Lamborghini Brings Back the Tricolore TreatmentLamborghiniApparently, the Lamborghini Temerario wasn't Italian enough already. On Monday, Lamborghini formally unveiled the Temerario Tricolore, a one-off creation celebrating the Italian flag and the company's home country. The car also marks the return of the "Tricolore" name 15 years after it appeared on the Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore in 2011.Unlike the Gallardo, however, this isn't a special production model. The Temerario Tricolore is a one-off created by Lamborghini's Ad Personam personalization department to demonstrate just how far customers can take the company's customization program."Fifteen years after the Gallardo Tricolore, this new interpretation by our Centro Stile brings Italian national colours into the new era of the super sports car," Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said in a release. "At the same time, it demonstrates how Ad Personam enables each customer to create a truly unique Lamborghini, transforming their personal vision into a bespoke expression of individuality."LamborghiniThe exterior is finished in a bold two-tone livery: Bianco Monocerus covers the upper half of the car, while Blu Marinus Shiny covers the lower sections. Glossy Nero Noctis covers the mirrors, wheels, engine cover and other bits to create a contrast between the main colors. Most importantly, a stripe featuring the green, white, and red colors of the Italian flag runs across the car, leaving little doubt about the inspiration.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe patriotic theme continues inside. The cabin combines Nero Ade black upholstery with Rosso Alala stitching, while the Tricolore lettering appears prominently on the door panels. (Not surprisingly, Lamborghini did not reveal pricing for these bespoke changes, so talk to your dealer if you're interested in going Ad Personam.)LamborghiniUnderneath all the Italian-themed decoration is the same formidable powertrain found in the standard Temerario. Lamborghini's hybrid supercar combines a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 with three electric motors. The system produces 907 horsepower, and the V-8 itself can spin all the way to 10,000 rpm.LamborghiniThe Tricolore name last appeared during a very different era for Lamborghini, however. The Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore of 2011 used a naturally aspirated V-10 that sent its power to the rear wheels, and—perhaps most importantly for enthusiasts—was available with a 6-speed manual transmission. 15 years later, the Temerario represents Lamborghini's new reality: turbocharging, electrification, all-wheel drive, and a dual-clutch transmission.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
