Lamborghini Temerario Demo Car Crashes During Scottish Road Use
A Lamborghini Temerario demonstration vehicle has been involved in a crash in Scotland, resulting in heavy front-end damage to one of the newest supercars to arrive in the United Kingdom. The vehicle was being used by Lamborghini Edinburgh and was among the earliest Temerarios delivered to the UK market.
Images circulating on social media show the yellow Temerario stopped in the middle of a roadway with extensive damage concentrated at the front of the car. The hood area, bumper, and forward structure appear destroyed, indicating a significant impact. The image was shared by the account @supercarsofnewcastle1, drawing immediate attention from enthusiasts due to the rarity of the model.
Specific details surrounding the crash have not been confirmed. Based on visible evidence, the car appears to have left its intended path of travel and struck a roadside barrier. Road and weather conditions may have played a role, as the surface appears cold and greasy, increasing the likelihood of reduced traction. The circumstances suggest the driver may have lost control before the impact occurred.
The Temerario represents a major step forward in Lamborghini’s electrified performance lineup. It is powered by an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine capable of revving to 10,000 rpm. That internal combustion engine is paired with three electric motors, including an axial-flux motor integrated directly into the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
On its own, the V8 produces 789 horsepower between 9,000 and 9,750 rpm, along with 538 pound-feet of torque from 4,000 to 7,000 rpm. The electric motors contribute an additional 148 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. Energy for the hybrid system is supplied by a 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
As a demo vehicle, the crashed Temerario would have been used to introduce customers to the model ahead of wider availability. The incident underscores the challenges of deploying high-performance vehicles on public roads, particularly in less-than-ideal conditions.
