ow much power is enough? When the Lamborghini Huracán was launched in 2014 it boasted 610bhp, which at the time seemed like rather a lot. Enough to launch it from standstill to 62mph in 3.1 seconds. Adequate, one might say.
But then hypercars came along with ridiculous horsepower and torque figures, well north of 1,000bhp. Some electric ones have more than twice that. Even hot hatches these days comes with 400+bhp. And so, in the macho world of super sports cars (supercars to you and me), the Huracán’s replacement had to have more power and go faster.
To make this happen Lamborghini has ditched arguably the best thing about the Huracán — its beloved naturally aspirated V10 engine. Instead the Temerario you see here has a new twin-turbocharged 4-litre V8 with hybrid assistance.
