The CarBuzz spy photographers have just captured something fast, Italian, and ready to go roof-down at the Nürburgring in Germany. It's the latest convertible from Lamborghini, the drop-top version of the Temerario, which will almost certainly be called the Temerario Spyder Heavy Camo Can't Hide This New Roof CarBuzz/ValnetIronically, the camouflage wrap might be doing Lamborghini more harm than good here. We already know what the Temerario looks like. We can glean more from the future Spyder by catching this camo'd car with the roof up than just seeing one free and clear. For example, we can see some details about the shape of the replacement for the Huracan Spyder, including that the roof has its seams just ahead of the engine cover.That isn't really a surprise if you look at how the last car put its roof down, but there's one thing that is absolutely new: This is a hardtop roof, and it looks like it is power-operated.CarBuzz/Valnet Unless Lamborghini has found a way to make the vinyl camo wrap stick to a soft-top in a way that looks like solid panels, this will be the first hardtop in Lamborghini's entry-level line. Both the Huracan and Gallardo and even the top-end Murcielago had soft tops. The Aventador's roof was a solid panel, but owners had to lift and store the panel by hand.We're making some guesses and speculation on the top mechanism based on the camouflage, so our conclusions could be premature. But we are confident. We expect to get the full answer later this year, and the car could make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Monterey Car Week, or another exclusive automotive event.Since this is just a Temerario with the option of more headroom, we already know what most of the spec sheet will look like. The Temerario launched in 2025 as the first Lamborghini with a mid-mounted V8 since the Jalpa in the 1980s. It was also just the second Lambo to get a twin-turbo V8, after the Urus.Instead of sharing a design with another vehicle in the Volkswagen Group, Lamborghini built its own one for the Temerario. The flat-plane 4.0-liter V8 can rev to 10,250 rpm, the first Lamborghini to do that. Same 907 Horses, But More Fresh Air CarBuzz/Valnet The engine makes 789 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque all by itself, but this bull is also a PHEV. It has a 3.8-kWh battery and three electric motors. There are two mounted on the front axle and there's one at the back, and while sadly the power doesn't just stack, the car does make 907 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque with everything working together.It might be the baby bull, but it will not be slow by any stretch of the imagination. This car will be able to put that power to use while it lets you hear more of the wail of the engine as you get to that stratospheric redline. At least until the wind noise gets to be too much and your hair is at risk of blowing away.The extra complexity will likely add a few pounds to the 3,726 pound curb weight of the coupe. Expect Lamborghini to offer various expensive ways to trim it back down, especially in the way of future special editions. It should still remain well under 4,000 pounds, though, which is light by modern hypercar standards.It will probably be more expensive, too. The basic coupe starts from $382,654, and so this one isn't likely to stay under $400,000. Not that it matters to buyers, and not that anyone will pay base price with an options list like Lamborghini's.Lamborghini Temerario Spyder Prototype spy photo (15)
