On January 24th, 2022, Lamborghini announced that this year will be the last year of producing pure internal combustion engine cars.
Starting from next year, Lamborghini will only produce new energy vehicles, and may gradually transition from hybrid models to pure electric models in the future.
Lamborghini’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, confirmed that Lamborghini’s first all-electric car could possibly be a four-door car in the future.
Previously, Lamborghini had always refused to consider the possibility of producing electric supercars. In 2018, Lamborghini’s Head of Research and Development Maurizio Reggiani said that, “Lamborghini’s goal is to produce supercars, and the battery pack that satisfies our needs does not exist.”
However, in recent years, it has been proven that the electric supercar is feasible. Croatian supercar brand Rimac has launched the electric supercar Nevara, Tesla has launched the Roadster, and Volkswagen has also launched the ID.R.
Since last year, Lamborghini has gradually loosened its stance, confirming that it will launch a pure electric car around 2028, which may be a four-door car suitable for daily use.
According to reports, Lamborghini revealed more details about its electrification plan to the media yesterday. Lamborghini’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, stated that this year will be Lamborghini’s last year of launching pure gasoline new cars, and from next year, Lamborghini will only launch HEV and PHEV models, and ultimately only launch pure electric models.
Lamborghini also stated that, “Although we are not the first car company to enter electrification, once we enter this field, Lamborghini will definitely become the best new energy vehicle.”
