Am I going crazy or is there a bit of VW Scirocco in the front of the all-new V8-powered Temerario? I'll leave that up to you to decide. What I'll do instead is focus on the many options this electrified, furious bull is equipped with. Be warned, there are quite a few!
And what’s everyone’s favorite thing about owning a Lamborghini? Getting the specs just right! Luckily, the Italians take it pretty seriously and are giving us all the opportunity to fantasize about a 907-hp two-door monster that can also double as a neighborhood commuter. It’s 2024, after all. Even expensive supercars need to be somewhat versatile.
The Temerario looks a bit like the Huracan, but it comes forward with its own identity. Not having a noisy V10 behind the driver is part of that. The electrified supercar is an aluminum marvel, using very little carbon fiber to ensure it can perform properly on well-paved roads at high speeds and protect its passengers at the same time.
You might think that avoiding extensive use of carbon fiber would translate into a more affordable price, but the scissor-door-less Lambo with three electric motors has an MSRP of $358,000. And if we’re being honest with ourselves, no one would really pay that “little” for the Temerario. Oh, and did I mention it can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) from a standstill in 2.7 seconds? If you’re brave enough, it’ll keep going all the way to its top speed of 213 mph (343 km/h).
If you don’t want to go overboard and ask Lamborghini to make a one-of-a-kind Temerario that’s the product of your imagination and the brand’s craftsmanship, the build process starts with two options: Base or Alleggerita. Since we’re going to make this thing our own without spending an obscene amount of money (as if almost $360,000 isn’t a lot of money already), we’ll start with a white model (Bianco Monocerus).

Finding the balance
First of all, the color. We looked at them all and decided to go with Burnt Orange. It's a very cool bronze shade, which has a classy dark orange look. It won't be to everyone's taste, but it fits the supercar's silhouette very well without falling into exhibitionist territory. If you're a little more daring, there's also a matte version!
This special color deserved some nice wheels that matched the ethos of our Lambo. So, we went with Velador Forged wheels finished in matte bronze. They would also look great with the exterior finished in matte Oro Elios. It's a very bold choice, though!
If you want to track this vehicle and win or feel its unleashed capabilities better than your peers, carbon fiber wheels are available. They are lightweight, which means they are easier to move. The curves will be sharper, but your wallet will also be much thinner.
The right choice for the brake caliper color is undoubtedly the Arancio Chiaro option, and that's what we chose. However, if we had been a little more courageous, yellow (Giallo) or acid green (Verde) calipers would have helped our Temerario look even more spectacular. But what we are designing here is a supercar for a private individual who wants something special for himself without risking too much public attention.

Oh, and yes, we went with titanium bolts. They are lighter and more resistant to corrosion. Plus, there is a good chance they will never need replacing.
Still some improvements
We're not done with the exterior yet! Lamborghini offers us the option to make the Temerario even sportier by painting the roof in gloss or matte black. We opted for the first option, which perfectly matched the Arancio Bruciato.
The VW-owned brand allows for even more blacked-out parts, but we only selected the logo and exhaust pipes with a darker look. Since we wanted to keep this Temerario from costing well over $500,000, we completely skipped the carbon submenu in the configurator.
Inside our Temerario, there will be a combination of grey (Grigio Octans) and dark orange (Arancio Leonis) upholstery with reversed stitching. Since we didn't select Lamborghini's version of the M Sport Pack, the Alleggerita, we went with electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated comfort seats. You deserve to feel welcome after spending so much money. Plus, if the Temerario is your choice for an all-round commuter, you also want to avoid lower back or leg pain.
The seat belt color was an obvious choice. Of course we chose Orange Leonis. This supercar will be very feng shui. It is designed for people who know how to use the word “modest” and are careful. Don't worry, it will also work for those looking for an adrenaline rush!

Having over 900 horsepower on tap doesn’t mean the Temerario is uncomfortable. That’s why we spent a lot of money on a passenger display, RGB lighting (why this is an option in 2024 is beyond me), a $6,500 Sonus audio system, travel nets (again, why?), retractable cupholders, and a power-adjustable steering column. Thankfully, a nose-lift system comes standard. Keep in mind that this could change in the future, though!
We're not done yet!
You might say we did this ourselves, because we wanted a Temerario that would suit almost everyone. However, these days, having a vehicle without advanced driver assistance systems might seem strange. We’ve added the top-level Assistance Pack, which bundles adaptive cruise control, automatic lane change, avoidance assist and improved emergency braking. Believe it or not, blind spot detection isn’t standard. It’s part of the Surround Assistance Pack. We’ve ticked the box for that, too.
If you want more ultrasonic sensors (12 instead of eight) and a 360-degree camera system with 3D view, then the Parking Pack is made for you. It is also made for us, because we have chosen it too.
Driving at night on the highway or at Brainerd International Raceway requires good lighting. You’ll be able to say “It’s lit up!” like Travis Scott, without worrying about the next curve because the headlight package adds matrix capability and a “boosted” high beam.
Somewhat comically, having a place to safely store a fire extinguisher is an option. We (somewhat reluctantly) added that as well. Likewise, an emergency or first aid kit is an extra we don't skimp on. There are plenty of cheaper options out there, but this one will definitely look better.

Are you a fan of the latest gimmicks? Well, you’re in luck. The Vision Pack adds three 4K cameras that allow the augmented reality (AR) system to overlay directions onto your navigation. It also enables dashcam functionality and adds improved telemetry to help you become a better driver without the need for outside assistance.
A Temerario’s resale value won’t be very good if it doesn’t have a tire and tool kit, which means we had to add them to our specs as well. While we’re at it, why not extend the warranty as well? It’s not a bad idea to avoid costly repairs.
We also chose to add the infotainment screen protector but left out the trickle charger, parking mats and premium car cover. The last three accessories could help maintain the resale value, but we'll leave them up to you to pay for.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is our 2025 Lamborghini Temerario. The full build is available in the attachment below. Let us know if you decide to build and order one. We'd love to keep in touch with you. Just remember, the engine can rev to 10,000 rpm. It may be fancy and electrified, but that doesn't mean it isn't a true Lambo at heart.
