The Temerario Tricolore is a commission, not a limited edition

What the Tricolore actually is

Mechanically it is a Temerario, and Lamborghini does not claim otherwise. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 turns to 10,000 rpm, three electric motors bring the system total to 920 CV, 0 to 100 km/h takes 2.7 seconds and top speed is quoted above 340 km/h. Lamborghini classifies it as a High Performance Electrified Vehicle.

What is specific to this car is the finish. Blu Marinus Shiny on the lower body, Bianco Monocerus on the upper surfaces, glossy Nero Noctis on the mirrors, wheels and engine cover, red brake calipers, and the flag graphic on the bonnet. Inside, Nero Ade upholstery with Rosso Alala contrast stitching and a hexagonal motif.

Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and chief executive, called it "a celebration of the values that define Lamborghini: visionary design, technological innovation, uncompromising performance and excellence of Italian craftsmanship."

Why the missing number matters

A limited edition and a bespoke commission look identical in photographs and behave very differently on the market. The Sián was 63 cars and said so. The Countach LPI 800-4 was 112 and said so. The Tricolore release names no figure at all.

The likeliest reading is that this is an Ad Personam configuration built to show what the programme can do, shown at the event where the customers who commission such cars actually are. That is a legitimate thing for a manufacturer to do, and it is not the same as a numbered series.

The practical consequence is for the buyer who sees this car resold in three years with the word Tricolore in the advertisement. The right question is not what the paint cost, it is how many others carry the same name. Until Lamborghini answers that, the honest assumption is that the answer could be one, or could be any number at all.

The last Tricolore was a Gallardo

Lamborghini dates the name to the Gallardo LP 550-2 Tricolore of 2011, and the fifteen years between the two are the useful part of the comparison, because the Gallardo is now an ordinary used car with a price anyone can look up.

LUSSO lists eight Gallardo for sale on 28 August 2026, from 118,400 to 409,490 euros. Fifteen years after the first Tricolore, the model that carried the name trades across a spread of nearly three hundred thousand euros, and what sets a car at the top of that range is condition, specification and history rather than the name of a paint scheme.

What a Temerario costs today

LUSSO lists 20 Temerario for sale on 28 August 2026, every one of them with a published price, from 299,865 to 479,900 euros with a median of 336,050 euros.

Two figures in that stock say more than the range. Fifteen of the twenty are 2026 cars, and the odometers start at 41 kilometres and run to a hundred. This is not a used-car market: it is a delivery-mileage market, cars sold on and never really driven, which is what happens in the first months of a model that people ordered before they had seen one.

Fourteen of the twenty are in Germany, with the rest spread between the United Kingdom, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and the United Arab Emirates. A concentration like that is worth knowing before treating the cheapest listing as the market price: the cars are not competing in the same place, and the cost of moving one across a border is real.

The Temerario against the Huracán it replaces

The Temerario took over from the Huracán, and both are on the market at the same time, which does not happen often and is the clearest way to read what the new car is worth.

LUSSO lists 59 Huracán for sale on the same day, from 188,430 to 526,436 euros with a median of 279,900. The Temerario's median sits 56,000 euros above it, on a stock three times smaller.

But the top of the Huracán range beats the top of the Temerario range, 526,436 against 479,900. The old model's specials, the cars built at the end of its life, still command more than anything the new model offers yet. That gap is where a Tricolore, if it were numbered, would sit.

What to check on a delivery-mileage car

Twenty Temerario with odometers between 41 and about a hundred kilometres is a particular kind of stock, and it carries its own questions. A car with 41 kilometres has been driven off a transporter and onto a stand; it has not been run in, and nobody has found out yet what it does at temperature.

Three things decide the real cost, and none of them is the headline price. Whether the car has been registered, because a first registration ends the manufacturer's delivery status and starts the warranty clock. What the VAT position is, because a car sold between traders and a car sold to a private buyer are not the same transaction. And who the first owner was, because a factory demonstrator and a customer car that was resold before delivery have different histories on paper.

On a car whose selling point is its configuration, one more check applies: get the original order sheet. It is the document that says which options are factory and which were added afterwards, and on an Ad Personam car that distinction is most of the difference in value.

How much does the Temerario Tricolore cost?

Lamborghini has not published a price for the Tricolore, and for a bespoke commission it is not obliged to: the cost is whatever the client and Ad Personam agreed, and that stays between them.

The base is knowable, and it is the 299,865 to 479,900 euro range above. The 180,000 euro gap between the two ends of that range on a car barely a year old is itself mostly specification, which is another way of saying that Ad Personam work is already the difference between the cheapest Temerario on the market and the dearest one.

Which brings the article back to where it started. The paint on this car is remarkable and the photographs are the best Lamborghini has released this month. But the sentence that will decide what it is worth in five years has not been written yet, and it is the one giving the number.
