Lamborghini EVs – an all-new GT and an electric Urus
Both the Revuelo and Huracan replacement are expected to have around a nine-year model life so as yet, Winkelmann has told Autocar that a commitment to what format their successors will take is still a few years out. What is definitely coming is Lamborghini’s first EV in 2028, a fourth model line that’s described as an ‘innovative’ high-riding GT with ‘more ground clearance’ using bleeding-edge battery tech. It will still, in Winkelmann’s words, “have the design of a very sexy car” and be “immediately recognisable as a Lamborghini”. Come 2030, Lamborghini’s line-up will be four-strong, consisting of the two PHEV supercars, the EV Urus and this fourth GT EV.
So what about preserving that inimitable ‘Lamboness’, a worry of all who love the Raging Bull? Winkelmann tells Autocar he so far has “no answer” as far as sound is concerned but that it is “up to us to prove that electric supercars can be as emotional as ICES”. Synthetic fuels are for him, not a dependable solution to keeping combustion engines alive.
He reaffirms the reality that all-electric power is a near-inevitability due to legislation that “will be so high for ICEs that it will be almost impossible for the ones with high displacement like ours to be compliant”.
