Ooh look, it's the Lamborghini Temerario GT3!
First Look
Spy shot captures Lambo's V8 race car going for a little jog Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a lightly concealed spy shot of a camouflaged Italian racing car? Well, yes, it's that. This is a lightly concealed spy shot of a camouflaged Italian racing car: welcome to Lamborghini's upcoming Temerario GT3.
Exciting, no? We do not know much about the Temerario GT3, only that it is a Lamborghini built for GT3, that it's a V8 racer and not a V10 (obvs), and that its older sibling has left a mighty big shadow.

Its predecessor, the Huracán GT3, won a whopping 96 titles and 187 races between 2015 and 2025, including three successive wins in the GTD class of the Daytona 24hrs, and successive 12hrs of Sebring wins. Overachievers huh. Annoying.
Though, one suspects the Temerario's GT3 drivers won't really care. It'll likely be shorn of the triplet of electric motors that feature in the road car, which means there'll be a more manageable power figure on hand. The road car develops a stratospheric 907bhp, but GT3 regs will bring this down. You might like
Along with the weight. You can expect this 'more comfortable' Temerario to be entirely less comfortable in race trim, and from this lightly concealed spy shot, you can also expect a new aerodynamics package and a mighty rear wing.
Should sound fairly bananas too: the roadgoing car's V8 revs to an ear-splitting 10,000rpm and sends vibrations directly through the car's very bones to give the driver a thrill – what on earth will it send when it's free of electricity?

From horseless cart to va va voom: France's love affair with the Renault
On Christmas Eve 1898, residents of the Rue Lepic in Montmartre marvelled as a 21-year-old inventor chugged up the steep hill on a wheezing horseless carriage. That exploit by Louis Renault, motoring pioneer and racing driver, is due to be celebrated with a recreation of the street in a lavish new museum the French automotive group is building on the bank of the Seine, 25 miles west of Paris. The vast 'spectacular exhibition space' on the site of its historic factory at Flins, designed by the Polish-born French architect Jacob Celnikier, will be the first time the 127-year-old car maker has gathered its heritage of historic vehicles and artworks in one place. Louis Renault in the driver's seat of a Voiturette Renault 1 in 1899 ALAMY The Renault 4 came out of the factory at Flins in the 1960s, the 5 in the 1970s and four generations of Clio, the small car advertised by 'Nicole and Papa' in the 1990s and latterly by Thierry Henry espousing its 'va va voom'.

Mercedes Concept AMG GT XX Gallery: The 1,341-HP Coupe In Pictures
Watch Out, Porsche Taycan Mercedes-AMG has pulled out all the stops for this new electric four-door coupe concept, giving us a look at a potent production model set for arrival in 2026. Not only does the Concept AMG GT XX look special, but this ultra-powerful EV will be able to hit 223 mph, a staggering achievement for an EV, let alone one that can carry passengers in the back. Having already pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved in a hybrid with the AMG ONE, the GT XX looks to do the same for EVs. 1 Source: Mercedes-Benz Finished in Sunset Beam Orange, the new Concept AMG GT XX is a low-slung four-door electric coupe. Its innovations are planned to be used on future series-production models using the AMG Electric Architecture ( ). 2 Source: Mercedes-Benz Not many aspects of this concept are shared with other AMG models, but there is a familiar AMG grille with vertical struts. In this case, is has a more oval and concave shape than we're used to seeing. 3 Source: Mercedes-Benz Six circular taillights are completely unique relative to other AMGs. We can also see recessed door handles, a rear-integrated airbrake, and a prominent AMG logo between the taillight clusters. 4 Source: Mercedes-Benz Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

