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.

Ben Collins talks us through his record-setting Top Gear Test Track lap

Former Stig Ben Collins talks about the car he's just set a record time in

Ben Collins has a respectable racing career, movie credits, and a successful YouTube channel to his name. Despite all of this, he’s most famous for a role that was meant to be anonymous. Collins played the part of Top Gear’s iconic tamed racing driver, “The Stig,” between 2003 and 2010.

Despite hanging up the white racing suit, Collins still knows the Top Gear Test Track like the back of his hand, which is useful as he’s just broken another record on it. The accomplished driver officially set the fastest time in an internal combustion engine (ICE) car while behind the wheel of a Praga Bohemia. The Manual recently caught up with Collins to discuss his record-breaking lap, and the vehicle that propelled him to it.
The Praga Bohemia is “a real weapon”
