YASA and Lamborghini Unveil High-Performance E-Propulsion Technology
ario's permanent-magnet axial flux electric motors will be built at
YASA's production facility near Oxford.
" We are excited to announce the continuation of our pioneering
partnership with Automobili Lamborghini, the iconic Italian luxury
sports car manufacturer, " said Graeme Cook, CEO of YASA.
The latest milestone in our strategic technical partnership is the
creation of high-tech axial flux electric motors, designed and
developed at our R&D facility near Oxford, UK, which debut in the
all-new Lamborghini Temerario. "
Automobili Lamborghini becomes first luxury automotive company to
hybridize full product range, using newly developed permanent-magnet
axial flux motors from YASA designed for high torque.
Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the Temerario, the legendary
Italian marque's new twin-turbo V8 hybrid super sports car.
Core to the performance are permanent-magnet axial flux motors
built with short copper windings optimized to deliver high torque
that is as much four times that of other EV motors.
Succeeding the Huracán, the Temerario sets a new benchmark
for the super sports car segment with a total power output of 920
CV, reaching a top speed of more than 210 mph (over 340 km/h)
and accelerating from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds. The
Temerario is the second Lamborghini high-performance electrified
vehicle and third step in the electrification strategy for the company,
completing the hybridization of the entire Lamborghini lineup
following the Revuelto and the Urus SE.
The Temerario replaces the Lamborghini Huracán, which debuted
in 2014 and has been the greatest-selling super sports car in the
history of the Sant'Agata Bolognese-based carmaker. As stated
by Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO, " Every new Lamborghini
must surpass its forerunners in performance terms. " With
the Temerario, the new hybrid plug-in reaches a new paradigm in
terms of performance, sportiness and driving pleasure. The Temerario
is the first and only production super sports car engine able
to reach 10,000 rpm: a feat typically only achieved in motorsports.

Axial flux motors from
YASA at the heart of the
high performance
In November 2024, YASA
and Lamborghini announced
their renewed
electric drive partnership,
which began with the
development of an optimized
high-performance
e-propulsion system for
the Revuelto V12 hybrid
hypercar. Building on this
foundation, the Temerario
represents a leap forward, showcasing the latest technical, design
and performance capabilities that YASA's axial flux technology
can deliver.
The electric motors have been meticulously designed and honed
for Lamborghini's state-of-the-art hybrid V8 supercar. The Temer12

" Our evolving partnership with Lamborghini is a testament to our
shared vision for the future of high-performance electric propulsion.
The Temerario advances the path that the Revuelto established
earlier this year, further exemplifying the pinnacle of our
collaborative efforts and showcasing YASA's innovative technology, "
he continued.
Davide Bizzarri, head of vehicle motion at Lamborghini, added:
" At Lamborghini, our pursuit of perfection drives us to integrate the
latest advancements in electric propulsion. Partnering with YASA
allows us to push the technical and engineering boundaries of
what's possible, delivering unparalleled performance and driving
experiences for our customers. "
Temerario - a modern-day hybrid supercar
The Temerario is already being championed by many across the
global automotive industry as a next-generation hybrid supercar
tour-de-force, combining exceptional high-performance with a
seamless high-tech e-propulsion system. By fostering a close
partnership underpinned by trust and mutual respect, YASA and
Lamborghini engineering teams were able to design, develop,
hone and optimize the e-propulsion system and its high-revving
V8 internal combustion engine.
V8 with fully integrated hybrid motor
Positioned on its front e-axle, the Temerario incorporates two
YASA axial flux motors, delivering peak torque of 300Nm and
peak power of 110kW. Such power delivery outputs are even
more impressive when considering the overall footprint of the front
electric motors: each one weighs a mere 17.3kg, with a diameter
of 295mm and thickness of only 70mm. The motors' maximum
speed is 10,000rpm.