However, this could change for the production model. 5 Source: Mercedes-Benz A low rear end and special underbody aerodynamic features have eliminated the need for a large rear spoiler, while allowing the car to retain its slippery shape. 6 M Wide, high-performance tires are fitted and wrapped around 21-inch active aero wheels that optimize cooling of the brakes. On the hood, there are two-part air outlets with dual fins. This design can dissipate warm air from the front section of the car. 7 Source: Mercedes-Benz Three axial flux electric motors power the GT XX, and they have a combined peak output of 1,341 horsepower. AMG says the power density of such motors are about three times that of normal ones, and they're also lighter. No acceleration times were quoted, but it should be brutally quick with standard 4Matic+ variable AWD, and the top speed is 223 mph. Oh, and don't worry – this electric AMG will sound good, too. 8 Source: Mercedes-Benz The driver's cockpit is clearly race-car inspired, starting with the rectangular-shaped steering wheel that is similar to the wheel in the AMG ONE hypercar. 9 Source: Mercedes-Benz While there are dual screens as in most modern Mercs, the GT XX's screens are more obviously angled in the direction of the driver. The body structure has been left exposed in sections like the center console, creating a dramatic and illuminated division between the driver and front passenger. 10 Source: Mercedes-Benz A biotechnology-based alternative to leather has been used for the seats, which is made using tires from AMG GT3 racing cars. 11 Source: Mercedes-Benz A 10.25-inch screen sits directly ahead of the driver; to the right of this is a 14-inch touchscreen. 12 Source: Mercedes-Benz Orange ambient lighting is everywhere, including in these slats on the dashboard ahead of the front passenger. 13 Source: Mercedes-Benz The hazard button on the center console bridge is about the only element of the interior that looks conventional. Everything else is dripping with innovation. About the Author Karl Furlong View Profile

Lamborghini is Betting on Synthetic Fuel to Save the Combustion Engine
Lamborghini's plan to keep ICE alive Lamborghini isn't ready to say goodbye to the internal combustion engine. In fact, the Italian supercar company is doubling down on it, even as the broader industry moves toward electrification. With synthetic fuel, or e-fuel, the company believes it can keep the thrill of high-performance engines alive well past 2035, when the European Union's ban on new gas-powered car sales is set to take effect. 0:06 / 0:09 2025 Ford Maverick: 4 reasons to love it, 2 reasons to think twice Watch More The key is that the EU's ruling leaves a loophole: it allows combustion engines to continue, as long as they run on carbon-neutral fuel. Lamborghini's newly unveiled V8 in the Temerario is designed with that future in mind. According to the brand's Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr, the engine can run on both traditional gasoline and synthetic fuel 'without compromises.' E-fuel isn't just a backup plan Mohr recently told Australian magazine CarExpert that synthetic fuel 'could be the savior of the combustion engine,' and emphasized that electrification still hasn't captured the emotional essence of driving a car like a Lamborghini. Lamborghini Temerario — Source: Lamborghini 'If you ask me the emotional side at the moment … I don't see the [electric] solution that is convincing now,' Mohr said. He believes EVs will eventually have their moment, but not before a new generation rediscovers the visceral appeal of combustion engines, especially if they can be made cleaner. That emotional connection is key for a brand like Lamborghini. Sound, feel, and performance are inseparable from the driving experience the company promises, and Mohr thinks e-fuel offers a path to preserve that legacy.

Its parent company, Volkswagen Group, is already testing the waters—literally. Porsche began producing synthetic fuel in Chile back in 2022, converting water and carbon dioxide into a usable liquid fuel using wind power. The resulting e-fuel was used to run a 911, and Porsche has committed to keeping the 911 as its last gas-powered holdout. Porsche 992.2 911 Carrera 4 GTS — Source: Porsche Porsche's e-fuel is made using hydrogen and carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere or industrial sources. It's touted as carbon-neutral because the CO₂ emitted during combustion is equal to the amount pulled from the air during production. The cost is still high, but Porsche's well-heeled buyers likely won't mind paying a premium to keep their engines humming. Other luxury brands are exploring synthetic fuels too 2024 Toyota Mirai — Source: Toyota Beyond Porsche and Lamborghini, other performance marques are also experimenting with e-fuel. Bugatti, Bentley, and even Ferrari have signaled interest. Outside the luxury sphere, Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru are collaborating on alternatives to fossil fuels, and Toyota is also testing hydrogen combustion engines as a potential ICE solution. Final thoughts Lamborghini's bet comes with a lot of caveats. Producing synthetic fuel at a meaningful scale is expensive and energy-intensive. Infrastructure is minimal, and with most automakers pouring billions into electric vehicle development, there's a question of whether there's enough industry momentum—or money—left to make e-fuels viable for the masses. But Lamborghini isn't chasing mass appeal. It's trying to preserve what makes its cars special. If synthetic fuel can offer that thrill without the emissions penalty, it could carve out a future for ICE cars, at least for the wealthy few who can afford them. For everyone else, the road still points toward batteries. About the Author Elijah Nicholson-Messmer View Profile
