Lamborghini has dropped a bombshell to celebrate its 60th anniversary: the Revuelto, the brand’s first High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV). This isn’t just a hybrid; it’s a paradigm shift, a 1015-HP monster that marries a naturally aspirated V12 with not one, but three electric motors. Forget what you thought you knew about super sports cars. This is the future.
The heart of the beast remains a V12, but it’s a completely new 6.5-liter unit churning out 127 HP per liter. That’s just the beginning. Two axial flux electric motors at the front and a radial flux motor integrated with the eight-speed double-clutch gearbox (a first for a Lamborghini 12-cylinder) bring the thunder to a combined crescendo of 1015 HP. Yes, you read that right. One thousand and fifteen horsepower.
This isn’t some mild-hybrid compromise. A high specific power lithium-ion battery pack (4500 W/kg, if you’re counting) allows for a fully electric driving mode. Imagine silently stalking through city streets, then unleashing the V12’s primal scream on the open road. Lamborghini promises 13 drive modes, ensuring the Revuelto is ready for any occasion, from civilized cruising to all-out track attacks. And yes, all-wheel drive is available even in EV mode.
Lamborghini hasn’t just bolted on some electric motors and called it a day. The Revuelto’s architecture is revolutionary. A new carbon fiber frame forms the backbone of the car, promising rigidity and lightness. The aerodynamics are a masterclass in form following function, with every line and curve designed to maximize efficiency and downforce. This isn’t just a pretty face; it’s a weapon honed for speed.
Inside, the Revuelto features a new Lamborghini Infotainment System, promising a fully immersive experience for both driver and passenger. While details are still emerging, expect cutting-edge technology and a driver-focused cockpit.
“The new Revuelto is a milestone in the history of Lamborghini, and an important pillar in our Direzione Cor Tauri electrification strategy,” says Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman and CEO. “It is a unique and innovative car but at the same time faithful to our DNA: the V12 is an iconic symbol of our super sports heritage and history. Revuelto was born to break the mold, combining a new 12-cylinder engine with hybrid technology, creating the perfect balance between delivering the emotion that our clients want with the necessity to reduce emissions.”
The Revuelto isn’t just an evolution; it’s a revolution. It’s a testament to Lamborghini’s commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining what’s possible in the world of super sports cars. The future is here, and it’s electrified. And it’s packing 1015 HP.

Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA – Lamborghini just dropped a bombshell on Monterey Car Week, unveiling the Temerario, its new twin-turbo V8 hybrid supercar. This Huracán successor isn’t just a replacement; it’s a quantum leap, packing a combined 920 CV and screaming all the way to a 10,000-rpm redline—a production car first. Top speed? Over 210 mph. Zero to 62 mph? A blistering 2.7 seconds. Consider the bar officially raised.
Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini’s CEO, minced no words: “Every new Lamborghini must surpass its forerunners.” The Temerario does just that, pushing the boundaries of performance, sportiness, and driving pleasure. This plug-in hybrid marks the second Lamborghini HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) and completes the hybridization of the entire lineup, following the Revuelto and Urus SE.
The Temerario’s heart is a groundbreaking twin-turbo V8 hybrid, a masterpiece of engineering that allows it to rev to an ear-splitting 10,000 rpm. “With the Temerario, we’ve exceeded our expectations,” Winkelmann proclaimed. “It completes the next chapter in our Direzione Cor Tauri plan by hybridizing the full product line.”
The Temerario shared the Monterey stage with its hybrid siblings: the 1,015-CV, 217-mph Revuelto with its naturally aspirated V12, and the 800-CV, 194-mph Urus SE super SUV. Lamborghini made it clear: hybridization isn’t a compromise; it’s an enhancement.
Even the digital world got a taste of the Temerario. It debuted in the Lamborghini Lab on Roblox, letting users customize their dream Temerario and unleash it on the virtual track.
While the Temerario isn’t on sale just yet (fuel consumption and emissions data are still pending approval), its presence at Monterey Car Week sent a clear message: Lamborghini is charging full speed into the electrified future, and the Temerario is leading the charge.

