Lamborghini Temerario
The Lamborghini Temerario is a mid-engine plug-in hybrid sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini.

There are two other electric motors on the front axle. The motors make use of axial-flux electric motors that provide a larger magnetic surface for better performance. Combined power output is 907 hp. The engine is mechanically unrelated to the 4.0L hot vee Volkswagen-Audi V8 engine (4.0 TFSI). The Temerario uses the existing 3.8 kWh battery pack from the Lamborghini Revuelto.

It will be using the same twin-turbo V8 as the street car, but without electric motors, as these are not allowed in GT3 racing.
