"But speaking of kicking up, it also has a pretty interesting problem that is wreaking havoc for other drivers on the road. According to Matt Farah, host of The Smoking Tire, the Temerario might be a riot to drive, but it's an absolute menace to follow. He recently appeared on an episode of Spike's Car Radio where he talked about filming the European-spec version of the hybrid Lambo, where he was pelted by pebbles and managed to crack three windshields while chasing it."
""I've never driven any car in my life that gravel-cannons like this car. You can't get within 50 feet of one of these things," Farah said, recalling the incident. "We cracked three windshields." He had host Spike Feresten pull up a photo of the Temerario's rear and pointed out how exposed the rear tires are. You can see it in the photo above, toothe rear bumper is cut quite high, exposing about two-thirds of the rear tires."
The Lamborghini Temerario is the automaker's first V8 hybrid with three electric motors and a powerful twin-turbo engine. The rear bumper is cut high, exposing about two-thirds of the rear tires and creating an aggressive, open-wheel appearance. The exposed rear tires sling gravel and small stones backward with great force, turning the car into a mobile rock slingshot. Multiple filming runs and chase situations produced cracked windshields on following vehicles after being pelted by pebbles. The design tradeoff emphasizes dramatic styling and aerodynamic aggression at the cost of projecting debris and requiring unusually large following distances.
