Painting this Lamborghini Temerario took so long that 25,000 Toyota Corollas were built in the same time

Most Lamborghini builds take hours in the paint booth. This one took months.

A brand-new Temerario has appeared in Miami wearing a finish so elaborate it looks less sprayed and more sculpted.

It’s the kind of car you stare at before you even think about its 900-horsepower hybrid system.

Because in the making of this supercar, time was the most expensive ingredient.

The Temerario paint job that took longer than building 25,000 Corollas

The first Temerario delivered in the Americas arrived wearing a paint job that swallowed two straight months of hand work. 

Lamborghini’s Ad Personam team spent 320 hours layering color, texture, and crystal-like depth onto every carbon-fiber surface, all by hand. 

For perspective, as Carbuzz pointed out, Toyota can stamp out roughly 25,600 Corollas in the same window.

Instead of a single shade, the team fused Verde Shock, Grigio Maat, and Nero Nemesis into a pattern that almost reads like digital camouflage, but with a softness you only get from a human touch. 

Lamborghini doesn’t publish pricing for jobs this bespoke, but a normal body shop spending that many hours would ring up around $50,000 in labor alone. 

And that’s before you even get to the interior, which keeps the theme running. 

The seats are finished in Grigio Octane with sharp Verde Scandal accents, the start-stop flap gets its own crystal-paint treatment, and the logos are redesigned in matching embroidered detail. 

It’s full Ad Personam energy, just dialed up to art-installation mode.

Underneath all that, it’s still a serious machine. 

The Temerario’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 spins to 10,000rpm on its own, making 789 horsepower before the three electric motors chime in for a combined 907 horsepower. 

This car also carries the Alleggerita package – around 60lb shaved off, more than 100lb of downforce added.

Though let’s be honest, this specific one probably isn’t lapping a circuit anytime soon.

Lamborghini is leaning harder into the supercar-as-artwork era

Art Basel isn’t just a backdrop for Lamborghini – it’s become one of the brand’s favorite places to show off its most experimental ideas. 

The company has spent the last few years building a reputation not just for performance hybrids, but for personalization that borders on gallery-level craftsmanship.

The Temerario fits that shift perfectly. 

Lamborghini’s newer models aren’t just faster, they’re becoming more expressive, more customizable, and more tied to the owner’s personality. 

Paint, upholstery, materials, even tiny switchgear details – everything is treated like an opportunity to push the aesthetic envelope.

It’s a clear signal of where the brand is heading: supercars that aren’t only engineered, but curated.

And if this two-month paint job is any indication, Lamborghini is more than willing to blur the line between road car and art installation.
