Unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, during Monterey Car Week, Lamborghini has created a one-off Temerario called the Tricolore, and as its name suggests, its design incorporates the green, white, and red colos of the Italian flag, but unlike the last Tricolore special edition, the Gallardo Tricolore LP550-2 15 years ago, the Temerario Tricolore is bolder, adding loads of deep blue to the bodywork. Blue is Italy’s national sporting color and was selected by the House of Savoy, the royal dynasty that unified Italy in 1862; as far back as 1366, their dynastic shade was blue (officially Savoy Azure), and the color was retained after the nation became a republic.
Temerario Tricolore Focuses On Style Over Sliding
While the last Tricolore from Lamborghini, built to celebrate 150 years of Italian unification, was based on a rear-wheel-drive, six-speed manual or E-Gear Gallardo with slightly less power than the regular LP 560-4, the Temerario Tricolore is mechanically identical to any other Temerario, with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 and a trio of electric motors combining to send a combined 907 horsepower to all four wheels. But maybe Lamborghini is saving a rear-drive non-hybrid setup for later in the Temerario’s lifecycle. The dual-color body features a deep blue finish called Blu Marinus Shiny and a crisp white called Bianco Monocerus, while Glossy Nero Noctis (black) appears on the wing mirrors, wheels, engine cover, glasshouse, and diffuser. The subtly accented Gallardo Tricolore certainly looked clean from any angle, but this Temerario Tricolore is well-suited to the two-tone treatment, with the darker under section helping make the car look even lower and sharper than normal.
Since Lamborghini’s Ad Personam service would be bored by only personalizing the exterior, they’ve gone to work in the cabin too, where Nero Ade upholstery is contrasted by Rosso Alala (red) stitching, tying in with the Rosso brake calipers. Elsewhere, a silhouette of the supercar appears in the rear cabin trim, and Tricolore lettering has been embroidered into the door panels

Following the two Temerarios revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year, the Temerario Tricolore is yet another way for Lamborghini to highlight its expertise in bespoke personalization, and with the vast majority of new ultra-luxury vehicles featuring at least one customized option, Ad Personam wants to ensure that every potential buyer knows there is almost limitless scope for creativity. Of course, customizing a car that already starts around $400,000 before any boxes are ticked isn’t cheap, but given how many six-figure options are out there these days, standing out requires a big budget.
