Automobili Lamborghini executives were in attendance for the occasion, including Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman & CEO, and Paolo Racchetti, Product Line Director Temerario. Stephan Winkelmann presented the Temerario exclusively for the first time in France during an exceptional event.

With the Temerario, Lamborghini opens a bold new chapter in hybrid design and performance. This model embodies both the stylistic heritage of our brand and its forward-looking vision: lighter, more advanced, more emotional,” stated Stephan Winkelmann. “The Temerario stands out as the new benchmark supercar within the HPEV range. Paris, the capital of creativity and avant-garde, was the ideal stage for this premiere.

The latest creation from the Sant’Agata Bolognese workshops, the Lamborghini Temerario is a new hybrid supercar featuring a twin-turbo V8 engine that pushes the limits of performance, driving pleasure, and comfort. Boasting a 920-horsepower powertrain, it reaches a top speed of over 340 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds. It also features a brand-new sound signature, specifically designed to heighten emotion with every acceleration. The Temerario is Lamborghini’s second model in the High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) range, following the Revuelto, and marks a key milestone in the brand’s electrification journey. It completes the hybrid transition of Lamborghini’s entire range, following the recent launch of the Urus SE.

The Temerario’s design hints at the future of Lamborghini’s legendary mid-engine sports cars while retaining clean, sleek lines that are athletic and well-defined. At first glance, the Temerario reveals Lamborghini’s DNA: integrated aerodynamics, a bold shark-nose front, and a new hexagonal daytime running light signature. The interior mirrors the extraordinary exterior design, creating a balance between digital and physical experiences. Lamborghini employs and combines high-quality materials such as carbon fiber, leather, and Corsatex microfiber throughout the cabin. The Temerario offers significantly more interior space than its predecessor. A low, ergonomic seating position allows the driver and passenger to feel perfectly connected and integrated with the car while ensuring high levels of comfort, in line with Lamborghini’s philosophy of “feeling like a pilot.”

At the event, a special version of Temerario was unveiled: the Temerario Alleggerita (lightweight), in its Verde Mercurius color. This radical evolution pushes the supercar concept even further, featuring a lightweight chassis, sharpened aerodynamics, and cutting-edge onboard technology—crafted for an immersive and extreme driving experience.

The event was held at L’Élysée-Montmartre in Paris, one of the city’s most iconic venues. Designed as a true sensory experience, it brought together journalists, customers and automotive enthusiasts to discover the brand’s latest model in an unprecedented setting. The event was conceptualized with performances that blend modernity with emotion: on stage, ten dancers wearing unique creations by a French designer known for his futuristic vision, paid tribute to the Temerario’s DNA while unveiling the super sports car. Inspired by Lamborghini’s iconic hexagonal shapes and the model’s pioneering character, the outfits incorporated colored LEDs into the fabrics.

The Temerario embodies the new generation of Lamborghini super sports cars. With this new HPEV supercar, Lamborghini completes the hybridization of its entire lineup—affirming its commitment to combining high performance, technological innovation, and environmental responsibility.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
