Young and the Restless Weekly Preview Monday, April 21: Phyllis Warns Billy to Stop With Aristotle

The Lamborghini Temerario: The Quickest Gas Car We’ve Ever Tested While an electric vehicle might shave a fraction off the quarter-mile time, it simply cannot deliver the sheer visceral thrill of the Lamborghini Temerario’s 10,250-rpm V-8. By Eric Tingwall Feb 03, 2026 Move over, Ferrari. The Lamborghini Temerario is now officially the quickest vehicle with an internal combustion engine that MotorTrend has ever put through its paces. Lambo’s 907-horsepower “starter” supercar claimed this coveted title after achieving a scorching 9.58-second quarter-mile run, clocking in at 148.5 mph, and narrowly edging out the 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano by a razor-thin margin of 0.03 second. Of course, there are EVs that can certainly outperform the Temerario in a direct competition. Vehicles like the Tesla Model S Plaid, the Lucid Air Sapphire, and several variations of the Porsche Taycan Turbo have all clocked faster times in MotorTrend’s testing. However, none of them can replicate the raw drama and pure emotion that the Lamborghini delivers. The Temerario’s plug-in hybrid powertrain masterfully blends the immediate low-end torque of three electric motors with the sustained, exhilarating top-end pull of a twin-turbo, flat-plane-crank 4.0-liter V-8, creating an utterly wild and addictive thrill ride. Lamborghini has long been the undisputed master of supercar theater. For the fastest possible runs, the driver selects Corsa handling mode and Performance powertrain mode via the steering-wheel-mounted knobs, then presses the small checkered-flag button to activate launch control. Stomping on both pedals, the engine revs up to 4,000 rpm before the car rockets forward with a controlled, almost violent fury. The all-four Bridgestone Potenza Race tires scream off the line, the V-8 unwinds to a mind-bending 10,250 rpm, and the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission executes a brutally efficient upshift into second gear. The tires chirp again, and the entire exhilarating process repeats itself with ruthless precision. How Fast Is the Lamborghini Temerario’s 0–60-MPH Time? You don’t achieve a 9.6-second quarter mile by waddling off the starting line. The Temerario blasts from 0–60 mph in a staggering 2.2 seconds. While astonishingly quick, this isn’t enough to hold the lead among all gas-powered vehicles. The Lambo sits in third place on our all-time performance records for vehicles with a combustion engine, following behind the Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano and the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S. However, you don’t have to wait long to reclaim the top spot. It takes just 4.6 seconds to reach 100 mph, by which point the Lamborghini is decisively leading both the Ferrari and the Porsche. The Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain Impacts Braking Distances When it comes time to scrub off serious speed, the standard carbon-ceramic brakes haul the Temerario to a stop from 60 mph in 96 feet. While respectable, this is nowhere near as impressive as its acceleration figures. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is almost certainly hurting, rather than helping, Lamborghini in this regard. Our test vehicle was equipped with the $84,100 Alleggerita package, which shaves off 55 pounds, yet the car still weighed a hefty 4,185 pounds. As with the acceleration times, pushing the velocity to higher levels puts the Lambo in a much better light. Stopping from 100 mph in 266 feet, the Temerario ties for 12th place on our list of thousands of vehicles tested. How Does This Bull Perform in the Handling Arena? MotorTrend’s figure-eight course remains the ultimate proving ground for a car’s performance capabilities. It seamlessly combines cornering, braking, and acceleration into a single lap that reveals profound insights into a car’s dynamics, both objectively and subjectively. Pushed to its absolute limits, the Temerario bites into corners with 1.14 g of grip on its way to a 22.3-second lap. This places it 0.7 second behind our all-time record holders—which, in this case, is actually a three-way tie between the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, and the 2022 McLaren 765LT Spider. The starter Lambo’s lap time matches those set by the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, the 2025 Lucid Air Sapphire, and two of its (significantly lighter) predecessors: the 2020 Huracán Evo AWD (3,645 pounds) and the 2021 Huracán STO (3,390 pounds). We like to frame the figure-eight course with a secondary metric: the average g-force generated by acceleration, braking, and cornering experienced over the entire lap. The Temerario’s 1.05 g means that throughout the entire lap, you are constantly being pushed from behind, pressed against your seat belt, or pinned against the bolstering with more force than gravity is exerting on you on this planet. As impressive as the Temerario’s performance numbers are, arguably the biggest takeaway from putting it through our rigorous testing regimen is that Lamborghini has refused to sacrifice an exhilarating driving experience in the relentless pursuit of performance figures. Its Corsa mode keeps everything perfectly aligned for focused, blisteringly fast laps, but the Lambo truly lets loose in Sport mode with playful yet easily manageable rotation. And if that isn’t wild enough for you, the three-stage Drift mode is perfectly set up to facilitate big slides. The Lamborghini Temerario is a potent cocktail of caffeine, adrenaline, and testosterone on four wheels. We look forward to sharing much more about this exceptional machine in our upcoming full road test.
