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.
