Lamborghini Temerario Launched in India: Price, Specs & Top Speed
The era of the screaming V10 engine is officially over, but Lamborghini has given India something even wilder to replace it. The all-new Lamborghini Temerario has arrived, and it is making headlines everywhere. This is not just another supercar; it is Lamborghini’s bold step into the future.
This new model replaces the beloved Huracán. However, instead of a V10, it packs a high-tech V8 Hybrid engine that is more powerful, faster, and surprisingly, can rev even higher. With a price tag starting at ₹6 Crore (ex-showroom), the Temerario is currently the hottest topic for car lovers in India.
Here is everything you need to know about this Italian masterpiece.
What is the Lamborghini Temerario?
The Temerario is Lamborghini’s new “High Performance Electrified Vehicle” (HPEV). It sits below the flagship Revuelto in the lineup. The name “Temerario” translates to “fearless” or “reckless,” which fits the car perfectly.
While the old Huracán was famous for its raw noise, the Temerario mixes that emotion with modern electric technology. It is designed to be a supercar you can drive every day, yet it offers race-car performance when you push the pedal.

Engine and Performance: The Magic Number is 10,000
The biggest news is under the hood. Lamborghini has built a brand new 4.0-liter Twin-Turbo V8 engine.
Usually, turbo engines cannot rev very high. But Lamborghini engineers worked their magic to make this V8 spin all the way to 10,000 RPM. This is extremely rare for a road car and ensures that the engine screams just like a Lamborghini should.
But that is not all. The V8 engine is helped by three electric motors.
- Total Power: When the engine and electric motors work together, they produce a massive 920 PS (907 HP).
- Speed: It can rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.
- Top Speed: It hits a maximum speed of 343 km/h.
Design and Interior: Like a Fighter Jet
If you see the Temerario on the road in Mumbai or Delhi, you won’t mistake it for anything else. It looks sharper and more aggressive than the Huracán. The front features slim LED headlights with hexagon-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). The rear has an open design that exposes the massive tires and the engine cooling vents.
Inside, the cabin feels like a cockpit.
- Three Screens: There is a 12.3-inch display for the driver, an 8.4-inch vertical screen in the center, and a special 9.1-inch slim screen for the passenger.
- Comfort: Unlike older supercars, it offers more headroom and legroom, so tall drivers can fit easily—even while wearing a helmet.
- Drift Mode: For fun on the track, it comes with a “Drift Mode” that lets you slide the car easily using the electric motors.
Price and Competition in India
The Lamborghini Temerario starts at ₹6 Crore (ex-showroom). However, once you add essential options, customization, insurance, and road tax, the on-road price in cities like Bangalore or Mumbai will easily cross ₹7 Crore.
In India, it fights against two main rivals:
- Ferrari 296 GTB: Another V6 Hybrid supercar that is very fast.
- McLaren 750S: Known for its lightweight design and pure speed.
While the competitors are strong, the Temerario stands out because of its high-revving engine and the unique Lamborghini all-wheel-drive experience.
Why This Car Matters
The launch of the Temerario is significant for the Indian market. It proves that hybrid cars are not just about saving fuel—they can be used to make cars faster and more exciting. Lamborghini has seen huge success in India with the Urus SUV, and they expect the Temerario to be their next big seller.
Currently, dealerships across India are accepting orders, but with high demand, the waiting period could stretch over a year.
