Lamborghini Temerario due in Australia in first half of 2026 priced over $600,000

The Huracan successor is poised to arrive in Australian showrooms in the first half of 2026 and will be positioned higher than its Huracan its predecessor.

Lamborghini’s newest model, the Temerario, still has more than 12 months to go before it arrives in Australian showrooms, but its more advanced plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain has already pushed its asking price beyond the Huracan.

Pricing for the Temerario kicks off from $614,000 before on-road costs, making it $229,813 more expensive than the entry-level Evo RWD version of the Huracan model it replaces.

In fact, the Temerario is more expensive than any existing Huracan variant, including the $596,000 STO, and is positioned above the Ferrari 296 GTB ($568,300), McLaren 750S ($585,800), and Porsche 911 Turbo S ($538,700).

But the price rise also comes with a lift in performance, as the Temerario replaces the Huracan’s 5.2-litre V10 (capable of up to 470kW/600Nm) with a plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V8 that punches out a combined 676kW that enables a zero-to-100km/h acceleration run in just 2.7 seconds.

While pricing is locked in, local specification and options are still unclear, and Lamborghini’s Asia Pacific Director, Francesco Scardaoni, told Drive further variants are still too far away to talk about.

“The Temerario will be available in Australia most likely [in the] first half of 2026,” he said.

“We just launched the car now so we’re focused on the worldwide launch and the road show that we’re planning in every country, including Asia Pacific. We are targeting to have the Temerario here early next year to do the official Australian launch.

“[As for] the derivatives, there’s plenty of time [before customers can expect additional models],” he told Drive.

The Temerario is Lamborghini’s third hybrid model with the Revuelto previously announced in 2023 and the Urus SE hybrid due to arrive in Australian showrooms sometime next year.

As previously reported by Drive, the V8 engine is paired with a plug-in hybrid system that utilises three electric motors – two of which power the front wheels when the electric mode is engaged, making this the first front-drive Lamborghini.

Despite the luxury brand not disclosing the maximum range, judging by the 3.8kWh battery and hybrid system it shares with the Revuelto, the Temerario could drive up to 10 kilometres when using the electric function.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals.
