Temerario at Estoril: Where legends and futures collide
There's something almost poetic about Estoril. The Atlantic breeze carries echoes of racing history, and the circuit's flowing curves still remember the 1984 Portuguese Grand Prix when Niki Lauda edged out Alain Prost by just half a point to claim his third Formula 1 title. It's also the stage where Ayrton Senna, in 1985, announced his arrival with a mesmerising drive in the rain, his first F1 victory and a prelude to greatness. So when I arrived at Estoril to test Lamborghini's latest creation — the striking new Temerario, it wasn't just about performance figures. It was about tracing a legacy, with a car that redefines how power, precision, and emotion can coexist in the modern era. From the hexagonal DRLs to the shark-nose front, the car looks like it belongs in tomorrow's world, while staying unmistakably Lamborghini Read: Ferrari Amalfi: Sculpted elegance meets aerodynamic precision A hybrid that doesn't compromise The Temerario marks a new chapter for Lamborghini , the brand's first twin-turbo V8 hybrid, and perhaps its most audacious yet. With 920 CV on tap, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds, and hits 200 km/h in 7.1. On Estoril's main straight, I personally touched 304 km/h effortlessly. But this isn't just about speed. What impressed me most was the fluidity of power delivery, wave after wave of acceleration, underpinned by a thunderous engine note that rises into a 10,000-rpm crescendo. The flat-plane crank V8 is raw yet refined, and when combined with three electric motors, it offers not just muscle but sharp, instantaneous response. Iconic by design Lamborghini calls the Temerario's styling 'essential and iconic' and it's easy to see why. From the hexagonal DRLs to the shark-nose front, the car looks like it belongs in tomorrow's world, while staying unmistakably Lamborghini . Sharp lines, functional aerodynamics, and a visible engine under glass give it theater and authenticity. Every visual element has purpose cooling ducts, rear diffusers, even the roof's central channel that guides air to the integrated spoiler. It's a car sculpted by wind and ambition. The Temerario sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds, and hits 200 km/h in 7.1 seconds Luxury meets precision Step inside, and the Temerario surprises. It's roomier than the Huracán, offering more head and legroom, and even luggage space. Seats are both supportive and indulgent, trimmed in Alcantara and carbon fiber, with just enough digital polish — including three intuitive displays to feel futuristic, not overwhelming. With 13 drive modes, from fully electric 'Città' for city cruising to 'Corsa' for track thrills (plus a drift mode for those brave enough), it adapts to mood and moment. All-wheel drive and torque vectoring bring poise to every corner, while regenerative braking and hybrid assist offer everyday usability without diluting the fun. Connected emotion Tech doesn't end with performance. The Lamborghini Vision Unit turns the Temerario into a storyteller capturing track laps, syncing data with heart-rate monitors, and even recording in-cabin moments via three cameras. It's the kind of feature that transforms a great drive into a lasting memory. And when the V8 quiets down, the Sonus faber sound system takes over, delivering Italian acoustics as detailed as the stitching in the seats. Seats are both supportive and indulgent, trimmed in Alcantara and carbon fiber Legacy, reimagined With the Temerario, Lamborghini completes its hybrid journey — not with compromise, but with clarity. This is a car that's louder in personality, lighter in weight, sharper in engineering, and more expressive than ever before. To put it in perspective: While Senna's Lotus 97T reached 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and topped out around 330 km/h with no electronic aids the Temerario does it faster, with more control, comfort, and connection to the road, making me think wishfully I might have had a chance against him. Driving the Temerario at Estoril, where legends once danced with speed, I found myself asking: If Senna were here, what would he make of this hybrid hurricane from Sant'Agata? Something tells me… he'd have smiled and floored it.

Lamborghini Temerario review: Raging bull finds its voice once again
The air at Portugal's Estoril Circuit has often been thick with anticipation thanks to its Formula One legacy but the buzz on this drizzly summer morning was palpable by any standard. That's often the case with a new Lamborghini, a marque that's long defied convention with audacious design and unfiltered power. Take the Countach, which, despite its notorious handling, influenced the silhouette of nearly every supercar since. Today's centrepiece was the debut of the Temerario. Those accustomed to the theatre of car launches still feel the frisson when a new raging bull is unleashed. Lamborghini is about more than speed – it's about presence and a primal connection to the machine. Even before its official reveal, the Temerario whispered promises of a new chapter in Sant'Agata Bolognese's pursuit of automotive drama. Bathed in defiantly bright colours, a menacing line-up of Temerarios sat in the pit lane. Their low-slung, angular forms were new but unmistakably Lamborghini. Razor-sharp lines hinted at aerodynamic intent – the aggressive stance at massive power beneath its composite skin. Signature Y-motifs were subtly evolved. The colossal diffuser and high-mounted exhausts at the rear looked ready to devour tarmac. This was intimidating beauty, demanding attention rather than requesting it. Underneath it all, an all-new 4-litre V8 twin-turbo engine is paired with three electric motors. This isn't just about horsepower. It's about torque delivered like a lightning strike. The 0–100kph sprint takes just 2.7 seconds, with top speed pushing 350kph. But a Lamborghini, especially one built for circuits like Estoril, is about more than straight-line brute force. It's about the dance between driver, machine and asphalt. In that respect, the Temerario was ready to perform. Slipping into the cockpit, one is immediately struck by the focused efficiency of the interior – not unusual in a supercar, but those not familiar with such vehicles might be surprised by how many manufacturers opt for a questionable cabin layout. Every control is within easy reach, each display angled for optimal readability, and the seats, sculpted for lateral support, cradle me firmly, a necessary embrace given what is to come. Pressing the start button unleashes a growl that vibrates through the chassis and into my bones. This is the sound of nearly 800bhp, spinning up to 10,000rpm. The first laps of the iconic circuit were for familiarisation, with the track and the machine. Even during those tame laps, the car's precision was obvious. Steering was direct and unfiltered, translating track textures to fingertips. With 60% more downforce than the Huracan Evo, even amateur drivers could avoid spin-outs. Carbon-ceramic brakes allowed surgical late-braking – like dropping an anchor with scalpel-like precision. It is possible to hit 300kph on Estoril's straight. Those brakes are needed. A firm throttle press turned the windscreen into a blur. The power-train let loose a mechanical scream. Gear changes cracked from the exhaust in perfectly timed bursts. But the Temerario truly shone in corners. Estoril's demanding mix of sweepers and chicanes saw the car remain planted, balanced, and astonishingly fast. Active aero systems glued it to the tarmac. The chassis stayed composed. Grip through fast turns was phenomenal. Pushing a machine like this to its limits brings primal satisfaction. Despite its sophistication, the Temerario retains Lamborghini's raw, unfiltered soul. It demands full attention. At full tilt, there's no room for error, just controlled chaos. Most drivers exited the cockpit with shaking legs and a desperate need for a strong Portuguese coffee. The Lamborghini Temerario is a defiant ode to the thrill of driving. It reminds us that passion, engineering, and a touch of glorious madness still create the extraordinary. As with almost all supercars these days, it can certainly be used on the road, but, as with almost all supercars these days, something a little larger is probably more suitable for a proper road trip. In the city, it's a caged animal: the symbolic bull, barely contained, straining against the bars. The Temerario isn't just a new model, it's a statement. And at Estoril, it landed with impact.