While primarily known for their road-going supercars, the Italian marque also dipped its toes into the high-octane world of Formula 1, albeit for a relatively short period. Their foray, while not ultimately crowned with championship glory, left an indelible mark and a lingering “what if” in the minds of motorsport enthusiasts.
Lamborghini’s F1 story isn’t one of a full-fledged factory team. Instead, they primarily acted as an engine supplier, partnering with various teams throughout their involvement. Their journey began in the late 1980s, a time when turbochargers were king and F1 cars were pushing the boundaries of technology.
The Lamborghini engine, a powerful V12, was initially developed for the abortive “Project 12” F1 car. This project, intended to be Lamborghini’s own entry into the sport, never materialized, but the engine itself found a home with the French Larrousse team in 1989. The Lamborghini V12, with its distinctive sound and impressive power output, quickly gained a reputation. It was a beast of an engine, capable of producing competitive horsepower, but it also proved to be somewhat temperamental.
The partnership with Larrousse yielded some promising results, including a podium finish at the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix with driver Aguri Suzuki. This result showcased the potential of the Lamborghini engine and hinted at a brighter future. However, consistency proved elusive, and the relationship between Lamborghini and Larrousse was often strained.
Over the next few years, Lamborghini supplied engines to other teams, including Lotus. The legendary British team, steeped in F1 history, hoped that the Italian V12 would reinvigorate their fortunes. Unfortunately, the partnership didn’t deliver the expected results. Despite flashes of brilliance, reliability issues and a generally uncompetitive car hampered their progress.
Ultimately, Lamborghini’s F1 adventure came to an end in 1993. Financial constraints and a lack of consistent success contributed to their withdrawal from the sport. While they never achieved the championship wins they craved, their presence in F1 added a certain flair and excitement.
The Lamborghini V12 engine, even with its reliability issues, was a force to be reckoned with. Its raw power and distinctive sound made it a fan favorite. It was a testament to Lamborghini’s engineering prowess, even if it didn’t translate into sustained success on the track.
Lamborghini’s F1 story is a reminder that even the most iconic brands can face challenges in the demanding world of motorsport. While their time in F1 was brief, it wasn’t without its highlights. The roar of the Lamborghini V12 echoed through the grand prix circuits of the world, a testament to the passion and innovation that the Italian manufacturer brought to the pinnacle of racing. It’s a chapter in F1 history that, while short, is still remembered fondly by many. And it leaves us wondering what might have been had Lamborghini continued their F1 journey.

Picture this: the roar of a V8 echoing across the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, but this time, there’s an electric undercurrent. Lamborghini, amidst the legendary South African track, has just dropped a bombshell – the Urus SE, the raging bull’s first plug-in hybrid Super SUV. Forget whispering about electrification; Lamborghini is shouting it from the rooftops, or rather, the Kyalami event space.
One hundred and twenty VIPs, including Lamborghini heavyweights Francesco Cresci and Paolo Sartori, witnessed the unveiling of the Urus SE in a striking Verde Gea (green), a color as bold as the vehicle itself. This isn’t just a hybrid; it’s a Lamborghini, and it makes a statement.
The heart of this beast is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, but it’s not going solo. A permanent magnet synchronous electric motor joins the party, nestled upstream of the new 8-speed automatic transmission. The combined output? A staggering 800 CV (588 kW) and a monstrous 950 Nm of torque. This isn’t just best-in-class; it’s a whole new league.
Think about it: 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds. 200 km/h flashes by in 11.2 seconds. And the top speed? A blistering 312 km/h. This isn’t your average hybrid; this is a Lamborghini, electrified.
But the SE is more than just raw power. The plug-in hybrid system elevates the driving experience, delivering instant power and torque across the entire rev range, regardless of terrain or conditions. Imagine the control, the responsiveness, the sheer thrill of harnessing that power. Lamborghini has also introduced electric torque vectoring between the axles and an electronic rear differential, pushing the boundaries of vehicle dynamics. This isn’t just about straight-line speed; it’s about carving corners with the precision of a surgeon and the ferocity of a bull.
