Specs

In recent years, the supercar market has been accelerating its transition to hybridization. Consumers not only pursue extreme performance but also hope to retain a certain level of flexibility in daily use. Lamborghini Temerario was launched against this backdrop as a mid-rear-drive hybrid supercar, with its core selling points being 920Ps of combined power, an acceleration capability of 0-100km/h in 2.7 seconds, and a pure electric range of 3.5 km that offers a short-distance zero-emission experience. This test drive will focus on the actual performance of its hybrid system, daily driving comfort, and whether it can continue Lamborghini's iconic driving passion.

The appearance of the Temerario continues Lamborghini's signature sharp lines, with a low and aggressive overall shape. The front features a large honeycomb-shaped grille, complemented by slender LED headlights on both sides, which are highly recognizable. The raised lines on the hood extend from the A-pillar to the front compartment, enhancing the sporty feel. The side profile of the body features smooth lines, and the combination of 20-inch front wheels and 21-inch rear wheels ensures both visual tension and support for handling. The vent design on the fenders not only optimizes aerodynamics but also adds a racing gene. At the rear, the through-type LED taillight cluster complements the diffuser and the quad exhaust layout on both sides; the exhaust sound is deep and rich with layers when activated, showcasing typical Lamborghini style.

Inside the cabin, the interior of the Temerario is primarily black, with extensive use of Alcantara material and carbon fiber trim, creating a strong sporty vibe. The center console layout is simple, with an 8.4-inch vertical touchscreen that operates smoothly and supports CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. The 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster displays rich vehicle information, including the hybrid system status and power output distribution. The seats feature electric adjustment with excellent support, and are also equipped with heating functions, balancing track driving with daily comfort. As for storage space, the central armrest container in the front has a small capacity, mainly for small items, and the glove compartment is also limited, which aligns with the supercar positioning. However, the door panel storage slots can hold water bottles, which is sufficient for daily use.

In terms of power, the Temerario is equipped with a 4.0T V8 engine combined with a three-motor plug-in hybrid system, delivering a total power output of 920Ps and a peak torque of 730N·m. During daily driving, the pure electric mode can cover short commutes of up to 3.5 km with quiet and smooth starts. In sport mode, the engine engages quickly, and the throttle response is extremely sensitive. When the accelerator is pressed hard, the strong push-back sensation is evident, and it only takes 2.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h, making overtaking effortless. The 8-speed automatic transmission has a clear shifting logic, and in manual mode, the paddle shifter provides fast responses, precisely aligning with the driver's intentions.

In terms of handling, the front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension is tuned on the stiffer side, with direct road feedback and minimal body roll during cornering, ensuring excellent stability. The steering is precise with almost no play, giving the driver a clear sense of vehicle dynamics. On bumpy roads, the suspension effectively filters out small vibrations, but speed bumps or large potholes produce noticeable impacts, consistent with the sporty nature of the supercar. The braking system uses ventilated ceramic discs, providing strong and linear braking power with no significant fade after continuous braking, inspiring sufficient confidence.

In terms of fuel consumption, the measured fuel consumption under mixed road conditions is about 10.5L/100km, showing a significant advantage compared to pure fuel supercars in the same class. In pure electric mode, the power consumption is about 15kWh/100km, and the 3.8kWh battery can be fully charged in just 0.5 hours with fast charging. Noise control performs well, with wind noise and tire noise at an acceptable level during high-speed driving, and the engine's sound when engaged has been optimized to avoid being overly sharp.

In terms of safety features, the Temerario comes standard with 6 airbags, lane departure warning, active braking, 360-degree panoramic imaging, and more. ACC adaptive cruise control helps reduce the driving burden during high-speed driving, and the overall safety performance aligns with the positioning of a luxury supercar.

In summary, the core advantages of the 2025 Lamborghini Temerario lie in its powerful hybrid power system, precise handling performance, and lower fuel consumption compared to pure fuel supercars. Compared with the Ferrari 296 GTB in the same class, Temerario has a slight edge in overall power output and offers a more competitive price (RM 1,350,000). It is suitable for supercar enthusiasts who pursue an ultimate driving experience while retaining a certain level of practicality in daily use, especially for those who need to balance zero-emission short trips and track excitement.

