Lamborghini Temerario - Is this the right Huracan Replacement
It's that time and its been a long time the Lambo Huracan entered the market in 2013 a two seat fire breathing V10 stroked the ego of the Noveau Money bringing them the testerones that put bulls to shame. The car was a perfect silhouette, an affordable supercar and in its later years some added the twin turbo to take the Huracan to new heights faster than most of its brethren. Yes its a paragragh on the Huracan, and the reason being is the V10 is dead.. In comes the Huracan replacement this time with a Twin Turbo V8 & Batteries .. let's start there
We've said it before the earth is feeling pain, just keep looking at the wildlife that continues to die off through the years there is a list that shows you that humans are the only thing thriving technically but even we are facing some pitfalls. So in an effort to heal the world make it a better place in Michael Jacksons voice, Electrification is the trendy answer. I won't go to much further but the point is Lambo had no choice but to do something different and introduce an EV into the line up.
High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) product range
Three electric motors. With 110 kW of power each, the electric motors are an integral part of the powertrain strategy. Two oil-cooled axial flow electric motors with a total peak output of 220 kW and up to 2,150 Nm of torque (the continuous output is 60 kW) drive the front axle when required to achieve all-wheel drive. The electric front axle weighs just 73 kilograms, and each electric motor only 15.5 kilograms. I did some Macheene math and in US terms equals to about 400lb of additional weight. Math also tells me this thing from the Lambo article that this will weigh in at 3700 lb. Gathering that information alone tells me it squigies in to something that is fun to drive, and will still have a place on the track, for comparison the Porshe Hybrid will weigh around 3,500 lb, the Mclaren around 3300 lb but its missing the next most important section.....
V8 Twin Turbo... (I know your going to said Audi does it again....) your wrong here. FLAT PLANE TWIN TURBO V8 that can rev to 10,000 RPM ... That's a motorcycle scream believe I know I am former crotch rocket rider. Power from thank god over 6 cylinders go as follows:
HP: 789
TQ: 538
The most powerful V8 TT ever produced mated to Electric Motors and Dual Clutch transmission that gives you a combined output - 907 HP nad 538 LB TQ.
I don't think there is a question that this will be fast 2.7 seconds to 0-60 topping out at 210 mph ...
LOOKS:
Mclaren and Lamborghini have a partnership, no Ferrari and Lambo have a partnership .... folks the cars will have similarities there built near each other and the Aerodynamics dictate a shape. The Huracan has grown mature does it look better, entitled to your opinion but we all know immaturity and wild always brings memories and the old huracan silhouette does look better until we do the in person looks and that is usually when we see it GROW ON YOU .. as they say. This still looks Lambo...
In all Great Engine package with an EV, looks just make the mark, Huracan if drivability and usability is your key .. This may be the best one yet... ooops its called Temerion that is to let you know that is replacing but its all new.
