One of the most popular brands in the world has confirmed it will start deliveries of its new supercar to the UK, as well as accelerating its hybrid plans.
Lamborghini will begin delivering the Temerario in the UK next month, with drivers preparing to see the successor to the Huracán on the roads soon.
The all-new Temerario has a hybrid powertrain that combines a twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motors, providing a total power output of 920 CV.
Lamborghini highlighted that it is also the first and only production super sports car able to reach a staggering 10,000 rpm.

The Temerario will complete a fully hybridised model lineup alongside the High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) V12 Revuelto and the HPEV and plug-in hybrid Urus SE.
It follows Lamborghini's change in electrification plans, with a renewed focus on "emissions reduction combined with heightened performance" across its range.
Chief executive Stephan Winkelmann told the BBC that interest in electric cars was declining, hence the focus on hybrid vehicles.
Original plans suggested that the Lamborghini Lanzador would be the brand's first electric car, with 2029 earmarked as the release date for the supercar.

Davide Sfrecola, head of Lamborghini UK, praised the new Temerario and the brand's wider hybridisation rollout strategy.
He said: "Lamborghini enters 2026 in this market with the most comprehensive hybridised super sports car offering in our segment.
"Importantly, Lamborghini's appeal with our clients, for our models' infamous design and benchmarking performance, is enhanced by our hybridisation programme, with technologies making our cars easier and more fun to drive but as emotionally charged as ever.
"This year has witnessed new products, important customer and public events, and expansion of our UK network, and 2026 will see an exciting evolution of the same."
