This is the last time you’ll see Lamborghini’s next supercar in camouflage. The Huracan’s successor will debut on August 16 at Pebble Beach, but there’s still some testing to do in the meantime. Spotted somewhere in Spain, the “Temerario,” as it’s called, looks striking even in disguise. And yes, the signature hexagonal theme is still very much there.
Not only are the exhausts hexagonal, but so are the taillights that flank them. It’s worth noting that the Huracan Tecnica also has hexagonal tips, but the motif is more pronounced here thanks to the larger, centrally mounted single exhaust. We like the look of the rear bumper with its shaved corners, leaving those big tires partially exposed. Between the two is an aggressive diffuser that incorporates F1-style lights.
To the left and right of the license plate, vents help cool the engine. That growl you hear is no longer coming from a naturally aspirated V-10. Instead, the engine bay now houses a newly developed twin-turbo V-8. It’s rated at 789 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, but it’s not alone. There are three electric motors, pushing the combined output to more than 887 hp. Oh, and did we mention the engine has a 10,000-rpm redline?
Up front, it’s easy to see the Revuelto’s inspiration in the “Y”-shaped daytime running lights—another design element we continue to see on modern Lamborghinis. The lower lights are shaped like hexagons because that’s what they are. The exotic Italian brand has been using hexagons since the Marzal concept in 1967.
Lamborghini has previously said this will be an all-new car. Don’t expect an Audi R8 twin because that’s not happening. Audi, which owns Lamborghini, has said goodbye to its mid-engined supercar for good. The last car was built earlier this year, and there are no immediate plans for a replacement. An electric successor will follow at some point.
