Lamborghini Temerario Roars Its Way Into Malaysia
The highly-anticipated Temerario, an HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) which redefines performance, driving pleasure, and comfort, was formally unveiled by Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur. The Temerario, the newest model in Lamborghini’s hybridised product lineup, completes the brand’s transformation. Following the 2023 launch of the Revuelto2, the brand’s first plug-in hybrid Super SUV, and the Urus SE3, this is the second model in Lamborghini’s High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) lineup.
With its class-beating performance, the Temerario establishes a new standard in the super sports car market. The new twin-turbo V8 hybrid engine at its core is a work of Italian engineering that was created entirely in Sant’Agata, Bolognese. This engine’s three electric motors provide an impressive 920 CV combined output, making it the only one that can rev up to 10,000 rpm. This cutting-edge drivetrain allows the Temerario to reach a top speed of 343 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.
