The rumor mill plus the imaginative realm of digital car content creators recently joined forces to help us pre-visualize the Lamborghini Huracan's plug-in hybrid V8 successor, allegedly called Temerario.
We have known it for a while – although production of the Huracan hasn't ceased yet, and the Italian automaker even unveiled the STJ special edition of ten units as a celebration of the iconic V10 engine-equipped supercar – the storms of change are blowing from the downsizing PHEV direction. So, while the Lambo Revuelto still features a V12 just like the Aventador before it, only aided by electricity, the next 'baby bull' is set to drop the mighty V10 in favor of a more traditional V8 and also mix it with electricity.
The Automobili Lamborghini Huracan has become, over the years, an engineering icon of the Sant'Agata Bolognese carmaker – it arrived online in December 2013 and debuted on the market during the second quarter of 2014, almost ten years ago. During that time, it underwent numerous transformations – Coupe, Spyder, RWD and RWD Spyder, Performante and Performante Spyder, Evo, STO, Tecnica, Sterrato, Polizia, Avio, Evo GT Celebration, and also the new STJ. Its last trick, though, will be to pass the baton to a differently-named successor, as per Lambo tradition.
According to the rumor mill, this new model will be called 'Temerario,' as revealed by a recent trademark filing with the EUIPO uncovered by the rumor mill in April. Since then, the upcoming plug-in hybrid V8-equipped supercar has (again) been spied up close by our spy photographer partners, and those camouflaged prototypes were deemed enough for the imaginative realm of digital car content creators to try and reveal what's beneath the dizzying white-and-black patterns.
So, therubbertherapyofficial and CocheSpias (aka cochespias1) took to social media with their findings – this unofficial design project seeks to uncover the secrets of the 'Temerario' and tries to make the Lambo Huracan proud of its hypothetical successor. Alas, suppose the real supercar will look like this. In that case, it seems that Lamborghini will face major backlash from the Raging Bull fan community – many folks commented on the sideline of this unofficial design project, calling it boring, too Ferrari-like, or at least "too soft for a Lambo."
Of course, there were also some positive appreciations, especially regarding the rear treatment – although, again, not everyone appreciates another high-mounted exhaust treatment. Now, if we are to make a median of opinions, it seems the upcoming 'Temerario' might be a fine addition to the roster, though only if they dial up the styling's aggressivity a notch or two – at least compared to this informal preview that's not in any way related to the Italian company. So, what do you think?
