The Lamborghini lineup will include four key models by the year 2030, one of them fully electric. Supercars will only account for a half of the volume.
The corresponding statement was made by the company CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, in an interview with Yahoo! Finance. He said a hybrid successor to the retiring Aventador would be among them, but did not provide any further details. Earlier reports claimed that the Aventador replacement would use a V12 with an electric add-on, like the Sian, and debut in early 2022. Later on, another supercar is set to receive a part-electric system, and everything points to it being the Huracan.
Increasingly strict environmental laws in Europe are the main reason for the mass electrification we have been seeing lately. In order to keep ICE cars on the lineup, Lamborghini plans to use synthetic fuel, which apparently has the potential of becoming carbon-neutral in the future. However, as f right now, these are merely plans with no scientifically proved guarantee of efficiency.
The first EV of the Italian marque will debut in six or seven years’ time. If we were to interpret the statements made by Winkelmann regarding the lineup for 2030 in more specific terms, it would seem that the company is aiming to create a daily driver-friendly vehicle, much more so than any Lambo of the past. It might be a powerful and agile battery SUV, but your guess is probably as good as ours.
The EV will be the luxury marque’s fourth on lineup and its second daily driver by the time it comes out. As of right now, the Lamborghini Urus – which is featured in our gallery and the video here – is its first truly mass-market model.
