Lamborghini introduced a new super sports car at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week 2024. The Lamborghini Temerario is the luxury performance brand’s second High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), a hybrid powertrain with a gas internal combustion engine (ICE) and multiple electric motors.

Why the Temerario matters to Lamborghini

Lamborghini views the Temerario as the successor to the completely sold-out limited edition Huracán, setting a new benchmark for power in the super sports car class. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman used the Italian word fuoriclasse, which means “unrivaled or unparalleled,” to explain the importance of the new model.

“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,” Winkelman said.

What makes the Temerario so special?

The greatest talking point for the Temerario is its overall power. Equipped with a newly developed twin-turbocharged V8 gas engine and three electric motors, the Temerario produces a combined 907 horsepower. The V8 is the first in a production super sports car to run up to 10,000 rpm. With that force available, the Temerario can accelerate from 0 to 62.2 mph (100 km) in 2.7 seconds and reach a top speed greater than 210 miles per hour.

Lamborghini is not yet taking orders for the Temerario, and the price has not been determined. Fuel consumption and emissions are in the testing and approval stages. When the Temerario is launched, Lamborghini will have three electrified vehicles, including the Urus SE super SUV and the Revuelto PHEV, the successor to the Aventador.

Ginetta reveals track-inspired limited edition Akula supercar for the road

It's been five years since Ginetta revealed a concept for a race-inspired Akula supercar for the road. The production run of 20 vehicles has begun, and Ginetta is taking reservations for the small number of slots still available.

Torque maxes out at 474 lb-ft at 5,100 RPM and can blast the Akula from 0 to 62.2 mph in 2.9 seconds.
Why the Ginetta Akula is important

Ginetta was founded 66 years ago, but in 2004, Dr. Lawrence Tomlinson, a race driver and entrepreneur, bought the company. Tomlinson, who was victories in the 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race in the GT2 class in 2006, was heavily involved in the design and development of the Akula, According to Ginetta, Tomlinson participated in every stage, including track tests. Tomlinson has also claimed production #1 of the ultra-limited run.

VW simplied the Jetta gas engine model lineup by dropping two models

VW releases 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI starting prices: Two models are gone.

VW released the starting prices for the restyled and updated 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI. Volkswagen followed up on its earlier promise that the 2025 Jetta would have a lower starting price than the previous model year's cost with an automatic transmission. VW added value to both models, but what's missing?

The 2025 Jetta S with an automatic transmission starts at $23,220, including delivery and destination fees, $40 less than a comparable 2024 model. The 2025 Jetta GLI Autobahn, with either manual or automatic transmission, also with fees, starts at $33,940, $930 more than the 2024 Jetta Autobahn it replaces.
So what's missing?
