Tricolore badge returns

Lamborghini has brought back its Tricolore badge for the first time in 15 years, applying the Italian-themed treatment to the Temerario.

The new car follows the Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore of 2011. As before, the idea is to celebrate the brand’s home country through colour and detailing, rather than leave the Italian connection as a subtle footnote.

That gives the Temerario Tricolore a clear point of difference within Lamborghini’s current range, even before its contrasting paintwork comes into view.

Italian colours, carefully placed

The exterior pairs Blu Marinus Shiny with Bianco Monocerus in a two-tone finish, while Nero Noctis is used for contrasting details. An Italian flag motif runs along the bonnet, making the Tricolore theme immediately visible from the front.

Lamborghini carries the same approach into the cabin. Nero Ade forms the base colour, joined by Rosso Alala stitching and Tricolore embroidery on the doors. The combination keeps the national colours prominent without replacing the Temerario’s dark, driver-focused interior treatment.

Pricing, production volume and any New Zealand allocation have not been disclosed. That leaves open whether the Tricolore will be offered more widely or remain an especially scarce addition to the Temerario line-up.

Hybrid performance stays central

Beneath the Italian-themed finish sits Lamborghini’s electrified powertrain: a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 supported by three electric motors. Total output is 920CV, equivalent to approximately 677kW.

Lamborghini claims the Temerario can accelerate from 0–100km/h in 2.7 seconds and exceed 340km/h. Those figures ensure the Tricolore is more than a rolling exercise in national colours, even if its biggest distinction is visual.

For buyers drawn to the detail as much as the performance, the return of the badge gives the Temerario a fresh historical link — and a particularly vivid one at that.
