Lamborghini delays

Lamborghini is well on its way to becoming the last sports car manufacturer in the world to unveil a 100% electric model!

Lamborghini was already certain to be one of the last major automakers to enter the electric market with its plan to introduce its first electric vehicle in 2028. And at best, it will be in 2029, as the CEO of the Italian brand Stephan Winkelmann confirmed to our colleagues at Reuters.

This announcement fits into a broader trend of delaying the switch to 100% electric. Among sports car manufacturers, Porsche stands out with its Taycan, which has been dominating the market for a few years, and the Macan, set to become the benchmark for compact SUVs. However, the German manufacturer has postponed the introduction of the 718 Cayman / Boxster which is expected to debut next year. Ferrari is working on its electric supercar but seems to need quite a bit more time to find a sound signature capable of giving it a soul. For all others, there is a clear preference for hybridization, allowing them to buy some ecological peace of mind while still providing their dose of decibels to customers deeply attached to internal combustion.

Acknowledged Lack of Enthusiasm

Lamborghini has never hidden that developing an electric supercar was a challenge that went far beyond mere performance. You buy a Lamborghini to enjoy driving and to be seen… and heard. Still grappling with the noise issue, the brand with the bull will continue to operate for a few more years with its current lineup of three hybrid models. The recently updated Urus SUV, the Revuelto which replaces the Aventador, and the Temerario, succeeding the Huracan. Until we see what the other brands will do, unless they decide to follow its example!
