The V12 and V8 engines live on, but every new Lamborghini delivered to the UK in 2026 will come with a hybrid powertrain.
Launched earlier in 2025, the new Temerario has now entered production in Sant’Agata, Italy, completing a fully hybridised three-model range.
Replacing the aged Huracan, the Temerario (pictured above in blue) sits beneath the flagship Reveulto (yellow) in Lamborghini’s supercar lineup.
The model range is completed by the Urus SE SUV (orange), which arrived in UK dealerships at the start of 2025.
An arch-rival for the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren 750S, the Lamborghini Temerario combines a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with three electric motors.
A grand total of 920hp accelerates the ‘baby Lambo’ to 62mph in just 2.7 seconds. Its top speed is 213mph.
Perhaps most impressive of all is the engine’s searing 10,000rpm redline, as explored by Tim Pitt when he drove the latest Lamborghini for Motoring Research.
‘The linear rush of acceleration gains a frenzied urgency beyond 7,000rpm, accompanied by a hard-edged metallic shriek,’ said Tim’s review. ‘Changing up so late feels unnatural at first – I was instinctively pulling the right paddle at about 8,000rpm – but hold your nerve and the Temerario is as unhinged as you’d hope.’
The UK remained one of the most important markets for Lamborghini sales in 2025. It is among the top five worldwide, joining the United States, Japan, Germany and Italy.
Such is the demand for new Lamborghinis in the UK, there is now an average waiting time of 12 months between an order being placed and a customer delivery.
Lamborghini has also expanded its dealer network across Britain, opening a new London Mayfair showroom during 2025.
This takes the current total of UK Lamborghini dealerships to 12, with more locations to be added in 2026.
The importance of the UK to Lamborghini was demonstrated by the global debut of the Temerario GT3 race car at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, plus the successful Lamborghini Day UK event in September.
“Lamborghini enters 2026 in this market with the most comprehensive hybridized super sports car offering in our segment,” said Davide Sfrecola, who took over as head of Lamborghini UK in 2025.
“Importantly, Lamborghini’s appeal with our clients, for our models’ infamous design and benchmarking performance, is enhanced by our hybridisation programme, with technologies making our cars easier and more fun to drive but as emotionally charged as ever.
“This year has witnessed new products, important customer and public events, and expansion of our UK network. And 2026 will see an exciting evolution of the same.”
