The hybrid supercar is equipped with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine and three electric motors, generating a combined 920 bhp and 1,029 Nm of torque. The engine produces 789 bhp and 729 Nm, while the electric motors contribute 148 bhp and 300 Nm. Power is transmitted via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. A 3.8 kWh battery supports the hybrid system and can be charged in 30 minutes with a 7 kW AC charger.

The car accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 340 kmph. Lamborghini claims the V8 engine revs up to 10,000 rpm, making it the highest-revving V8 in any production vehicle. Though the Temerario comes with all-wheel drive, it stands out as the first Lamborghini to offer a dedicated drift mode.

The Temerario features Lamborghini’s familiar wedge-shaped body, low profile, and aerodynamic design. The front includes sharp lines and LED headlights with hexagonal DRLs. At the rear, a central exhaust system is positioned between hexagonal tail-lamps.

The interior houses a 12.3-inch digital driver display, a 9.1-inch passenger screen, and an 8.4-inch vertical infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A new three-spoke steering wheel is included, along with five drive modes: Citta (FWD, fully electric), Strada, Sport and Corsa.

Porsche Macan GTS: Drive Experience

First up, we got the chance to experience the Macan GTS SUV. As soon as you step into it, you notice the impeccable interior quality which has always been a Porsche hallmark. At the outset, the Macan is silent and quiet- however, push it more and it becomes a complete beast. Across the track which included the slalom obstacle, it totally impressed us with its poise and confidence around the tight corners as well as the punchy 2.9L flat-six petrol engine which propelled the car forward with great urgency.

The quad-tip exhaust has also been tuned well and offers superb aural pleasure when pushed enhancing the experience further.

Porsche Macan EV Turbo: Drive Experience

Next up was the all-electric Macan EV in the “Turbo” guise. Stepping inside the Macan EV felt just like stepping into one of Porsche’s sportscars. With a futuristic looking fully-digital cluster and snug sport seats, it felt modern while also retaining the “Porsche-ness” of the materials as well as the fit and finish. Release the brake and the Macan EV creeps up silently. Make no mistake looking at the EV tag however because the Porsche DNA still runs through its veins.

The beautiful thing about the Macan EV Turbo is that it can be the comfortable and refined luxury SUV to potter around the town in and all it takes is a little more throttle to bring out the animal in it. Being an EV, it offers instant torque which immediately pushes you back into the seat. Now, the Macan EV is a heavy car, but with the battery pack mounted low down in the floor, it doesn’t feel its weight and corners just like any other Porsche.

On the track, both cars offered fairly varied experience, although they also both demonstrated the core of Porsche which is a car truly built around the driver.

• 4.4L V8 with strong hybrid
• 727HP, 1000NM torque
• Rear axle steering

BMW India has launched the latest generation of their performance sedan, the M5. Codenamed the G90, it is priced at Rs. 1.99 Crore (Ex-showroom) and for the first time gets a strong hybrid powertrain.

BMW M5: Design & Interiors 

As with previous M5s, the new version also gets sportier styling compared to the regular 5 series sedan. At the front, the grille gets the gloss black treatment and a more aggressive bumper with a wider air dam. Towards the side, the new M5 gets 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels. Then there is also the chunkier and sportier side sills and the flared wheel arches. At the rear, it gets a new spoiler as well as a very aggressive bumper with black chrome quad exhausts and a diffuser as well. There are also vertical cuts on either sides housing the reflector.

For India, BMW is also offering the M Carbon package as standard which adds carbon fibre mirror caps, rear spoiler and carbon roof which saves about 30KGs of weight. Alternatively, buyers can also spec it with a panoramic sunroof.

Inside, there is a new leather steering wheel with a flat bottom and red marker at the top. It also gets BMW’s ‘Curved Display’ which houses the digital gauge cluster as well as the touchscreen infotainment system which now runs on iDrive 8.5. There is also new ambient lighting, new gear shift knob and M Multifunction seats with an illuminated M5 logo. Music is put out through an 18-speaker Bowers and Wilkins sound system which also gets a 655W amplifier.

BMW M5: Performance

Under the hood is where the new M5 has gained much more power. For the first time ever, the M5 gets powered by a strong hybrid powertrain making use of a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 paired to an 8 speed torque converter and an electric drive unit with an 18.6kWh battery pack. The engine alone makes 585HP and 750NM of torque while the electric motor adds another 197HP and 280NM. Combined, it puts out an astonishing 727HP and 1000NM of torque. According to BMW, the battery offers the M5 an all-electric range of 69Kms (WLTP).

Driving the wheels is an M xDrive all-wheel-drive system which gets rear biased in the Sport mode while also offering drivers the option to exclusively drive the rear wheels. The M5 is also equipped with an adaptive M suspension with electronic dampers as well as rear axle steering which steers the rear wheels by upto 1.5 degrees to aid in handling.

Courtesy to all this gadgetry, the M5 sprints from 0-100Kmph in just 3.5 seconds. Top speed for the G90 M5 is 250Kmph which can be further raised to 305Kmph with an optional M Driver’s Package. BMW also says that it will reach a top speed of 140Kmph in an all-electric mode. Further, optioning the M Professional package, the left paddleshift also gets a ‘Boost’ feature which adds short bursts of power when activated via the electric drive unit. An optional M Drive Professional package also unlocks ‘TRACK’ mode along with a lap timer and a Boost Control function.

BMW M5: Price, Rivals

For India, BMW has priced the M5 at Rs. 1.99 Crores (Ex-showroom) without options. Imported as a CBU (Completely Built-up Unit), it gets ten standard exterior colour options- Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Sophisto Grey, Brooklyn Grey, Fire Red, Carbon Black, Isle of Man Green, Storm Bay, Marina Bay Blue, Frozen Deep Grey. Further the full leather Merino upholstery inside can be had in Red-Black, Kyalami Orange, Silverstone-Black and Black colour themes.
