Lamborghini Temerario leapfrogs Huracán with a 907-hp hybrid V8

Lamborghini’s all-new Temerario replaces the Huracán with a 4.0L twin‑turbo V8 paired to an axial‑flux electric motor and two front motors for a combined 907 hp and 538 lb-ft, plus a 3.8 kWh battery that delivers about 6 miles of all‑electric range. The car sits on a new aluminum spaceframe about 20% stiffer than the Huracán’s, weighs roughly 3,726 lb dry, and prioritizes a cockpit with real buttons and a driver‑focused layout. Four main drive modes (Citta, Strada, Sport, Corsa) and an Alleggerita aero package raise downforce and track readiness, with the package adding faster aero, carbon components, and track tires at about a $45k premium on top of a base price around $389k (as-tested near $487k). The Temerario smooths highway cruising, thrills on canyon runs, and marks a bold evolution for Lamborghini’s flagship lineup.

"Unveiling the Design Brilliance of the Red Bull RB19: A Technological Marvel in Formula 1®"

Red Bull's RB19 Formula 1 car features a series of seven small vanes on the underside of the floor edge, just behind the winglet and vortex generators. These vanes help channel airflow at maximum velocity through the gap between the rear tire and diffuser wall, increasing downforce. The vanes create mini vortices to keep the airflow sucked inboard along the length of the narrowing floor edge. While not a game changer, this refinement contributes to Red Bull's ability to control the car's aerodynamics.
