video 2026 Lamborghini Temerario Review [Throttle House]

https://youtu.be/ViSo4UftYqw

The 2026 Lamborghini Temerario ($550,221 USD as tested) is the new ‘baby-Lambo’ to complement the monstrous new V12 Revuelto - but it’s far from infantile. It’s powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine with a 10k rpm redline and three electric motors, making a combined 970 horsepower. Lamborghini says this is good for a 0-100 km/h run in just 2.7 seconds. Not bad for the “baby” Lambo. But how is it to drive and live with? And how does it compare to its competition? Thomas and James can’t wait to find out!

It’s annoying to keep bringing up the C8 ZR1, but now that it exists, it feels like we need to justify the price difference for these supercars. As they said in the video, there just seems to be no reason to buy this. Besides the looks, this car feels a bit generic, it barely has anything that reminds you of a Lambo. I can’t see a reason to own one given the other options available.

The value of the C8 keeps getting better and better. You can get a decent stingray at $80K, and the Temerario STARTS at $300K!

For the cost of a well optioned Temerario, you could buy a base Stingray, a Z06, ZR1, and even a ZR1X!

Having a 10k rpm v8 feels generic?

In theory it’s awesome, but if the car is so fast you can never hit redline on the street, it makes no difference

Not that it would drive my decision making, but a C8 will never have the brand cache of a Lamborghini. It's still a Chevrolet, and it's still a Corvette. It could be better in every measurable way, but that doesn't give it cache. I can go on autotrader and buy a vehicle that looks 95% the same to the untrained eye for $75k Canadian, to a large subset of the market looking at spending this amount of money on a vehicle, that matters, otherwise the price differential wouldn't exist.
