At the first encounter between Italian long jumper Larissa Iapichino and the Lamborghini Temerario, the gold-medallist smiles and describes the car as a beautiful girl, powerful, with grace and beauty.
The Temerario is in good company. Long jumper Larissa is at the top of her game, most recently winning a gold medal for Italy at the 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships and a silver medal at the 2026 World Indoor Championships.
She is the only Italian woman to reach two Diamond League finals in 2024 and 2025. She now heads into the 2026 outdoor season, culminating in the European Championships and the World Athletics Ultimate Championships.
Multifaceted Identity and Personal Style
Like the Temerario, Larissa is mesmerising: physically honed and focused not only on performance but on how her sporting prowess and deep sense of self-knowledge is reflected in her lifestyle.
She works daily to produce exceptional athletic achievements while continuing her law studies and, when not in her team’s sporting uniform, is a fashionista with a refined sense of personal colour and style.
Larissa stated she likes to be many things at the same time, noting it is important to know yourself and to trust in your abilities. That shows in how she approaches life, athletics, studies, and appearance.
She expresses her own style and likes to be prepared, dressed, and ready for anything. She can be quiet, elegant, and defined but with boldness—a spice. Sport, design, and fashion are all similar: to be the best and produce that special something that sets one apart, there must be the utmost attention to detail.
The Launch Control Moment
In the new video from Lamborghini ‘The Moment Before Performance,’ Larissa Iapichino encounters the Temerario—two remarkable personalities with sports, power, and a zest for life at their heart.
Larissa described herself as many things at the same time, a split personality. In sport she is fearless, strong, and motivated, but there must also be power, elegance, and poise in long jump. Her engine roars into life the moment she commences the run-up; without the right impulsion and precision it won’t be a successful jump.
The moment before take-off, everything must come together—an instant suspended in time, combining every moment of preparation and every hour of training. She converts the pressure to push through the limits, and for a second the world stops: this is her launch control moment.
Temerario Technical Performance
When the chequered flag control button on its steering wheel is turned, and the driver selects Corsa ‘race’ mode, the Lamborghini Temerario activates its own launch control, propelling itself from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.
Like an athlete at the top of their game, the Lamborghini Temerario fuses power, performance, and turns heads with its confident, instantly definable appearance and lifestyle credentials—as capable on the track as it is in everyday life.
It combines a new V8 twin-turbo engine with three electric motors for a total power output of 920 CV and is the first and only production super sports car able to reach 10,000 rpm. The High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) delivers Lamborghini’s electrification philosophy: ultimate sporting performance with emissions reduction and a super sports car for every day of life.
