Lamborghini has quietly tucked away an announcement in its H1 2024 sales results: the all-new supercar, reportedly named the Temerario, will be unveiled during Monterey Car Week. This third plug-in hybrid from Sant'Agata Bolognese is bound to turn heads.

Unlike the Huracán and its predecessor, the Gallardo, this new beast is an all-Lamborghini effort. No more twinning with the Audi R8. Lamborghini’s coffers are so full that they’re splashing out on a brand-new model, sans the need to share development costs with an R8 counterpart. Audi, Lamborghini’s parent company, has no plans to release a new combustion engine R8.

In a departure from the naturally aspirated V10 roar we’ve come to love, the new model will feature a twin-turbo V8 churning out 789 horsepower. Despite forced induction, the 4.0-liter engine will produce 729 Nm of torque and rev up to a thrilling 10,000 rpm. This flat-plane V8 is derived from the SC63 LMDh prototype, where it displaces slightly less at 3.8 liters and pairs with a different hybrid system.

But wait, there’s more. Being a hybrid, the combined power output will exceed 887 horsepower. Nestled between the combustion engine and the Revuelto-sourced, transversely mounted eight-speed dual-clutch transmission is an electric motor that adds 147 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. While other details remain scarce, we do know the “Temerario” will sport a three-motor hybrid system, likely with one motor at the front and another at the rear.

Lambo boss Stephan Winkelmann recently hinted on LinkedIn that the total output will surpass 887 horsepower. That’s about 250 horsepower more than the most powerful versions of the outgoing Huracán. However, expect the new supercar to gain some weight due to all the hybrid components—a necessary trade-off to reduce emissions and meet increasingly stringent regulations.

Speaking of sales, Lamborghini is on a roll. Deliveries rose by 4.1% to 5,558 cars through June, setting a new record for the first half of the year. Existing orders for the Urus SE will keep the factory busy for about a year, despite the plug-in hybrid SUV only being unveiled a few months ago. The Revuelto is even more popular, with new orders not being fulfilled until late 2026.

The last Huracán will roll off the assembly line in December, making way for its all-new successor. Its sister car, the Audi R8, was discontinued in March. The end of an era, but the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Lamborghini.
