Lamborghini Delivers First Temerario In India, Expands Hybrid Supercar Push

Lamborghini India has delivered the first Temerario in the country, marking the local customer arrival of its new High Performance Electrified Vehicle and the effective transition from the Huracán era to a hybridised super sports car line-up. 

The Temerario, which made its India debut in April 2025, is the second model in Lamborghini’s HPEV range after the Revuelto. Its arrival is significant for the Italian marque’s India strategy because the country’s super-luxury car market remains small in absolute volumes but increasingly receptive to newer powertrain technologies, higher personalisation levels and limited-allocation performance models.

At the centre of the Temerario is a new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with three electric motors. Lamborghini’s official technical data lists a combined output of 970 bhp, a 0-100 kmph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 343 kmph. The company has also positioned the model as a high-revving hybrid, with the engine capable of reaching 10,000 rpm, a key engineering marker as Lamborghini moves away from the naturally aspirated V10 format associated with the Huracán.

Francesco Scardaoni, Region Director for Asia Pacific, Automobili Lamborghini, said the first Indian delivery was “an important milestone” as the brand strengthens its presence in “one of the most dynamic markets globally”. He said the Temerario represents the evolution of Lamborghini’s hybrid strategy by combining performance with new engineering, adding that the model would reinforce the brand’s position in India.

For Indian customers, the Temerario sits at the intersection of performance, exclusivity and early adoption. The model was launched in India in April 2025 at a reported ex-showroom price of Rs 6 crore, placing it firmly in the rarefied imported supercar space where purchase decisions are shaped as much by allocation, configuration and brand lineage as by headline performance figures. 

The design follows Lamborghini’s newer, sharper visual language, with hexagonal lighting signatures, clean surfacing and functional aerodynamic elements. Inside, the company’s “Feel like a pilot” cabin philosophy brings a driver-focused layout, digital interfaces and physical controls inspired by aviation. Customers can specify carbon fibre, leather and Corsatex by Dinamica through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam personalisation programme.

The Temerario also broadens usability through 13 driving modes, including Città, Strada, Sport and Corsa, along with hybrid-specific Recharge, Hybrid and Performance modes. Its electric torque vectoring and e-4WD architecture are intended to improve traction, agility and stability across road and track use.

India remains a challenging environment for super sports cars, given import duties, road conditions and limited high-performance infrastructure. Even so, the Temerario’s first delivery underlines how electrification in the luxury performance segment is no longer being positioned only around efficiency. For Lamborghini, it is now central to product strategy, customer experience and the next phase of supercar desirability.