The design? It’s unmistakably Urus, but with a sharper edge. The redesigned hood, with its floating design, flows seamlessly into the athletic lines, echoing the design language of the Revuelto. The matrix LED headlights, with their distinctive light signature inspired by the Lamborghini bull, pierce the darkness with an intensity that mirrors the car’s performance. A redesigned bumper and front grille complete the picture, a visual symphony of aggression and elegance.
The Urus SE isn’t just a hybrid; it’s a Lamborghini redefining itself. It’s a fusion of raw power and cutting-edge technology, a symbol of Lamborghini’s commitment to pushing boundaries. It’s an electric shockwave rippling through the supercar world, and it’s just the beginning.

Sometimes, a car arrives not just as transportation, but as a seismic event. The Lamborghini Miura, unveiled in 1966, was such a car. It wasn’t merely fast; it was a revelation, a tectonic shift in the supercar landscape. Before the Miura, mid-engine exotics were the stuff of prototypes and whispered fantasies. Lamborghini, barely three years old, took that dream and hammered it into reality, forever altering the trajectory of performance automobiles.
Ferruccio Lamborghini’s tractor empire had given him the wherewithal, but it was a confluence of brilliant minds that birthed the Miura. Chief engineer Gian Paolo Dallara, along with Paolo Stanzani and Bob Wallace, envisioned a mid-engine chassis unlike anything seen before. This wasn’t just about putting the engine in the middle; it was about optimizing weight distribution, enhancing handling, and creating a machine that looked as otherworldly as it performed.
And then there was Marcello Gandini, Bertone’s young design maestro. Gandini penned a shape so audacious, so impossibly beautiful, that it stopped traffic even before it moved. The Miura’s low, sleek profile, its impossibly curvaceous fenders, and those iconic “eyelash” headlamp surrounds – it was pure automotive artistry. It wasn’t just aerodynamic; it was sensual.
The heart of the beast was a transversely mounted 3.9-liter V12, a masterpiece of engineering that screamed to its 7,500 rpm redline. Four Weber carburetors fed the beast, producing a claimed 350 horsepower, a figure that was simply staggering for the era. Imagine the sensation: that glorious V12 howl echoing behind you, the world blurring as you rocket towards an estimated 170 mph top speed. This wasn’t just about speed; it was about the experience.
The Miura wasn’t without its quirks. The early cars suffered from some teething issues, including less-than-ideal weight distribution and a tendency towards instability at high speeds. But these were minor blemishes on an otherwise brilliant canvas. Lamborghini, ever the perfectionist, addressed these issues in later iterations, culminating in the SV, the ultimate expression of the Miura.
The SV, with its wider rear tires, revised suspension, and subtly tweaked aerodynamics, tamed some of the Miura’s wilder tendencies while further amplifying its performance. It was the Miura as it was always meant to be: a visceral, thrilling, and ultimately captivating driving experience.
The Miura’s impact extended far beyond its performance figures. It democratized the mid-engine supercar, proving that such a layout wasn’t just for racing prototypes. It inspired a generation of designers and engineers, influencing the shape of supercars to come. It also cemented Lamborghini’s reputation as a disruptor, a company willing to challenge the established order and push the boundaries of what was possible.
The Lamborghini Miura wasn’t just a car; it was a cultural phenomenon. It graced magazine covers, adorned bedroom walls, and became an instant icon. It was a symbol of rebellion, of innovation, and of pure, unadulterated passion. It was, and remains, a shockwave that continues to reverberate through the automotive world. The Miura wasn’t just ahead of its time; it defined its time, and continues to inspire awe decades later. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most revolutionary creations are born from a desire to challenge the status quo, to build something truly extraordinary. And in the Miura’s case, that extraordinary something happened to be a raging bull of a supercar.
