JAKARTA - Lamborghini Temerario was introduced some time ago as the successor to the phenomenal Huracan. Unlike its predecessor, this latest supercar is equipped with a smaller 4.0 liter V8 engine compared to a 5.2 liter V10.

Thus, Temerario accompanied the Model SUV Mangur, which has a more compact engine, as well as breaking the tradition of the presence of V10 machines that already exist in Huracan and Gallardo. However, this Italian brand has its own reasons.

Automobile Chief Technical Officer Lamborghini, Rouven Dr. Mohr said his party could return to using the V10 engine in the successor to Huracan, but there are several aspects where manufacturers are finally reluctant to wear it.

We evaluate internally which machine we want to build, namely V8 or V6. We are also considering a new V10 engine, but to comply with emission regulations, the engine could lose 20 percent of its power. It is clear that V10 has been at the end of its life cycle for a long time," Mohr said as quoted by Top Gear, Wednesday, December 4.

He also added that if the Temerario uses a V10 engine, the power will be much greater than the one introduced with the addition of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric drive but is too powerful for an entry-level supercar in the Lamborghini ranks.

"I am very confident that keeping the same engine as a smaller power is not the right choice for our brand," added Mohr.

Lamborghini Temerario will be produced starting in 2025 by carrying the 2-door couple style produced at the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory, Italy, owned by the manufacturer with the banteng logo, went berserk.

This latest supercar is equipped with a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 engine combined with three electric motors and 3.8 kWh lithium-ion batteries, which are the same as Revuelto and Manage SE, resulting in 920 ps of powerful power.

Assisted by the transmission of eight dual-clutch accelerations, this car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hour within 2.7 seconds with the highest speed of up to 340 km/hour.
