RDB LA has assembled a yellow Lamborghini Temerario with a 1016 Industries widebody kit and custom silver AL13 wheels. Photos credited to the Instagram account kfletchphotography put the car in front of enthusiasts on Nov. 9. Nothing reported about the build touches the hybrid drivetrain underneath the new bodywork.

Lamborghini rates the Temerario at 920 PS, which converts to 907 horsepower, from a twin-turbo V8 working with three electric motors. Reports on this particular build describe that powertrain as untouched, so the car looks wild while the numbers on the spec sheet stay exactly where the factory set them.
1016 Industries bodywork and AL13 wheels
Autoblog’s Roy Robles described a bladed front splitter, a vented hood and wider front wheel arches, along with a functional-looking roof scoop that feeds air toward the rear. A large rear wing and an updated diffuser add downforce, and black aerodynamic details contrast with the bright yellow paint. Robles wrote that the build is focused strictly on smooth pavement performance, and that the factory ground clearance remains unchanged despite the larger wheels.
Autoevolution, which first covered the car, gave a slightly more cautious read of the photos. Its writer noted that the front bumper appears to be stock with add-ons, the rear arches look unchanged, and the new silver wheels are larger and slightly wider than the originals. Inside, the car carries black and yellow upholstery that appears to mix leather and Alcantara, with the Raging Bull embroidered on the headrests.
Aftermarket kits for supercars are often judged by how much they change the stance, and this one changes it mainly at the front. Wider front arches and a deeper splitter widen the visual footprint of the nose, while the rear arches stay as Lamborghini drew them. The result is a car that looks track-prepared yet keeps the road-car ride height, a combination that suits a build meant for photographs and street use rather than lap times.
A twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors left alone
The Temerario pairs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors, and Lamborghini’s model page lists the combined output as 677 kW, or 920 CV, with a 0 to 100 km/h time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 343 km/h. The V8 alone makes about 788 horsepower, according to The Drive’s account of the car’s launch, and it revs to 10,000 rpm. Two of the motors sit at the front axle, while a third sits between the engine and the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Autoblog quotes the build’s powertrain as 902 horsepower, 2.7 seconds to 62 mph and a 213 mph top speed. Lamborghini’s own conversion of 920 CV is 907 horsepower, and that is the figure used here.
The battery is small. Carscoops’ 2024 launch report put the pack at 3.8 kWh and estimated only a couple of miles of electric driving before the V8 joins in, so the plug-in label describes a performance system more than a commuting one. Autoevolution adds one caveat: the social media post behind the build does not mention the powertrain at all, which leaves the stock status resting on the absence of reported changes.
The electric hardware is more specific than the plug-in label suggests. Per Carscoops, two 110 kW motors sit at the front axle to provide all-wheel drive and torque vectoring, while the third acts as a starter-generator behind the V8 and adds up to 221 lb-ft of torque. The Drive describes the car as the Huracan’s successor. A widebody kit adds drag and weight without changing any of that, which is why the claimed performance figures belong to the factory car and not to this yellow example.
Pricing and the Spyder on the way
A new Temerario starts from roughly $400,000, according to Autoevolution, and bespoke Ad Personam options can carry it well past $500,000, as Autoblog notes. Neither outlet gives a price for the RDB LA build, so the cost of the kit, the wheels and the labor is unknown. The coupe is not the only body style in play. Autoblog reports that spy shots of a Temerario Spyder show a power-retractable roof that takes about 17 seconds to operate, with the same 907-horsepower powertrain and a result that will likely be marginally slower than the fixed-roof coupe. Lamborghini has not published Spyder figures, and the roof timing comes from spy-shot reporting, not a company release.
Lamborghini’s own roadmap for the car is still widening. The 2024 launch coverage paraphrased research and development chief Rouven Mohr as saying a lighter, simpler rear-wheel-drive variant could follow the all-wheel-drive original, and Autoblog’s recent Temerario items cover a two-tone paint program, a possible off-road Sterrato and a Spyder. Against that backdrop, a privately built widebody is one more sign of how quickly owners are customizing a model that is just over two years old.
The open question is whether RDB LA or any other tuner will go beyond bodywork on a car this new. Autoevolution said the powertrain’s status could not be confirmed from the build’s social media post, and no engine modifications have been reported by either outlet as of Nov. 9.
