Lamborghini kicks off Temerario deliveries in the UK
Lamborghini has confirmed that deliveries of its plug-in hybrid flagship, the Temerario, will finally begin in the United Kingdom in January 2026. The long-awaited successor to the Huracan—first revealed in August 2024 at Monterey Car Week—arrives as part of a broader push by Automobili Lamborghini to strengthen its position in one of its top global markets.
A timely arrival after high anticipation
After nearly 18 months since its global debut, the Temerario makes its official UK customer launch with both a standard coupe and a lightweight 'Alleggerita' variant. For UK buyers who attended events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed or Lamborghini Day UK at Millbrook, the arrival will feel overdue but welcome. The company has steadily expanded its presence across Britain — including the new Mayfair showroom in London — while also celebrating its heritage programs through Lamborghini Polo Storico events.
Powertrain, performance and what makes the Temerario special
At the heart of the Temerario is a sophisticated plug-in hybrid setup that pairs a twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors. Combined output is rated at 920 ps (907 hp), and the package allows the engine to rev to an impressive 10,000 rpm. Lamborghini positions the Temerario alongside the Revuelto and Urus SE to create a three-nameplate hybrid family, offering customers a range of electrified performance from supercar to SUV.
Highlights:
- Powertrain: Twin-turbo V8 + three electric motors
- Combined output: 920 ps (907 hp)
- High-revving internal combustion engine — redline near 10,000 rpm
- Available variants: Coupe and Alleggerita lightweight version
Alleggerita: the lightweight option
The Alleggerita edition trims weight through extensive use of lightweight materials and focused engineering, delivering a sharper driving experience for purists who want the performance edge. While Lamborghini hasn’t released full Alleggerita numeric weight figures for the UK launch, customers can expect better power-to-weight ratios and more track-oriented dynamics compared with the standard Temerario coupe.
Market positioning and customer demand in the UK
Davide Sfrecola, head of Lamborghini UK, emphasized that the brand is entering 2026 with the broadest hybridized super sports car lineup in its segment. He underlined that hybridization has not dulled Lamborghini's emotional appeal; instead, it enhances drivability and broadens technical capability while maintaining signature design language and benchmark performance.
The UK remains one of Lamborghini’s top five markets globally alongside the USA, Germany, Italy and Japan. Demand is healthy — average waiting times for new Lamborghinis in the UK hover around 12 months, reflecting strong interest in models such as the Urus SE, the V12 Revuelto plug-in hybrid, and now the Temerario.
On the track and on display
Earlier in 2025 the Temerario made notable UK appearances: a hill run at Goodwood and the debut of the Temerario GT3, Lamborghini’s first competition car fully developed at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory. The brand also introduced the Fenomeno, a 29-unit special edition, during Lamborghini Day UK — underlining the company’s commitment to product variety and motorsport relevance.
For enthusiasts, the combination of new showrooms, historic restorations by Polo Storico, and high-profile events means the UK will continue to be a focal market for Lamborghini. Deliveries next January will be a milestone for British customers who have been eager to get behind the wheel of the plug-in hybrid flagship.
Whether buyers pick the standard coupe or the Alleggerita, the Temerario establishes a clear signal: Lamborghini is doubling down on hybrid performance while preserving the visceral character fans expect. The UK launch is the next chapter in that transition.

Looks mega flashy, but are hybrids really the soul of a Lambo? Lighter Alleggerita helps yeah, still feels a bit overhyped and pricey, no?

Whoa, a 10,000 rpm twin turbo V8 plus 3 electric motors? That sounds mental. If Alleggerita keeps it raw, i'll forgive the hybrids. Waiting lists tho...
