Compare the2025 Lamborghini TemerarioVS 2024 Lexus RC F

The Temerario has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The RC F doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The Temerario offers an optional 360 degree parking monitor to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The RC F only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

Both the Temerario and RC F offer rear cross-traffic warning, but the Temerario with Rear Cross Traffic Alert also has Rear Cross Traffic Alert (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The RC F’s Rear Cross-Traffic Alert doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the Temerario and the RC F have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras, available crash mitigating brakes and blind spot warning systems.

The Temerario comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The RC F’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

The Temerario’s corrosion warranty is 6 years longer than the RC F’s (12 vs. 6 years).

Lamborghini pays for scheduled maintenance (up to 5 visits) on the Temerario for 4 years and 65000 miles longer than Lexus pays for maintenance for the RC F (5/75000 vs. 1/10,000).

The Temerario’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 435 more horsepower (907 vs. 472) and 195 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 395) than the RC F’s 5.0 DOHC V8.

Regenerative brakes improve the Temerario’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The RC F doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

The Temerario offers a standard sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The RC F doesn’t offer an SMG or a conventional manual transmission.

All wheel drive, available in the Temerario, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Lexus RC F is not available with all wheel drive.

For better stopping power the Temerario’s brake rotors are larger than those on the RC F:

For better traction, the Temerario has larger tires than the RC F (F:255/35R20 & R:325/30R21 vs. F:235/35R19 & R:275/35R19).

The Temerario’s 325/30R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the RC F’s standard 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Temerario has standard 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels. Only 19-inch wheels are available on the RC F.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Temerario is 6.6 inches wider in the front and 4.3 inches wider in the rear than on the RC F.

The Temerario is 7.4 inches shorter in height than the RC F, making the Temerario much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

The Temerario’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The RC F does not have an oil pressure gauge.
