This is the heart of Lamborghini’s Huracan successor: an electrified V8 powertrain which could produce almost 700kW, or enough to make you forget about its sonorous V10s of the past. Lamborghini today confirmed specifications for the powertrain of the as-yet unnamed Huracan replacement, putting previous rumours to bed. The new supercar, codenamed LP634 and expected to be named Temerario, is powered by a bespoke 4.

Despite losing two cylinders and now having a pair of turbochargers muffling the exhaust, Lamborghini claims the characteristic engine notes its supercars have become known for haven’t been lost. “Another crucial element of the design process was to define t.
