Lamborghini Temerario Launched in India: Prices Start at INR 6 Crore

The company also claims that the electric motor, in P1 position (between the V8 engine and the gearbox), ensures immediate response starting from low engine speeds and continues consistently through gear transitions, working as a "torque gap filler" and improving the transient response, giving the sensation of linear and limitless progression up to 10,000 revs.

Automobili Lamborghini has launched its latest supercar, the Temerario, in India. It features a twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain with not one or two, but three electric motors and the combined peak power output is a claimed 920 CV (907 horsepower).

Other impressive numbers include a top speed of 343 km/h, 0-100 km/h time of 2.7 seconds, and a 10,000 rpm rev-limit. Well, Lamborghini hasn't categorically mentioned that it hits the rev-limiter at 10,000 rpm but I am hoping that to be the case. For example, if the rev-limiter was set at 10,500 rpm, then I am sure the company would have mentioned the higher figure. Still, 10,000 rpm is insane for a road car, which actually puts it in the micro list of production cars that have touched or breached the 10,000 rpm mark.

The Ariel Atom V8 (10,600 rpm), GMA T.50 (12,100 rpm), Aston Martin Valkyrie (11,100 rpm), and Mercedes-Benz AMG One (11,000 rpm) comprise that list. That said, if you want to experience the tacho needle touching 10,000 rpm in a car in India, then the Lamborghini Temerario is your only option, unless of course you have the pull to get any of the other aforementioned cars here. But today, we'll focus on the Lambo.
