Lamborghini Temerario: The Fastest ICE Car Tested By MotorTrend in 2025 The world of automotive performance is constantly evolving, with electric vehicles (EVs) dominating headlines with their instant torque and mind-bending acceleration. Yet, in 2025, one machine stands out for its raw power, visceral thrill, and groundbreaking performance: the Lamborghini Temerario. This isn’t just another supercar; it’s a statement that the internal combustion engine (ICE) is far from dead. In a recent milestone achievement, the Lamborghini Temerario became the quickest vehicle with an internal combustion engine ever tested by MotorTrend. In a searing quarter-mile run, the 907-hp “starter” supercar blazed through the strip in an astonishing 9.58 seconds, clocking in at 148.5 mph. This feat places the Temerario just ahead of the 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano, demonstrating the pinnacle of ICE engineering in the modern era. The Thrill of the Hybrid V-8
Of course, there are electric titans that can outpace the Temerario in a straight line. Vehicles like the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire, and various iterations of the Porsche Taycan Turbo have all posted faster times in MotorTrend testing. However, what the Temerario offers is something EVs simply cannot replicate: pure, unadulterated drama and emotion. The Temerario’s plug-in hybrid powertrain is a masterpiece of engineering. It combines the immediate, punchy low-end torque from its three electric motors with the sustained, violent pull of a twin-turbo, flat-plane-crank 4.0-liter V-8. This fusion creates an absolutely wild thrill ride that appeals to the senses in ways that quiet, smooth EVs cannot match. For enthusiasts who crave the visceral experience of a supercar, the Temerario is the ultimate choice. Mastering Lamborghini’s Theater Lamborghini is synonymous with supercar theater, and the Temerario is the perfect embodiment of this philosophy. To unleash its full potential, drivers engage the Corsa handling mode and Performance powertrain mode via steering-wheel-mounted knobs. The magic truly begins with the checkered-flag button, which activates launch control. Once the system is engaged, drivers stand on both pedals, and the engine roars to 4,000 rpm before launching the car with a controlled fury that defies physics. All four Bridgestone Potenza Race tires howl off the line, the V-8 screaming to its 10,250 rpm redline, before the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission rips off a brutally efficient upshift into second. The tires chirp and squawk again, and the process repeats, creating a symphony of mechanical symphony that’s unlike anything else on the road. The 0–60 MPH Challenge Reaching a 9.6-second quarter mile requires incredible acceleration off the line. The Lamborghini Temerario achieves a 0–60 mph time of just 2.2 seconds, which is blindingly fast. However, even with this incredible speed, it doesn’t claim the absolute top spot among gas-burning vehicles. The Lambo lands at third place on our all-time records list for ICE vehicles, just behind the Ferrari SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano and the 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S. But the wait to claim the top spot is brief. The Temerario hits 100 mph in a mere 4.6 seconds, by which point it is comfortably leading the Ferrari and Porsche in the acceleration race. This early surge demonstrates the advantage of the hybrid system’s instant torque, setting the stage for the blistering quarter-mile performance that follows. Braking Distance: A Weighty Constraint
When it comes to scrubbing off speed, the Temerario relies on standard carbon-ceramic brakes, hauling the car to a stop from 60 mph in 96 feet. While this is a respectable figure, it doesn’t quite match the spectacle of its acceleration. The plug-in hybrid powertrain, with its heavy batteries and motors, likely detracts from its braking performance. Despite being equipped with the $84,100 Alleggerita package, which shaves 55 pounds, the car still weighs a considerable 4,185 pounds. However, when pushed to higher speeds, the braking performance improves relative to the competition. Stopping from 100 mph in 266 feet, the Temerario places itself in a three-way tie for 12th place on our list of thousands of vehicles tested over the years. It’s a reminder that performance is a balance of power, weight, and engineering. The Handling Arena: Chasing the Leaders The figure-eight course is the ultimate test of a car’s performance, combining cornering, braking, and acceleration into a single lap that reveals its dynamic capabilities in both objective and subjective terms. When pushed to its limits, the Temerario 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 holders—three vehicles locked in a tie for the lead: the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, and the 2022 McLaren 765LT Spider. The “starter” Lambo’s lap is comparable to times set by the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, the 2025 Lucid Air Sapphire, and two 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 performance with a second metric: the average g-force from acceleration, braking, and cornering experienced over the entire lap. The Temerario’s 1.05 g means that for the entire lap, you are subjected to forces that push you harder than gravity. Whether being pushed from behind, pinned against the seatbelt, or pressed into the bolstering, the Temerario demonstrates its impressive handling prowess. The Verdict: Performance Without Sacrificing Thrills As impressive as the Temerario’s performance metrics are, arguably the most important takeaway from this vehicle is that Lamborghini has not sacrificed the exhilarating experience in the pursuit of numbers. Its Corsa mode keeps everything locked down for focused, fast laps, but the Lambo loosens up in Sport mode, offering playful yet easily controlled rotation. For those seeking even more excitement, the three-stage Drift mode is specifically designed to help drivers execute big slides with confidence. The Lamborghini Temerario is a cocktail of caffeine, adrenaline, and testosterone on four wheels. It’s a vehicle that engages all the senses, delivering a level of excitement that no EV can replicate. While the automotive world continues to transition toward electrification, the Temerario serves as a powerful reminder that the internal combustion engine still has a vital role to play in the high-performance segment. It’s a machine that satisfies the craving for speed, sound, and sheer visceral thrill.
We’ll have more to say about this extraordinary machine soon in a full road test, but for now, the message is clear: Lamborghini is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and the Temerario is the new benchmark for ICE performance in 2025.
