Lamborghini has a lot on its plate these days for a supercar maker. It's currently prepping the introduction of the Urus PHEV, which will reportedly retire the regular non-electrified S and Performante, and it is also putting the final touches on a brand-new supercar.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know it is the successor to the Huracan. The current V10-powered model is ten years old and will be retired in the coming months. However, that doesn't mean you can order a brand-new one with only the delivery miles under its belt, as it is sold out until the end of production.

Said to debut before the year's end, the Huracan replacement is apparently known by the LB63x codename within the company. Lamborghini has done a great job of keeping the names of its upcoming products a secret so far. Nevertheless, a recent trademark filing with the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) suggests the Temerario is coming.

The date of receipt is April 2, 2024, with the filing language being Italian and the second language English. Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. is the owner, and the moniker can be used on goods and services. It sounds to us that the Temerario might just be the name of the Huracan's successor, given that it is the company's sole brand-new model in the making, yet we cannot be entirely sure of it.

You see, Lamborghini tends to name its vehicles after Spanish fighting bulls, and a quick online reveals that there was never a legendary Temerario, or at least we couldn't find one. Still, Lamborghini will likely reveal more about it in due course. As for the word's literal translation from Spanish, it stands for reckless and also for daredevil, rash, and temerarious (d'oh!), so it would be worthy of a blue-blooded exotic.

There are still many unknowns regarding the upcoming model (including the name – officially), yet we can tell you that, unlike its iconic predecessors, the Huracan and Gallardo, it won't feature a naturally aspirated V10. Instead, the Raging Bull went for an electrified twin-turbo V8. The displacement and output are yet unknown, and on a more positive thought, it is believed to have been developed in-house. In theory, you won't find it on another VW Group product.

We have yet to see an uncamouflaged prototype or leaked images of the Lamborghini Temerario. Nonetheless, the numerous scoops have revealed that it kind of looks like a smaller Revuelto (Aventador's successor) from certain angles. Lambo's supercars have always had aggressive designs, and the upcoming one won't venture far from the tree at all. We cannot wait to see it in all its glory and learn everything about it, and that should happen in a few months during the grand unveiling.
