Lamborghini to Turn Temerario into Supercar Lineup: Spyder Confirmed, Sterrato Still in Question

Following the premiere of the Temerario hybrid supercar, Lamborghini is preparing to launch a full lineup of new models based on the car. Paolo Racchetti, head of the brand’s product line, confirmed that the new architecture was designed from the ground up to accommodate a broad family of derivatives. For the Italian brand, this is a proven business model: over its 11 years in production, the predecessor Huracán spawned 14 different variants. The Temerario’s hybrid platform will allow the automaker to continue covering various market niches without investing billions into developing entirely new vehicles.

The first official addition to the lineup will be the open-top Temerario Spyder. Racchetti directly confirmed the roadster’s development to CarExpert, and early test prototypes with a folding roof have already been spotted at the Nürburgring track.

Headroom for 1,000 Horsepower and Rear-Wheel Drive

Beyond an open-top body, the platform’s flexibility allows engineers to freely experiment with power output and drivetrain configurations. The base supercar features a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors that deliver a combined 920 metric horsepower (about 907 hp) and all-wheel drive. However, for future lightweight and track-focused special editions, that figure could cross the 1,000-hp mark.

As Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr previously told Top Gear, the gas engine is currently running well below its limits. Tuning the V8 and boosting voltage in the electrical subsystem would push output into four-digit territory without major structural changes. A lightweight rear-wheel-drive version is also technically feasible if the automaker decides to disable the front electric motors via hardware and software.

The Fate of the Off-Road Supercar

The most discussed prospect remains a potential successor to the Huracán Sterrato — a lifted supercar adapted for unpaved roads. Racchetti acknowledged that the development team is very fond of the concept and does not rule out its return, but the company has not officially greenlit the project yet.

This caution stems from strict production resource allocation. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann previously noted that while the Sterrato project was a hugely successful brand-building move, release schedules will always prioritize higher-margin core versions — convertibles and extreme track-oriented variants. Therefore, an off-road Temerario is unlikely to arrive in the coming years.
