Lamborghini Expands HPEV Line With Temerario in Mexico

Lamborghini has introduced the Temerario to the Mexican market, expanding its High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) lineup and reinforcing Mexico’s position as the brand’s most important market in Latin America, according to company representatives. The hybrid supercar combines a newly developed twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motors and is part of Lamborghini’s broader transition to a fully hybridized product portfolio.

The Temerario is the second supercar in Lamborghini’s HPEV family, following the Revuelto, and joins the Urus SE to complete the hybridization of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based automaker’s core lineup. Lamborghini stated the model represents a new technological phase for its super sports cars, integrating electrification without sacrificing high-revving internal combustion performance until at least 2028.

At  its heart is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine developed entirely in-house. It can reach up to 10,000 rpm, delivering 789 hp between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm and 538 lb-ft of torque from 4,000 to 7,000 rpm. The hybrid system features three 110 kW electric motors—two on the front axle for all-wheel drive and one between the engine and transmission—providing immediate torque, improved low-end response, and turbo-lag mitigation. Lamborghini reports total system output of 907–920 hp, depending on measurement methodology.

Performance figures are equally impressive: 0–100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and a top speed exceeding 340 km/h. The hybrid system reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 50% compared with the Gallardo. Energy is stored in a 3.8-kWh lithium-ion battery located in the central tunnel, which can be charged via household AC, a 7 kW charger in ~30 minutes, regenerative braking, or directly from the V8 engine.

Power is delivered through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, lighter and faster than the Huracán’s seven-speed unit. The eighth gear reduces engine speed during cruising, while reverse gear is mechanically actuated. Structurally, the Temerario features a new aluminum spaceframe chassis with >20% increased torsional rigidity, reduced weld length, and significantly enhanced aerodynamics—up to 158% more rear downforce with the optional Alleggerita package.

From a market perspective, Mexico is central to Lamborghini’s regional strategy. Martin Josephi, exclusive importer through Grand Chelem, said Lamborghini sold 80 vehicles in Mexico in 2025 out of 10,700 delivered globally, making it the largest Latin American market. Josephi noted that demand could have been higher if vehicle availability had not been constrained by the Huracán’s discontinuation in 2024.

Lamborghini already has 40 Temerario orders in Mexico, with an average transaction price of approximately US$480,000 per vehicle. For reference, the model starts at US$390,000 in the United States Demand in 2024 was driven primarily by the Urus SUV and the Revuelto, which continue to perform strongly despite no longer being recent launches and tariff uncertainties.
