This time, it’s not Ferrari or Maserati but another legendary Italian automaker that has revealed an engineering project splendor that will somewhat pose a challenge to tradition. Lamborghini’s big reveal of the impeccable Temerario has shown that this Italian automaker is capable of producing one of the most futuristic engines that could perhaps set the tone for the future of the motor industry. To date, everyone is still talking about Lamborghini’s Temerario.
Temerario: A powertrain from Sant’Agata
Lamborghini’s Temerario was engineered at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese headquarters. This powertrain roars to 10,000 RPM and is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. Due to having three other electric motors, the Temerario is capable of 920 horsepower.
With the Temerario, there is no turbo lag. Instant power is offered by a single tap, all thanks to the axial flux electric motor placed between the engine and the transmission. Agility is further improved by the two added electric motors on the axle that make up this all-wheel-drive system.
Performance is the name of the game with the Temerario, which can go from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 2,7 seconds. Temarario is not just geared for better performance, it is engineered to steal the show, leaving all other powertrains far behind. Lamborghini has surely pulled out all the stops with this one, making it simply unstoppable.
A racing engine that is road-ready
The Italian automaker was strategic and made sure that each element of the Temerario was crafted precisely. Twin turbochargers were carefully placed within the cylinder banks to minimize engine mass.
Core racing features like the engine being fixed to a flat plane crankshaft were taken care of, and titanium connecting rods were used to minimize internal friction and ensure higher engine speed. Technicalities aside, the cooling system itself was reimagined with a 3D-printing core to make sure that combustion chamber temperatures are taken care of.
The Italian automaker did not just reimagine a previous engine; it worked on an entirely new engine that draws inspiration from Formula 1. Whilst keeping Formula 1-type power at the back of their minds, Lamborghini managed to engineer an engine ready to hit the road.
Saying goodbye to the V10 and hello to Temerario
Yes, the V10 was quite the game-changer, too. The V10 was part of Lamborghini’s identity for 10 years, but instead of simply reworking the V10 engine, Lamborghini chose to go down an all-new road. Playing it safe was not Lamborghini’s mission as it bid farewell to its V10 that defined the Huracán and chose to proceed with a Temerario, which does not follow in the Huracán’s footsteps, but reimagine powertrains completely. The Temerario, while paying tribute to Lamborghini drivetrains from the past, is fully equipped to meet the demands set by the newest electrification era. Besides, the Temerario is keeping performance at the back of its mind.
The Temerario is meant to make the overall driving experience better. Torque delivery aside, the Temerario offers all of the feelings of being on the Formula 1 racetrack.
Lamborghini seems certain about the future, and this Italian automaker believes the future is not electric and not hydrogen. Perhaps the future is neatly packaged in the Temerario.
Lamborghini is making bolder moves
Italy shows what’s after hydrogen cars and is known for its revolutionary engines. Lamborghini’s Temerario, too, is showing that tradition is no longer a viable option for the future. Setting new expectations and making a statement of hybrid supercars, the latest engine from the Italian automaker symbolizes sophistication and fine craftsmanship while living up to the legacy of the automaker.
Lamborghini is a rebellious brand, and like other Italian automakers, Lamborghini is choosing to make bolder moves, roaring with the possibilities of power and performance.
