Driver Andrea Caldarelli Pushes the Lamborghini Temerario to Its Limits

Andrea Caldarelli has pushed the new Lamborghini Temerario to its limits, showcasing the capabilities of this high-performance hybrid supercar. Caldarelli, an official Squadra Corse driver, tested the Temerario at the Misano Adriatico Circuit under various conditions, highlighting its agility, power, and responsiveness.

The Lamborghini Temerario is the successor to the Lamborghini Huracán, a hybrid supercar that combines a twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motors. This hybrid system delivers a total power of 920 hp and a maximum torque of 800 Nm. The Temerario can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 340 km/h.

This model represents a significant step in Lamborghini's electrification strategy, demonstrating that hybrid vehicles can offer exceptional performance and an exciting driving experience.

Caldarelli stars in the video "The Red Zone," which showcases both the performance features of the new Temerario and the essential preparation required for enduring endurance races.

The new hybrid propulsion system combines a twin-turbo V8 engine, designed and developed from scratch in Sant'Agata Bolognese, with three electric motors, achieving a total power of 920 hp. The performance is impressive: it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 343 km/h.

The achievement of such a high rev range is partly due to technical solutions derived from the racing world, such as the flat crankshaft, which ensures optimal fluid dynamics thanks to a uniform firing order between the two banks and a unique, immersive sound. Titanium connecting rods, with the excellent properties of this material in terms of strength and lightness, help reduce weight and rotating masses. The racing-inspired design also includes DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coated mechanical tappets, a material that increases hardness and thus resistance, allowing them to withstand speeds of up to 11,000 rpm.

"The Temerario is an incredible supercar," comments Caldarelli. "It combines high-level performance with a character that makes it fun to drive. Moreover, the V8 engine provides unlimited progression, and as the rev counter climbs towards 10,000 rpm, you feel like you're behind the wheel of a race car, characterized by a unique sound and an authentic, thrilling driving experience."

Caldarelli also tested two of the driving experiences that make the Temerario the best in its class for driving pleasure and fun: Launch Control and Drift Mode. The Launch Control function allows the vehicle to reach its full potential from a standstill. It is activated by pressing the "checkered flag" button in the center of the rotary switch located on the left side of the steering wheel.

The Drift Mode option also debuts in the Temerario, helping the driver to generate controlled oversteer to maximize driving fun. Drift Mode, activated with the lower right rotary switch on the steering wheel, has three different levels: from level 1, which facilitates oversteer while maintaining a limited yaw angle, to level 3, designed for expert drivers.
