How Lamborghini’s V8 Hybrid System Differs From Porsche’s T-Hybrid
Lamborghini's Temerario may be the flashy performance hybrid, but here's why Porsche's electrified 911 is an understated and equally impressive contender
Lamborghini and Porsche have their own unique take on the performance hybrid formula
With the Temerario, Lamborghini enters a new era of hybridization
This is thanks to a newly developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and three e-motors
This V8 has a flat-plane crankshaft and is developed in-house by Lamborghini
Among the three e-motors, two of them are placed on the front axle and a third is mounted at the rear
A 3.8 kWh battery pack powers the motors, and can allow EV-only driving for about 6 miles
The Temerario, being a PHEV, can be plug-in externally to charge the battery pack
Porsche's new hybrid system, called the T-Hybrid, is considered mild hybrid.
At the center of this hybrid system is a single turbo flat-six. The 2025 911 Carrera GTS comes with a 3.6-liter flat-six
There's another e-motor in the 8-speed PDK, adding 54 hp to the mix. Total, the power output churned out by the system is 532 hp
Unlike the Temerario, the 911 Carrera GTS can't run on all-electric propulsion. The e-motor is powered by a dinky 1.9kWh battery pack
