The Lamborghini Temerario: A 2025 Electric-Hybrid Supercar That Rewrites the Record Books The Legend Awakens: MotorTrend’s Fastest Gas Car Ever Move over, Ferrari. The Lamborghini Temerario has officially claimed the title of the quickest vehicle with an internal combustion engine that MotorTrend has ever tested. This “starter” supercar from Lamborghini, boasting 907 horsepower, blazed through the quarter-mile in a scorching 9.58 seconds at a trap speed of 148.5 mph, edging out the 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano by a mere 0.03 second. While electric vehicles (EVs) might technically beat the Temerario in a head-to-head race—the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire, and several Porsche Taycan Turbo variants have all clocked faster times in our testing—none can replicate the drama, emotion, and sheer spectacle of the Lamborghini. The Temerario’s plug-in hybrid powertrain masterfully merges the instantaneous low-end torque of three electric motors with the sustained top-end pull of a twin-turbo, flat-plane-crank 4.0-liter V-8, delivering an absolutely wild thrill ride.
Lamborghini is a master of supercar theater. For the fastest runs, drivers click the steering-wheel-mounted knobs into Corsa handling mode and Performance powertrain mode, then press the small checkered-flag button to activate launch control. Standing on both pedals, the engine spins to 4,000 rpm before launching forward with controlled fury. All four Bridgestone Potenza Race tires shriek off the line, the V-8 screams to 10,250 rpm, and the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission executes a brutally efficient upshift into second. The tires chirp again, and the entire process repeats in a symphony of high-performance engineering. How Fast Is the Lamborghini Temerario? Blistering 0–60 MPH and Quarter-Mile Performance You don’t achieve a 9.6-second quarter-mile by waddling off the line. The Temerario obliterates the 0–60 mph benchmark in just 2.2 seconds. While this is incredibly fast, it only places the Lamborghini third in our all-time records for vehicles with a combustion engine, trailing the Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano and the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S. However, claiming the lead doesn’t require a long wait. It takes just 4.6 seconds to hit 100 mph, by which point the Lamborghini is already leading both the Ferrari and the Porsche. This phenomenal acceleration is fueled by the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which is mated to three electric motors. The combined output of 907 horsepower and 1,062 lb-ft of torque enables the car to leap from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.2 seconds. The car utilizes an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, ensuring optimal traction during hard launches. The electrification doesn’t just boost power; it also provides a unique torque vectoring system that enhances stability and cornering capabilities. The Weight of Innovation: Braking Performance Under Strain When it comes time to scrub speed, standard carbon-ceramic brakes haul the Temerario to a stop from 60 mph in 96 feet. While respectable, this isn’t as spectacular as the acceleration figures. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is almost certainly hindering performance in this regard. Our test car was equipped with the $84,100 Alleggerita package, which shaves 55 pounds, yet it still weighed a portly 4,185 pounds. Fortunately, as with the acceleration times, cranking up the velocity puts the Lambo in the best light. Stopping from 100 mph in 266 feet, the Temerario lands in a three-way tie for 12th place on our list of thousands of vehicles. The Temerario features an advanced ceramic-composite braking system specifically designed to handle the massive weight and extreme speeds. The front rotors measure 420mm in diameter, while the rear ones are 390mm, both equipped with fixed calipers. These brakes provide exceptional stopping power, but the weight of the hybrid system means the car needs more distance to stop than lighter competitors. However, Lamborghini has engineered the regenerative braking system to work in conjunction with the mechanical brakes, providing a seamless and powerful deceleration feel. Mastering the Track: The Temerario on the Figure-Eight and Skidpad MotorTrend’s figure-eight course is the ultimate test of a car’s performance, combining cornering, braking, and acceleration into a single lap that reveals so much about a car’s dynamics in both objective and subjective terms. Pushed to its limits, the Temerario gnaws on corners with 1.14 g of grip on its way to a 22.3-second lap. This places it 0.7 second behind our record holder—which is actually three record holders locked in a tie: the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, and the 2022 McLaren 765LT Spider. The starter Lambo’s lap matches times set by the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, the 2025 Lucid Air Sapphire, and two of its (much 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 with a second number—the average g-force due to acceleration, braking, and cornering experienced over the full lap. The Temerario’s 1.05 g means that for the entire lap, you’re either being pushed from behind, pressed into your seat belt, or pinned against the bolster harder than gravity is holding you on this planet.
Furthermore, the Temerario boasts impressive lateral grip on the skidpad, achieving a consistent 1.14 g. This confirms that despite its added weight, the car maintains exceptional stability and cornering prowess. The active aerodynamics system, featuring dynamic spoilers and air vents, constantly adjusts downforce and airflow to keep the car planted during hard cornering. This technological integration allows the driver to push the car harder with confidence, knowing that the vehicle’s systems are working in perfect harmony to maintain control. The Driver Experience: Corsa, Sport, and Drift Modes As impressive as the Temerario’s performance is, arguably the biggest takeaway from running it through our testing wringer is that Lamborghini hasn’t sacrificed an exhilarating experience in the quest for numbers. Its Corsa mode keeps everything in line for focused fast laps, but the Lambo lets loose in Sport with playful but easily controlled rotation. And if that’s not wild enough, the three-stage Drift mode sets you up for big slides. The Lamborghini Temerario is a cocktail of caffeine, adrenaline, and testosterone on four wheels. We’ll have more to say about that soon in a full road test. The driving experience is defined by the unique synergy between the V8 engine and the electric motors. The car offers three distinct driving modes: Corsa, Sport, and Drift. In Corsa mode, the car is optimized for pure performance, with sharp throttle response and maximum power delivery. Sport mode offers a slightly more relaxed feel with enhanced comfort, while Drift mode allows the driver to experience extreme oversteer with the help of torque vectoring. The interior of the Temerario is equally impressive, featuring a high-tech cockpit with digital displays, premium materials, and ergonomic controls. The infotainment system is intuitive and responsive, providing seamless integration of navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. The seats are designed to provide maximum support during aggressive driving, ensuring the driver stays comfortable and in control during high-G maneuvers. The overall cabin environment is a perfect blend of luxury, technology, and motorsport-inspired design. Engine Specifications and Powertrain Details The heart of the Lamborghini Temerario is its 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which is the same unit found in the Lamborghini Revuelto. This engine produces 739 horsepower and 633 lb-ft of torque, delivering a linear and progressive power delivery. The electric motors, mounted on the front axle, provide instant torque and enhance the car’s performance in low-speed situations. The combination of the V8 and the electric motors allows for a combined output of 907 horsepower and 1,062 lb-ft of torque, making the Temerario one of the most powerful Lamborghinis ever built. The car’s 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is engineered for lightning-fast shifts, minimizing torque interruption during acceleration. The transmission is optimized for both track performance and daily driving, providing smooth and efficient shifts in everyday scenarios while delivering razor-sharp responsiveness during performance driving. The all-wheel-drive system, featuring advanced torque vectoring, ensures that power is distributed optimally to all four wheels, improving traction, stability, and cornering performance.
