Would you prefer the Temerario to the Huracan if it looked better? What appeals more to you between these two cars, the looks, the speed & horsepower, the technology, the engine sound, the exhaust sound, the interior design? What about the price tag between the two. What about the reliability or repair costs when things break down in the future with this very complex machine?

I think it looks better in person than the photos. But who am I kidding, it doesn't look good, V8...

But would totally buy it if they give me 20 years warranty and free maintenance :p

Once they abandoned the manual trans altogether, I was out. Nothing to do with looks, engine, tech, anything. Make a car that is boring to drive, it's not for me anymore.
Sure, I should add an * about how I'm too poor to afford either, but that isn't any fun.

Pretty much all my trucks and cars were manual. My C7 is manual and it's okay, would I miss it if it was automatic, a little bit. However if the H had a manual I wouldn't want it because the paddles are like a precise scalpel that lets you shift instanously.

The price tag of the Temerario up here rivals the price of Aventador. Add the 10% luxury tax on top of 13-15% sales tax, it's just nuts. Rough estimate with decent options the total comes out at 586K. I think very few will be ever seen on the road, very few people can or want to spend over half a mil on this.

I think I bought the H just at the right time, I would of had a better deal in 2019-2020 but I couldn't afford it back then.

I have little experience with the Huracan, and none with the Temerarino. Based on pics and info, I would take the Huracan. I think the Huracan is stunning, and the Temerario is not that great looking. Looks cheap, especially the nose. V10 roar is way more appealing than a V8 with turbo, tech and electrics to make it faster.

I used to wish that Lamborghini would put out a 3rd supercar below the V10. I thought it would be cool to have the V12 flagship, a V10, and a little sport car with a V8. Something like a Lotus Elise with a turbo V8. 3 cars. Don't ruin the V10 line.

They could have turbo chaged, and added hybrid tech, to the V10 and had something way faster than the V8. I wonder if they dumbed it down so it would not compete with the Revuelto?

A customer "accidentally" started the Temerario at the launch party. He tried to play dumb, LOL, but it was obvious. The car was dead quiet, and the medium-loud music completely drowned it out. Yea, yea, you could put a good exhaust on it later.

I don't get why people wanted newer and to be faster these days. All I want is original loud obnoxious big cylinders gas guzzling supercar which I think is the true DNA of Lamborghini. I does not need to break the mach speed.

I think this is a neat idea...but they would need to be careful not to build a Cayman though. Porsche did the same thing 'We need a car that isn't the 911' The boxter essentially saved the company, then they made a coupe, and called it the Cayman. Unfortunately the mid engine layout of a Cayman is far superior to the rear engine of a 911. So they constantly detune the Cayman to keep is slower than the flagship 911.
If Lambo created a sporty V8, it would be hard to keep it 'less' than the V10 (assuming they kept that too).

I don't think Lamborghini would do it. Doesn't make sense for the brand. An idea for a different era of Lamborghini.

Oh for sure. That ship has sailed, just speaking in an alternate timeline so to speak.

As a Jalpa owner, I was fantasizing about something more in that category. Kind of a modern Urraco. Like a Lamborghini built Lotus Elise, or Alfa Romeo C6. Never going to happen, but I think it is a cool idea. Cars are getting so big, I like the idea of something small and light. I don't think the Temerario is very small or light.

Lambo is probably in a tight spot since it's not easy anymore to be king of top speed like back in the day. Tesla, Corvette, Maclaren have caught up in speed and surpassing the brand. Now it seems like sports car manufacturers focus on horsepower and possibly the nurburgring lap time adding technologies that complicate their mechanical aspects.

Talking about small and light cars, these are the ones that really shine in Japan with its narrow streets. The Boxster and Cayman used to be everywhere, even giving local Japanese cars a run for their money, but now they have gotten bigger and way more expensive. These days you mostly see Suzukis and Daihatsus dominating, and lately the Mazda Roadster is popping up a lot too since it's small and very cheap. There is also Fiat that tried to penetrate the Japanese market with its small cars, but the car is just way too unreliable. "Cute" design but has very little torque and low reliability. IMO they should just make Temerario smaller, lighter, and cheaper by dumping its hybrid tech. That batteries and drivetrain are way too heavy.

Unfortunately the design doesn't feel italian like the Huracan, there's no emotion on the public roads.
Very hard to be recognized as Lamborghini outside, exhaust sound is terrible too,base price is high
I know this because I have the mini cars that I vroom vroom while living in my mom’s basement.
