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.

Automobili Pininfarina has announced an exciting design collaboration with car culture icon Magnus Walker. This project is all about a one-of-a-kind version of the all-electric Battista hyper GT that blends Pininfarina’s luxury craftsmanship with Walker’s gritty urban vibe and motorsport roots.

The partnership with Walker came about pretty naturally, as Davide Amantea, Automobili Pininfarina’s chief design officer, explained. Back in August 2022 during Monterey Car Week—a big event celebrating cars in Northern California—Amantea was showcasing the Battista, their high-end electric hypercar, to a small crowd.

Drivers bring vastly different cars to a purpose-built track designed to test the driver beyond their limits. The launch episode features eight-time Pikes Peak Class Champion Jeff Zwart. Zwart showed up with a Porsche GT3 Cup Car, a rear-wheel-drive road racer, not a rally car designed for desert racing.

Peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms like Turo are seriously changing the way people in America look at owning a car. A recent survey by American Muscle gives us some cool insights into how folks view these services. A lot of people find car-sharing super convenient and a great way to save some cash. Plus, with so many vehicle options available, it's easy to pick something that fits their needs—whether it’s for a fun weekend trip, a road adventure with friends, or just running errands around town. This new approach is reshaping how we think about getting around and makes life a bit easier for everyone.

It makes total sense that some users feel uncertain about trusting the platform. Concerns about the condition of the cars are fairly common—no one wants to end up with a ride that can't be relied upon. Plus, it’s natural to have concerns about dealing with other people; trusting strangers can be tough. These feelings can definitely make people hesitant to jump in and fully use the service. It's important to recognize these concerns because they affect how much folks enjoy the experience.
