Lamborghini, like all supercar and sportscar manufacturers. Will try to maintain the internal combustion engine as long as possible. As if it became his identity. However, look at the latest developments and regulations. In the end they were forced to sell only pure electric vehicles.
The manufacturer confirmed that their first electric car will be introduced in 2028 and mass production in 2030. The form is a crossover / SUV that has a high ground clearance.
It doesn't look like it will be a replacement for Urus this time. Because that model will also be replaced by EV vehicles, before the end of the decade. "Our first step is to launch two fully electric cars by 2030. As a result, we have time to decide whether the company can stick with internal combustion engines.
Or should go fully electric. The pressure to decide the final details is not here yet. If the European Parliament decides ban, will obviously affect our decision, “said Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, quoted from Autocar.
Look at this statement. The manufacturer most likely wanted to keep the internal combustion engine. Then bring a replacement for the Huracan and Aventador, which are believed to be large plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) in the next generation.
They might even carry PHEV for two more generations. If, of course, European regulations do not prohibit internal combustion engines (petrol) after 2030.
Winkelmann adds, “There are so many markets. That way the plans can be different. So we had to take the time to consider the best route forward. It's not simple. Of course, we have to make a decision well in advance of any deadline.
And maybe we can't wait for the rules to take effect. However, this strategy with two fully electric cars is a decision that gives us more time to consider.”
The first Lambo EV will most likely use a variation of the Artemis platform. Currently being developed by Audi. Just so you know, the construction board will also be used to support the Bentley EV in the future.
Including a replacement for Mulsanne who will have an electric heart. To date, we can see projections of the entire product line (Urus, Aventador and Huracan) becoming plug-in hybrids by 2024.
Well, the image you see is a rendering of the Lambo EV. Instead it was designed with a low side profile and four-door format. The EV is expected to have a taller posture, as a result of the floor-mounted battery pack.
The hope, he will have a more dramatic style. Namely according to the typical design line of the Italian manufacturer. Need more accentuation, in order to imply the strength of the car and as a differentiation from other models.
