Lamborghini announces its electrification plan in turn. The brand is preparing plug-in hybrids and a 100% electric vehicle.
The all-thermal cars are also making a farewell tour at Lamborghini. The year 2022 “will be the last time we offer only combustion engines”. This was announced by its CEO Stephan Winkelmann in a series of interviews with Autocar, Automotive News Europe, or Bloomberg.
Lamborghini will unveil four first “plugged-in” models in 2023. These plug-in hybrids will feature an electric motor and a battery capable of either propelling the car for a few dozen kilometers in 100% electric mode or complementing the thermal engine, which will probably be less powerful as a trade-off. All this will allow the manufacturer to reduce consumption and emissions of its cars to meet pollution control measures.
The entire Lamborghini catalog will be electrified the following year, in 2024.
The first Lamborghini 100% electric will not be a supercar
The first Lamborghini 100% electric is planned for the second half of the decade. According to Stephan Winkelmann, the manufacturer is leaning toward a raised four-door suitable for everyday use. It must be said that the competition is fierce in the market for 100% electric supercars and hypercars, with models like the Rimac Nevera already overtaking the best thermal cars.
This first “Lambo” electric will not be the Urus. The CEO indeed announced that the completely new 100% electric Urus will succeed it in 2029.
The brand has allocated 1.5 billion euros to its electrification plan. Bentley, another subsidiary of the Volkswagen group, has just announced an investment of 2.5 billion pounds (3 billion euros) and its intention to convert to 100% electric by 2030.
