The Huracan's replacement has 920 horsepower, three electric motors, and a V-8 with a ridiculous 10,000 rpm redline.

The Lamborghini Huracán is gone, which means its lovely naturally aspirated V-10 engine is dead, too. But fans of fast Lamborghinis need not worry, there's a new super sports car from Sant'Agata Bolognese that promises to be even more thrilling: Meet the Lamborghini Temerario.

Lamborghini calls the Temerario a High-Performance Electrified Vehicle—or, HPEV—and it packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 plug-in hybrid setup with three electric motors. Total output is 920 horsepower, and it takes the Temerario just 2.7 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour. Top speed is 211 miles per hour.

Lamborghini built this new V-8 engine from the ground up. It has a 90-degree "Hot V" configuration and a flat-plane crankshaft, with two turbochargers running a maximum pressure of 36 psi. Cast aluminum alloy cylinder heads and titanium connecting rods help keep the weight down, while Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated finger followers in the valvetrain ensure the engine can spin up to 10,000 rpm.

Three oil-cooled, axial-flux electric motors join the V-8. Lamborghini stuck the rear motor between the engine and the transversely mounted eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. That electric motor alone produces up to 150 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque. The other two motors, located on the front axle, drive the front wheels and make 82 hp each. Yes, this new Lambo is all-wheel drive—but don't worry, there is a "Drift Mode" function that deploys torque at the rear wheels at three varying power levels. The Temerario also has a launch control function.

The battery pack has a capacity of 3.8 kilowatt hours. Plug the Temerario into a traditional AC charging port with up to 7 kilowatts of power, and the battery will recharge in 30 minutes. It can also be recharged through regenerative braking, or directly from the V-8 in as little as 6 minutes. You can drive using the front electric motors exclusively, but Lamborghini doesn't list an EV driving range for the Temerario.

Visually, the Temerario looks like a mix of the larger Revuelto and the outgoing Huracán. The headlights take up a small sliver of each corner of the hood—they're slimmer even than the Huracán's—and trendy hexagonal LED running lights sit just beneath them on each side of the front bumper. The Temerario has staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels with forged or carbon-fiber options.
