RAISE YOUR VOICE – The transition from the naturally aspirated V10 to the twin-turbo V8 promises not to make the new supercar lose character Lamborghinisthe Reckless. While waiting for the presentation in August, the first news about the plug-in hybrid powertrain of the successor to the Huracán is starting to filter through. Unlike most cars that upgrade to turbo, the new 4 liter V8 will raise its red zone up to 10,000 roundsthus increasing the limits that the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated 10-cylinder of the Huracán had, reaching heights usually reached only by racing engines and which among road cars is only bettered by the Mercedes-AMG One, GMA T50 and Aston Martin Valkyrie.
QUOTE 900 HP – Although Lamborghini already uses a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 in the Urus, developed by Audi and shared with other brands of the Volkswagen group, that of Reckless it should be developed internally from the Bolognese house. The thermal engine alone delivers a power of 800 HP between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm and a torque of 730 Nm from 4,000 to 7,000 rpm. It will be combined with a electric motor with axial flow placed between the engine and 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, which will transfer a further 150 HP and 300 Nm. There will then be two electric engines for the wheels front. Doubts remain about the total power of the system, which in any case should not be less than 900 HP. What is certain is that the Sant’Agata house has worked on defining the sound, promising “a unique and distinctive character”.
RECOGNIZABLE STYLE – The Lamborghini Temerario (of which we reconstructed the appearance in drawings above) will resemble its older sister Revuelto in style. It will have some details that have now become typical elements of the manufacturer, such as the hexagonal exhaust (positioned in the upper part above the license plate), Y-shaped LED daytime running lights and aerodynamic elements useful for increasing downforce. It is likely that you will adopt a fiber monocoque carbonalthough the body panels could be made of cheaper aluminum.
