Rooted in the rich traditions of Italian excellence, the continued partnership celebrates the brands’ shared heritage, showcasing the best of both Sonus faber and Lamborghini. The new Temerario is designed to offer top-level performance and comfort, equipped with a 920 CV twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain offering the highest levels of performance and several groundbreaking upgrades in comparison to its predecessor, the Huracán.
With the new Temerario, Lamborghini also takes an entirely new approach, with several years of development, delivering an unprecedented super sports car powertrain, comprised of an extremely high-revving biturbo Internal Combustion Engine concept combined with three electric motors. The new powertrain is integral to the second super sports car in Lamborghini's High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) product range.
To complement this unique powertrain, Lamborghini also invested significant technical effort in the development of a unique and unmistakable audio experience, ensuring a highly emotive and unmistakably Lamborghini sound and sensation feedback. A special connection between the engine banks enhances the sound effect of the power unit subject to the engine speed. Depending on the driving mode, the silencer box and exhaust valve of the V8 biturbo work in the low rev range to improve acoustic comfort. At the same time, the different driving modes are clearly differentiated through acoustic tuning.
An exhaust system routed from the manifold to the tailpipes also acoustically emphasizes the combustion processes of the engine. In addition, Lamborghini has designed the engine mounts and body in such a way that the drive has a flat crankshaft character that can be felt by the driver at high engine speeds and under full load. Lamborghini makes the amplitude of these vibrations more pronounced at high engine speeds, which enhances the overall impression of speed and power at high revs. The sound engineers also manage to transport the pleasantly sporty acoustics into the interior and at the same time emphasize the desired frequencies by means of lightweight body parts and panels. As the engine speed increases, the seat vibrations intensify, especially at higher engine speeds of up to 10,000 rpm: a speed range previously only known from motorsport.
Furthermore, an additional sound symposer emits acoustic waves into the interior, creating an immersive auditory experience in every driving mode. Lamborghini has also designed a completely different soundscape for the different driving modes Città, Strada, Sport and Corsa. In Città mode, Lamborghini offers a high level of comfort with a special sound from the electric drive unit. The composition achieves a smooth and pleasant listening experience in urban environments. In Città mode, the Temerario is emission-free and quiet.
Temerario is also the most advanced vehicle in Lamborghini’s history from a multimedia standpoint. The connectivity suite incorporates entertainment content including web radio, voice assistant and wireless smartphone connection via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Temerario offers a Human Machine Interface (HMI) system which consists of three displays: the 12.3" digital instrument panel, the 8.4" central screen and the 9.1" passenger display. The Infotainment system implements new functions with a wide range of customization options to create a truly immersive experience, including the swipe function that allows users to move contents from the central monitor to the driver and passenger displays with a gesture of the fingers, like on a smartphone screen.
Technology, style, performance and comfort come together to create an emotive and luxurious experience driven by the Temerario’s encompassing cabin and powerful engine, which is seamlessly complemented by the Sonus faber sound system.
"The Lamborghini Temerario represents the second and incredibly important milestone for Sonus faber, further enhancing the collaboration between these two historic Italian luxury brands. Sonus faber is thrilled to bring their unique element d state-of-the-art natural sound to this new, superlative vehicle," says Fiore Cappelletto, Vice President and General Manager Automotive at McIntosh Group.
"Thanks to the combined efforts of the Design and R&D team headed by Livio Cucuzza, Chief Design Officer at Sonus faber, and Lamborghini's team, our continued partnership transcends the ordinary, presenting not just an audio system but a symphony of sound and design that embodies the elegance of Italian aesthetics. Sonus faber is a company that, in addition to creating true works of art for the finest living rooms in the world, collaborates with the most prestigious luxury brands to integrate high-fidelity and Natural Sound into new realms – and the Temerario is no exception."
The Lamborghini Temerario sound system was meticulously crafted to deliver natural, clear and detailed sound. The system features seven speakers in total, with one tweeter and one midwoofer in each door, one full-range in the dashboard as center channel, and two integrated full-range speakers with surround function, which are positioned right behind pilot and co-pilot enriching the sound experience. Each driver was specifically engineered to deliver Sonus faber's unique natural sound, while the whole system was tuned to recreate a very detailed soundstage with a masterful symmetry of sound.
The new Human-Machine Interface enables control over the surround sound mode capabilities, elevating the driving experience to an unprecedented level. The system is powered by a full Class-D amplifier delivering up to 750 Watts of power, which, in combination with a very powerful DSP, ensures smooth transitions between electrical signals and acoustical tones. The Temerario’s encompassing cabin and powerful engine are seamlessly complemented by the Sonus faber sound system, guaranteeing an emotive and luxurious experience.
