On the Lamborghini stage set up for The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, during Monterey Car Week, the same afternoon carried two very different debuts. One was the world premiere of the Revuelto SV, a car built to chase numbers. Next to this sat a single bespoke configuration built for something else entirely, and it carried a name Lamborghini had not used in fifteen years: Temerario Tricolore.
That name first appeared on the Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore, presented in 2011 to mark the 150th anniversary of Italian unification, distinguished at that time by a dedicated stripe running through the colours of the Italian flag and positioned by the company as a reinforcement of Lamborghini's role as a global ambassador for Made in Italy excellence. Fifteen years passed before the name returned, and when it did, it returned on the Temerario, the marque's latest High Performance Electrified Vehicle, the designation Lamborghini itself applies to the car under the HPEV shorthand.
"Temerario Tricolore is a celebration of the values that define Lamborghini: visionary design, technological innovation, uncompromising performance and the excellence of Italian craftsmanship," said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. Fifteen years after the Gallardo Tricolore, he said, this new interpretation by the company's Centro Stile brings Italian national colours into the new era of the super sports car, and at the same time shows how the Ad Personam programme lets each customer build a truly unique Lamborghini, turning a personal vision into a bespoke expression of individuality.
The configuration was designed by Lamborghini Centro Stile and finalised in collaboration with Ad Personam, the personalisation division marking its twentieth anniversary this year, and it follows two bespoke Temerario Ad Personam configurations already shown at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Rather than treating personalisation as a matter of picking from a colour and material list, Lamborghini presents the Tricolore as proof that customisation can sit inside the creative process itself, worked out alongside the car's own design rather than layered onto it afterward.
Likewise the exterior tells the story in two colours rather than one. Blu Marinus Shiny, a deep blue that lightens under direct light, covers the lower section of the body, while Bianco Monocerus takes the upper surfaces, running across the upper doors and fenders, and together the two colours trace the rising line that lifts from the front wheel arches, across the doors, into the powerful rear shoulders. Glossy Nero Noctis appears on the exterior mirrors, the wheels, the engine cover and the rear and upper sections, drawing a precise edge between the two main colours, while red brake callipers add a further sporting note and a dedicated graphic in green, white and red sits on the bonnet, a direct reference to the Italian flag.
Further to that, the two-tone treatment underlines the design language Centro Stile has built into the Temerario as a whole, from the sharp front surfaces and hexagonal daytime running lights to the exposed engine and the aerodynamic elements worked into the body itself.
Inside, the same idea continues. Nero Ade upholstery is finished with Rosso Alala contrast stitching, and the hexagonal motif returns once again, tying the cabin back to the exterior and to Lamborghini's established visual identity. A bespoke silhouette of the car has been worked into the rear cabin trim, Tricolore lettering is embroidered onto the door panels, and every material, graphic element and colour has been chosen as part of a single composition, an approach the Ad Personam programme carries into the cabin without touching the sporting character of the Temerario underneath it.
Under the two-tone skin, the mechanical layout stays the standard Temerario's own. A newly developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 power aggregate works alongside three electric motors for a combined output of no less than 920 CV, and the combustion engine on its own is capable of spinning to 10,000 rpm, a figure Lamborghini describes as a new benchmark in the production super sports car segment. Zero to 100 km/h takes 2.7 seconds. Top speed is put at more than 340 km/h.
Back on the stage at The Quail, next to a Revuelto SV built to chase numbers, the Temerario Tricolore closed a gap of fifteen years between two Lamborghinis carrying Italy's green, white and red, its colour, material and cabin detail treated as one project rather than as a coat applied afterward, carried through by the same Ad Personam process now twenty years into turning craftsmanship into a much personal Lamborghini for each customer who commissions one.
