The Bull’s Challenge

The lead feature of the October issue of GENROQ is “The Evolution of the Latest Lamborghini.” We bring you a first-time test drive report of the new “Temerario,” the third-generation “baby Lamborghini”—the successor to the Huracan. Through an explanation of the unusual 10,000-rpm V8 twin-turbo engine and an interview with the person in charge of development, we reveal the secrets of the Temerario. The feature also includes the final limited edition model, the “Huracan STJ,” and the “Urus SE vs. Urus Performante,” unravelling the current state of Lamborghini.

The second feature is “The Ultimate Super Sports.” Check out the impressions of two new hypercars, the Aston Martin Valhalla and the Ferrari F80.

The third feature is our regular “THE BATTLE” feature. It’s a substantial feature with four main battles: 1) Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet vs. Aston Martin Vantage Roadster, 2) Audi SQ6 e-tron vs. Porsche Macant Turbo, 3) BMW Alpina D3 S Touring vs. BMW M3 Touring, and 4) BMW M235 Gran Coupe vs. BMW 220d Gran Coupe.

In addition, the book thoroughly introduces the latest luxury and sports cars, including the Cadillac Lyriq, Lexus RX450h+, Volvo EX30 Cross Country, and BMW M2. Be sure to purchase it at bookstores or online shops.

Lamborghini Temerario delivers performance beyond imagination!

[EVOLVING LAMBORGHINI] The name is said to be that of a former fighting bull. Lamborghini's new Temerario is the company's first mid-mounted V8 plug-in hybrid. What kind of pleasure will this new fighting bull bring, inheriting the tradition of its flagship models that continued with the Gallardo and Huracan? — [EVOLVING LAMBORGHINI] Its name is said to be that of a former fighting bull.

A showdown between the old and new Urus

[EVOLVING LAMBORGHINI] Lamborghini's best-selling model, the Urus, has undergone a minor change, evolving into the plug-in hybrid Urus SE. Its driving performance has been praised for being dramatically refined, but some say its more spartan feel is more Lamborghini-like. So we took both the old and new models for a test run. — [EVOLVING LAMBORGHINI] Lamborghini’s best-selling model, the Urus, has undergone a minor change, evolving into the Urus SE plug-in hybrid.

The crucible of pleasure, the shocking performance of the Ferrari F80

[ULTIMATE SUPERSPORT] Starting with the 288GTO in 1984, followed by the F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, and LaFerrari Aperta, the latest addition to these iconic super sports cars is the F80. Each of these series has redefined sports driving in its own time.

Vantage Roadster vs 911 Cabriolet: A fierce rivalry

[THE BATTLE] Following on from the coupe, the roadster version of the new Aston Martin Vantage has now arrived. The 4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine has improved by 155 PS and 115 Nm from the previous model, making it a truly unique unit. Therefore, it was only fitting that the most powerful open-top model should take on the Vantage. And so, the car we asked to see is the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet. — [THE BATTLE] Following on from the coupe, the roadster version of the new Aston Martin Vantage has now arrived.
