“Where Heritage Meets Horsepower”

Lamborghini closed out Monterey Car Week with a statement piece. Unveiled on the brand’s stage at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, alongside the world premiere of the Revuelto SV, the Temerario Tricolore is a bespoke configuration built to honor Italian craftsmanship, design, and national identity — and it marks the first time the “Tricolore” name has returned to a Lamborghini since the Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore debuted in 2011 to mark the 150th anniversary of Italian unification.

A Name With History

The Tricolore name carries weight in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Where the Gallardo version paid tribute to 150 years of Italian unity through a single stripe in the colors of the national flag, the Temerario Tricolore picks that thread back up fifteen years later — this time on Lamborghini’s newest High Performance Electrified Vehicle, and timed to the 20th anniversary of the brand’s Ad Personam personalization program.

Design house Centro Stile developed the look in collaboration with Ad Personam, treating the build less as a paint option and more as a full creative statement — proof that personalization at this level extends well past color and material choice.

The Look

The Temerario Tricolore wears a bold, three-tone split: black and teal across the top and lower sections of the body, with white dominating the center panels. Running down the hood is the unmistakable green-white-red stripe of the Italian flag. Black wheels and red brake calipers finish the exterior, giving the car a graphic, motorsport-inspired presence that reads as much as a design object as a performance machine.

What’s Under the Skin

The Tricolore is built on the standard Temerario’s hybrid architecture — a newly developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors. The combustion engine alone produces roughly 789 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, revving to a 10,000-rpm redline that sets a new benchmark among production super sports cars. With electric assistance factored in, combined output lands around 907–920 horsepower.

The Temerario itself replaced the Huracán as Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar, built on an aluminum spaceframe chassis with styling influenced by the Gallardo and Countach. It’s part of the brand’s broader “Direzione Cor Tauri” strategy, which aims to electrify Lamborghini’s full lineup by 2028.

Why It Matters

The Temerario Tricolore isn’t just a flashy one-off — it’s a marker of where Lamborghini sees itself heading: hybrid performance without losing the theater, and personalization treated as part of the engineering process rather than an afterthought. For a brand built on excess and precision in equal measure, the Tricolore threads both needles at once — a love letter to Italian identity riding on some of the most advanced powertrain technology the marque has ever put into a production car.
