Lamborghini has been noticed testing a prototype for its successor to the Huracán, a automobile considered referred to as a Temerario based mostly on current trademark exercise. The identify is a Spanish phrase that roughly interprets to “reckless.” Equally, the automobile’s Revuelto huge brother includes a identify that interprets to “scrambled” or “unruly.”
The brand new supercar is due in late 2024 with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, and judging by the spy pictures and video it can boast a design that is distinct from the Revuelto, at the very least on the surface. Inside, there look like some similarities, like a floating digital gauge cluster and a skinny digital show on the passenger facet of the sprint.
The face of the automobile is considerably totally different to the Revuelto, characterised by slit-like headlights and huge daytime working lights with a hexagonal form. The automobile additionally has massive intakes on the high of its rear fenders, and appears to be significantly shorter general in comparison with the Revuelto.
Whereas the Huracán and its Gallardo predecessor have been carefully associated to Audi’s R8 supercar, the Temerario will borrow from the Revuelto, together with the adoption of the V-12 supercar’s carbon-fiber tub. This is smart because the R8 is now out of manufacturing, and no matter supercar Audi will launch subsequent will probably be electrical.
Lamborghini has confirmed that the Revuelto’s 8-speed dual-clutch automated will probably be used within the Huracán successor. The transmission, which is Lamborghini’s personal design, integrates an electrical motor within the Revuelto, and the identical will seemingly be true right here as nicely. What is not clear is whether or not the Huracán successor may also have two extra electrical motors on its entrance axle like within the Revuelto.
The automobile is predicted to lose the present V-10 engine and as an alternative go together with a V-8 for the internal-combustion part of its plug-in hybrid powertrain, particularly the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 discovered within the Urus. Lamborghini will use the V-8 in its plug-in hybrid Urus set to reach this 12 months as nicely, and the sound of the prototype’s engine within the video may be very very like the sound of the Urus’ V-8.
The Huracán STJ revealed this week is the ultimate model of the Huracán, and thus additionally the final Lamborghini powered purely by a combustion engine. Simply 10 examples will probably be constructed.
By the top of 2024, all Lamborghinis will probably be electrified, at the very least so far as common manufacturing fashions are involved. The automaker could proceed to supply low-volume fashions powered purely by a combustion engine, although these could also be restricted to trace use, like 2020’s Essenza SCV12. Lamborghini’s first EV, previewed by final 12 months’s Lanzador idea, is due in 2028.
