Lamborghini rarely arrives quietly at Pebble Beach, and this year’s display had more than one reason to pull a crowd.
While the Revuelto SV drew the expected attention, the Temerario made its own case in a far more divisive way, wearing a Tricolore specification that leans into colour, contrast and national identity rather than subtlety.
It’s a useful reminder that Lamborghini’s entry supercar line has never been about playing background music.
At a glance
- Lamborghini presented the Temerario at Pebble Beach in a distinctive Tricolore specification.
- The car wears a horizontal triple-tone paint scheme with black, teal and white sections, plus an Italian tricolor stripe over the hood.
- Power comes from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid system producing a combined 907 hp.
A Tricolore finish that doesn’t aim for quiet approval
The Temerario’s Pebble Beach configuration uses a horizontal split finish rather than a simple stripe-and-body-colour treatment.
The upper portion is finished in black, the lower section uses a teal shade, and the remaining body panels are painted white.
Across the hood runs the Italian tricolor stripe, a familiar Lamborghini cue that immediately links the car to the brand’s home country.
Black wheels and red brake calipers add more contrast, giving the whole specification a show-car intensity that feels appropriate for Monterey Car Week.
It’s not a universally restrained look, and that seems to be part of the point.
The earlier Gallardo Tricolore wore the theme with a cleaner, more traditional arrangement, while this Temerario feels more graphic and contemporary.
That has made it a conversation piece among enthusiasts, with reactions split between those who appreciate the drama and those who prefer Lamborghini’s cleaner historical executions.
The new baby Lamborghini now speaks hybrid
The paint may be the first thing people notice, but the mechanical story underneath is more important for Lamborghini’s future.
The Temerario is powered by a new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 paired with three electric motors.
On its own, the combustion engine produces 789 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque.
The electric side contributes an additional 148 hp and 221 lb-ft, bringing combined output to 907 hp and 538 lb-ft.
That makes the Temerario a very different proposition from the naturally aspirated V10 lineage that helped define the Gallardo and Huracán eras.
The move to a V8 hybrid layout is not just a technical change, it resets expectations for Lamborghini’s smaller supercar in sound, response and performance character.
Pebble Beach gave the Temerario room to be loud
Pebble Beach is often associated with heritage metal, concours lawns and discreet collector taste, but Monterey Car Week also rewards spectacle.
For Lamborghini, that balance suits the Temerario particularly well.
The model sits below the Revuelto in the modern range, yet its role is anything but secondary.
This is the car tasked with carrying Lamborghini’s more accessible supercar bloodline into the hybrid age, while still looking and feeling unmistakably extroverted.
The Tricolore specification reinforces that brief.
It won’t be the spec for everyone, but it demonstrates how much visual range the Temerario’s shape can handle, from restrained to theatrical.

The Temerario Tricolore may not have been the most understated Lamborghini at Pebble Beach, but understatement has never been the brand’s strongest currency.
As a visual statement for a new hybrid-era supercar, it does exactly what it needs to do, it gets people looking, talking and taking the baby Lamborghini seriously.
