Lamborghini gives the Temerario a bigger bark

The ‘baby’ Lamborghini recently moved from V10 to twin-turbo V8 hybrid power, with the Huracan’s Temerario successor making more power and torque from a smaller engine.

Though the V8 is more technically advanced than its V10 predecessor, the change in exhaust noise coupled with the muting effect of the twin turbochargers has left many wanting more.

Enter exhaust specialists Akrapovič, which has developed in partnership with Lamborghini a new titanium system for the Temerario, complete with black accents to blend into the bumper.

The new exhaust system has a revised geometry compared to the standard unit, with larger pipework and a reduced silencer not only helping to keep hot exhaust gasses flowing out, but also to produce a better sound.

“This produces a sound profile that progresses from deep notes at low revs to an incisive acoustic signature approaching 10,000 rpm, offering intuitive sound feedback for optimal gear changes” Lamborghini says.

According to Lamborghini, the new Akrapovič exhaust system weighs in at 11.4kg, a slight saving compared to the 12.6kg stock design.

Available through the brand’s Accessori Originali range, it bolts up to the Temerario’s twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine, which itself is supplemented by three electric motors, with the combined powertrain producing up to 686kW and capable of revving to 10,000rpm.

There’s no word yet on whether a similar system will be available for the new Audi Nuvolari, which is based on the Temerario.
