Lamborghini have always been the standard in bedroom poster supercars. Their new engine has been hailed as a masterpiece by industry insiders. And with amazing figures like 10,000 rpm and 920 hp, Lamborghini has once again shocked the automotive world. The new engine will be found in their new Temerario supercar coming out this year. A clear improvement on their last car, the Huracan. And their other car the Revuelto features a V12 engine as opposed to this new V8 engine that works in conjunction with two hybrid electric motors to deliver the incredible performance.
Have Lamborghini once again reinvented the supercar for the next generation?
Being the company responsible for inventing the supercar can be very intimidating to say the least. Lamborghini started the supercar era with the Miura in 1966. Completely changing the landscape of the personal automobile for ever. Since then they have strived to stay atop that figurative mountain with their new cars. So has this new engine found in the Temerario done it again for Lamborghini?
It would appear so. After a recent report by a reputable car journalist, some details have surfaced about the new supercar. How is it able to achieve such a high rev count? Using a hybrid system that enables the car to use both the newly designed V8 and the electric motors. This allows for increased revs when compared to previous designs. It also means the new car uses two superchargers to deliver the air that the engine needs.
While their compatriots concentrate on racing, Lamborghini is focused on innovating the supercar for the next generation of gearheads. The new engine delivers incredible performance while delivering the roar that the Lamborghini engines have been known for throughout the years, especially at high revs. Something this new engine delivers with its crazy 10,000 rpm.
Can the competitors keep up with the innovation happening at Lamborghini?
There have been a lot of other Italian car makers that have emerged since Lamborghini released the Miura. With the Pagani Zonda, Lamborghini had a car manufacturer that keep compete for that elusive bedroom poster title. Not to mention a certain “prancing horse” that essentially inspired the creation of Lamborghini. So the pressure to be the best supercar maker has been intense in recent decades.
Lamborghini have always led the way in this regard though. Setting records for innovation in car design and performance throughout its long history. What really makes the new engine different is the way Lamborghini were able to adjust their existing components and design brand new ones. Such as the new V8. It’s brand new and was designed from the ground up by Lamborghini engineers.
This is what is exciting about the new engine. Ther previous supercar featured the legendary Audi V8. A great engine no doubt. But a brand new, purpose built engine that is coming out of Italy is very exciting and an example of what Lamborghini can do when they are given the time and indeed capital to produce their own engines. And it has proven to be revolutionary.
Is the new Temerario the car to beat for the world’s car makers?
The new car is lighter, more powerful, and is cheaper to make thanks to a lightweight aluminium body as opposed to carbon fibre. The general public seem to be focused on the EV market right now. But those who understand the automotive sector have a keen eye on Lamborghini and their new engine. Considered a huge leap forward in what’s technically possible right now, the new car is indeed a “masterpiece”. It remains to be seen if the competition can produce something that can compete with Lamborghini and its new engine.
