Lamborghini’s new hybrid supercar, the Temerario, is making waves as the brand’s latest technological and aerodynamic marvel—sculpted by speed and performance, and dramatically brought to life in a campaign featuring swimming champion Filippo Magnini.
Drawing parallels between the hyper-precise dynamics of elite swimming and the cutting-edge engineering of the Temerario, Magnini speaks to the importance of hydrodynamics in the water just as Lamborghini obsesses over aerodynamics on the road. In the “Sculpted by Speed” video, Magnini emphasizes that in both fields, victory comes down to optimizing every movement, angle, and surface interaction—be it water or air.

Like a swimmer slicing through the pool, the Temerario delivers explosive acceleration—0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds—and a top speed exceeding 340 km/h (210+ mph).
This is powered by an all-new twin-turbo V8 engine paired with three electric motors, for a combined output of 920 CV. It’s the first production V8 engine capable of hitting 10,000 rpm, developed entirely at Lamborghini’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese.
But performance isn’t just about raw power—aerodynamics are at the heart of the Temerario’s DNA.
Its body and underbody have been engineered to deliver +103% more rear downforce than the Huracán EVO, increasing to +158% with the optional Alleggerita Pack. Every exterior element—from hexagonal DRLs that double as airflow guides, to wing mirrors that direct air into radiators—serves an aerodynamic purpose.
The roof’s central channel and curved engine cover help funnel air to the integrated rear spoiler, while a lightweight spoiler in the Alleggerita package further enhances downforce.
Underneath, vortex generators and an expanded rear diffuser extract airflow efficiently, contributing to a massive boost in rear grip.
Cooling systems have been reimagined to match the hybrid powertrain’s demands. A 30% improvement in radiator performance and optimized brake cooling—including air-guiding ducts and specialized deflectors—ensure the Temerario maintains composure even under extreme driving conditions. Brake disc cooling has improved by 20%, and caliper cooling by a staggering 50%, compared to the Huracán EVO.
Ultimately, the Lamborghini Temerario is more than a new model—it’s a manifesto of performance engineering, one that seamlessly blends raw speed, intelligent airflow management, and hybrid innovation into one breathtaking machine.
And in pairing it with Magnini’s narrative of hydrodynamic excellence, Lamborghini isn’t just showcasing a car—it’s celebrating the art of movement itself.
