Lamborghini Temerario Vs. Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2)

Key differences between the Lamborghini Temerario and Porsche 911 (992.2) Turbo S

Both Porsche’s 992.2 Turbo S and the Lamborghini Temerario feature many firsts. On one hand, we are about to get the first Porsche 911 Turbo S to be equipped with a hybrid powertrain. We are talking about the new 9A3 T-Hybrid setup, first seen in the Porsche 992.2 GTS. Looking at the 992.1 4 GTS and 992.2 4 GTS, we see that the hybrid setup adds just 110 pounds to the car’s weight. This means that even the heaviest Porsche 911 weighs much less than its main rivals. The upcoming 992.2 Turbo S is expected to ditch the current, 3.75-liter, twin-turbo flat-six for a more powerful variant of the new 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six as seen in the hybrid 911 GTS.

Coming to the Lambo, Temerario means "reckless” in Italian, and you can see how it is appropriate for Lamborghini’s all-new Huracan successor. Like the bigger Revuelto, the Lamborghini Temerario is also a plug-in hybrid. However, Lamborghini doesn’t quote an electric range. Given the small, 3.8 kWh battery pack, it will not go far without relying on liquid dinosaurs. To call the Temerario a P-HEV is wrong. Lamborghini refers to the Temerario as an HPEV – a high-performance electric vehicle. Another key feature of the Lamborghini Temerario is the engine. This is the first Lamborghini to feature a turbocharged engine and a flat-plane V-8.

Performance: 2025 Lamborghini Temerario Vs. 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S

The Lamborghini Temerario and Porsche 911 (992.2) Turbo S should differ in how they extract performance from their hybrid setups. They are also, seemingly, in different leagues when it comes to performance. Or are they? Official figures for the upcoming 992.2 Turbo S are not out yet, but something interesting might happen. It appears that the upcoming 911 Turbo S could utilize a more powerful variant of the T-Hybrid setup, revolving around the new 9A3 engine. Whether the Turbo S keeps the same 3.6-liter displacement seen in the 992.2 GTS or Porsche will offer a larger variant of it remains to be seen. It may turn out that the Turbo S’ combustion engine makes less power than the 992.1 Turbo S, but would make up for it with electric power.

The Lamborghini Temerario gets very close to the bigger Revuelto in terms of total system output. The Temerario packs a similar setup, relying on three electric motors – 150 horsepower each – which is the same electric output we get from the Revuelto. Even the 3.8 kWh battery is the same. What sets them apart are the engines. But will that extra power be enough to beat the Porsche in real life? As we have seen, numbers and real-life performance are, often, two very different things, and Porsche’s 911 is known to punch above its weight. Moreover, the hybrid 992.2 Carrera 4 GTS turned out quicker around the Nordschleife than the 992.1 Turbo S. With everything we know so far, here’s how the Temerario and 992.2 Turbo S compare on paper.