Overall, the Temerario not only continues Lamborghini's performance DNA but also enhances daily usability through its hybrid system, making it a supercar that balances passion and practicality.

Pros
The hybrid system delivers strong performance, with 920 horsepower providing a 2.7-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and instant power for overtaking
The eye-catching appearance features scissor doors with a strong presence, often attracting attention and photos from passersby when parked in popular spots
Comprehensive safety features include stability control, active braking, and 6 airbags, ensuring safety in complex road conditions
Cons
Pure electric range is only 3.5 kilometers, low practicality, needs to switch to hybrid mode when air conditioning is on high or during short-distance driving
Some interior details need to be optimized, the 8.4-inch vertical screen is dazzling when bumpy, and the co-pilot screen size is relatively small
The wide body makes it inconvenient to find parking spaces in old neighborhoods or narrow roads, requiring frequent adjustment of side mirrors

Last Thursday after work, I was caught in a heavy rain as soon as I stepped out of the office building. The LED headlights of the Temerario were extremely penetrating in the rain and fog, and the 360-degree imaging helped me smoothly exit the congested parking lot. While driving uphill, the hybrid system's 920 horsepower made overtaking effortless, but the 3.5km pure electric range was quite impractical. The Sonus Faber audio system in the interior had excellent sound quality, but the 8.4-inch vertical screen was a bit dazzling on bumpy mountain roads. Overall, the appearance is stunning, but I deducted one point each for performance and interior because practical details could still be optimized for Malaysia's rainy season and mountain roads.

Previously, I drove a 911 Turbo S, but I switched to the Temerario for its hybrid power and aggression—during the traffic jams in Kuala Lumpur's morning rush hour, the electric mode moves the car quietly, and when the light turns green, the petrol-electric combo explodes together. It breaks 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, overtaking the Vellfire next to it in a flash—absolutely thrilling! Appearance gets a full score; every time I park under the Petronas Twin Towers, it gets surrounded by people taking photos. Once the scissor doors open, the aura is instantly maxed out. The interior gets 4 stars because the passenger-side screen is a bit small, but the Sonus Faber sound system is super impressive when playing Malaysian songs on the highway. The pure electric range of 3.5km is almost useless, but the hybrid system ensures instant power on the North-South Expressway when overtaking, and I’ve tried its top speed of 343 km/h once on the Malacca Highway—it’s unbelievably stable. The price of 1.35 million MYR does sting a bit, but the head-turning factor and exhilaration are totally worth it!

Step on the pedal during the morning rush hour to instantly overtake, even when it's jammed like sardines, the pure electric mode still glides smoothly; but the pure electric range is too short, turn the air conditioning up a bit and you have to switch to hybrid mode. And with this wide body, finding a parking spot in old neighborhoods takes ages and folding the mirrors is a must. But once the engine roars, everything is worth it!

Previously, I drove a 911 Turbo S, which I thought was already powerful enough. But the hybrid system of the Temerario is a "double-sided personality" in Kuala Lumpur's morning rush hour — slipping silently in pure electric mode and blasting off at green lights, reaching 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds, leaving even the motorbikes behind in confusion. However, its pure electric range is only 3.5 kilometers, which is not sufficient for quiet cruising on the highway, falling short compared to competitors, minus 1 point for performance. Safety is maxed out though; last time I skidded on a rainy mountain road in Penang, and the stability control system saved me instantly. The 6 airbags and active braking also prevented a collision during a traffic jam in Malacca. On a weekend drive to Genting Highlands, the double-wishbone suspension absorbed all the bumps in the corners, but there's no rear seat, so I could only squeeze two friends in. Spending 1.35 million MYR for a hybrid raging bull—totally worth it!

Today, I stepped on the accelerator deeply for the first time, and I was pressed hard against the seat — the push-back feeling is even crazier than I imagined!
