2026 Lamborghini Temerario Review + BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Summary

In this video, the hosts discuss their experience with the Lamborghini Tamario, the brand's latest 'baby Lambo'. Despite its outrageous speed and impressive agility, the car's performance feels overpowered and the steering lacks feedback. The hosts reflect on the loss of the iconic V10 engine and the shift towards more electric power in Lambos, leading to a more refined yet soulless driving experience. They contrast it with the more affordable Corvette and discuss the evolving identity of Lamborghini in the modern supercar landscape. In the end, the Tamario scores well for performance but misses the mark on overall driving enjoyment and sound.

Takeaways

• 😀 The hosts are excited about their new venture, co-hosting the Grand Tour, while balancing it with Throttle House.
• 😀 Lamborghini's move to replace the beloved V10 engine with a hybrid V8 in the new Lamborghini Tamario is a controversial decision.
• 😀 The Tamario offers immense performance, being outrageously fast and capable of impressive acceleration, but it comes at the cost of the V10's soul and sound.
• 😀 Despite the lack of the naturally aspirated V10, the Tamario pushes performance to a new extreme, but it also introduces some discomfort, including the car's unapproachably fast nature.
• 😀 The car's steering lacks feedback, which diminishes the overall driving experience for some, despite its high-performance handling in corners.
• 😀 Lamborghini’s engineering choices, including three electric motors and two turbochargers, add power but result in a more 'clinical' driving experience compared to older models.
• 😀 The Tamario is a car for extreme performance enthusiasts, but it's too fast for everyday roads, pushing the limits of what is practical on public roads.
• 😀 Despite its flaws, the Tamario has a premium, showy appeal that makes it a status symbol, with owners feeling special just by owning one, even if they aren't driving it for its true driving experience.
• 😀 The lack of the iconic Lamborghini engine sound is a significant disappointment, with Lamborghini not offering enough justification for the change in their press release.
• 😀 Despite the criticisms, the car’s styling is generally well-received, with a sleek, aggressive look that suits its performance-focused identity, though there are minor design quibbles, like the front-end hexagonal daytime running lights.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the video?

The video primarily focuses on the review and analysis of Lamborghini's new car, the Lamborghini Tamario, comparing it to previous Lamborghini models and discussingScript Q&A Generation its performance, design, and features.

What was the initial impression of the Tamario in terms of performance?

The Tamario is described as having extreme performance, with violent acceleration and a wild driving experience. It's incredibly fast but also a bit scary and difficult to handle due to its overwhelming power.

Why does the Tamario lose the V10 engine, and how does this impact its performance?

The Tamario replaces the iconic V10 engine with a V8 engine paired with electric motors. While it results in increased performance (faster acceleration and higher RPM), it also loses the soul and character that the V10 engine provided, which the reviewers clearly miss.

What is the reviewers' opinion about the sound of the new engine in the Tamario?

The reviewers feel disappointed by the sound of the new engine. Although Lamborghini claims the engine has a clear, clean sound, the actual experience is underwhelming. They argue that the natural howl of the previous V10 is missed, and the new engine lacks the emotional appeal.

Despite its heavy weight, the Tamario is said to handle corners exceptionally well, with razor-sharp agility. However, the steering is too light, and there's a lack of feedback, which detracts from the overall driving experience.

What do the reviewers think about the cabin and interior of the Tamario?

The interior is considered improved, with sport seats that are comfortable. It also features a $6,500 sound system, which is highly praised. While not perfect, the cabin is said to meet expectations for a supercar of this caliber.

What is the problem with the price of the Tamario according to the reviewers?

The reviewers feel that the Tamario is overpriced, considering its performance. They suggest that it should be priced about $100,000 less, with less power and a naturally aspirated engine to make it a more fitting 'baby Lamborghini.'

How does the Tamario compare to the Huracan, and what changes have been made to its performance?

The Tamario is significantly more powerful than the Huracan, with more performance but less accessibility due to its excessive speed. The reviewers note that while the Tamario is now more livable than previous Lamborghini models, it is also less engaging compared to the Huracan.

Why does the Tamario fail to meet the expectations of being a 'baby Lamborghini'?

The Tamario's extreme performance makes it more of a supercar than a 'baby Lamborghini.' It surpasses the traditional 'baby Lambo' concept, which was expected to have a more balanced performance for everyday driving, but the Tamario is too fast and aggressive for that purpose.

What does the review say about Lamborghini's shift towards performance at the cost of character?

The reviewers suggest that Lamborghini's focus on increasing performance has come at the cost of the car's character and soul. While the Tamario is incredibly fast, it lacks the engaging driving experience that past Lamborghinis, especially those with V10 engines, provided.
