Lamborghini has launched a new titanium exhaust system for its V8-powered Temerario supercar. Developed with Akrapovic, the upgraded system aims to deliver a stronger sound and reduce weight compared to the standard exhaust.
An Improved Sound for the Plug-In Hybrid V8
The Temerario’s 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 has faced criticism from some for lacking the emotional sound of Lamborghini’s natural V10 engines. To address this, Lamborghini partnered with Akrapovic to create an exhaust that offers a more distinctive and engaging note as the engine revs rise.
The new system features larger-diameter tubing, new manifolds, and a redesigned silencer. These changes improve exhaust flow and alter the sound character, giving the Temerario a more assertive voice than the stock setup.
Weight Savings and Attention to Detail
Made from titanium, the Akrapovic exhaust weighs about 11.4 kilograms (25 pounds), which is roughly 12% lighter than Lamborghini’s original exhaust for the Temerario. This contributes to reducing overall weight, benefiting performance and handling.
Extensive thermal insulation protects the hottest parts of the system, while the design also focuses on minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness. The exhaust ends with black-finished tailpipes that blend well with the Temerario’s aggressive rear design.
Availability and Pricing
The titanium exhaust will be offered as an option for new Temerario orders and can also be retrofitted to existing cars via the Accessori Originali catalog. Lamborghini has not revealed pricing or regional availability yet, but an Akrapovic upgrade typically carries a premium cost.
Background and Partnerships
Lamborghini and Akrapovic have collaborated before on projects like the Urus SUV and the predecessor to the Temerario. This new exhaust continues their partnership, providing an aftermarket-caliber upgrade that meets Lamborghini’s quality standards.
The Temerario replaced the Huracan in Lamborghini’s lineup. The Huracan, with its naturally aspirated V10, was produced until 2024 with over 24,000 units built since its 2014 debut. Current Temerario orders are reportedly booked up to 2028, demonstrating strong demand despite the V8’s different engine note.
