YOU CAN’T HIDE WHO YOU ARE
Automobili Lamborghini presents Temerario: the all-new super sports car that redefines the very concept
of performance, driving pleasure and comfort. The hybrid powertrain combines a new twin-turbo V8
engine with three electric motors, providing a total power output of 920 PS. The redesigned V8 is the first
production engine able to reach 10,000 rpm. The performance is an absolute revelation: maximum speed
of over 340 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds. The Temerario features new design style concepts,
while offering unprecedented customisation options and connectivity content never seen before.
Sold with a 3 year/100,000 km Driveplan at no additional cost.

Imported into South Africa by a Cape

like few other cars. After all, there are
just three examples in the country and
most of them are usually tucked away in
private collections.

01 Interestingly, during its development
phase, Veyron prototypes were sent to
Volkswagen’s massive, relatively secretive,
test facility out in the Northern Cape.
Before the late afternoon light faded,
perfectly capturing the Veyron’s lines on

Approaching the car, I marvelled at just
how smooth the overall design is. With

a few times before the engine catches with
a deep rumble. I pushed the gear lever to
the right to select drive and moved off.
Within a few metres, I realised how
planted the car feels and just how stiff the
suspension is. Of course, this is to be
expected. It is a 1 900 kg (official figure is
1 888 kg) vehicle that must be able to
handle a plethora of forces on the way to
its 400 km/h-plus top end. You have to
remember that, back in the mid-2000s,
1 888 kg was rather heavy for a sportscar.
How times have changed. Today, a BMW
M3 tips the scales at 1 840 kg. In that sense,
as in several other ways, history has been
kind to the Veyron.
You sit pretty much on the floorpan of
the car, close to the road. Still, I enjoyed
a perfect view over the first part of the
black bonnet, framed by the blue fenders.

certainly is not.
As the Veyron had already been driven
before the shoot, all the fluids were already
warm and it was time to get a taste of the
car’s performance. I decided to push the
gear lever again to activate ‘Sport’ mode
and, at the same time, use the paddles on
the steering wheel to change gears myself,
giving me more control over the engine
and affording me a greater sense of what
it has to offer.
The steering is light but precise, and as
I dived through a few corners, this setup
allowed me to focus on other aspects of
the car. I thought all of that weight would
