioned between the V8 engine (directly connected to the crankshaft) and the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

It churns out a peak power of 150 horsepower and a torque of 300 Newton-meters, which are utilized for kick-starting the V8 and to enhance the combustion engine's torque at lower RPMs, as well as to counteract turbo lag, ensuring a smooth and consistent power output. Additionally, it serves as an alternating current generator.

Two additional electric motors are positioned at the front axle, providing the option of four-wheel drive when necessary, or solely electric propulsion if that particular driving mode is selected. Each motor is dedicated to powering an individual front wheel, delivering a continuous output of 82 horsepower (60 kW) and a wheel-measured torque of up to 2,150 Nm.

Thanks to the electric front axle, the Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo (LDV) 2.0 system is capable of affecting the handling of the Temerario. It utilizes torque vectoring techniques to enhance maneuverability in tight turns and maintain stability during high-speed cornering.

The Temerario has the capability to recharge while in motion by harnessing the energy from the front wheels' regenerative braking system or directly from the V8 engine. Alternatively, when stationary, the vehicle can be recharged in half an hour by plugging into an alternating current outlet with a power capacity of up to 7 kilowatts.

Lamborghini's Intrepid Model

Located behind the engine is the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, which has been reconfigured from a standard DCT system to enhance space efficiency and reduce weight.

The driving modes can be selected using rotary knobs on the steering wheel. The top left knob allows the driver to switch among City, Street, Sport, Corsa, and Corsa ESC Off modes.

When the target flag button is held down for two seconds, it activates the "Launch Control." The top right rotor is responsible for managing the three modes: Recharge, Hybrid, and Performance.

The tires, crafted in collaboration with Bridgestone, ensure a firm grip on the road for various Lamborghini models including the Huracan STO, Tecnica, Sterrato, Huracan EVO RFT, and the Revuelto V12. Available tire options include the Potenza Sport and Potenza Race, as well as the Potenza Sport equipped with Run-Flat Technology (RFT), and a tailor-made version of the Blizzak LM005 winter tire. The tires come in sizes of 20 and 21 inches and offer a choice of four distinct wheel designs.

Extreme Hybrid Plug-ins:

The Lamborghini Temerario has moved away from the hybrid carbon and aluminum chassis used in the Huracan, opting for an entirely aluminum spaceframe design. This structure introduces a new, high-strength alloy specifically for die-casting, incorporating robust hydroformed extruded sections. It also increases the number of hollow components with slender, closed-section profiles by using internal cores.

Cost of the Lamborghini Temerario

The cost for the Lamborghini Temerario has not been released yet. However, the previous model, the Huracán, may give a slight indication: the Huracan EVO was last priced at a minimum of 200,000 euros, the Huracan Tecnica at about 238,000 euros. At the very least, the Huracan STO was priced at 313,000 euros.

Sources indicate that the cost of the Lamborghini Temerario is expected to rise, though it is unlikely to surpass the starting price of its higher-end counterpart, the Revuelto, which exceeds 500,000 euros.
