The Lamborghini brand is ready to start its ambitious electrification process. The Italian manufacturer points out that 2022 will be the last year before its entry into the world of electric mobility. 2023 will be marked by the arrival of the successor to the Aventador with hybrid mechanics and, a year later, the company’s first plug-in hybrid will debut.
Lamborghini It is no stranger to the transition process towards electric mobility that the automotive industry is experiencing globally and, especially, in Europe. The exclusive and popular Italian firm has drawn up an ambitious strategic plan that will allow it to complete an electrification process. In a short space of time, the brand will carry out the launch of a whole series of novelties.
Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini, has made some very interesting and enlightening statements to a British specialized media. Some comments that allow us to clear up some of the doubts regarding how Lamborghini will face its electrification process at the highest level. And it is that, although the company has already flirted with electrification, and proof of this is the Lamborghini Sián, the time has come for the manufacturer from Sant’Agata Bolognese (Italy), to go a step further.
Lamborghini’s new hybrid and electric cars
The commercial success that the Lamborghini Urus has been reaping has allowed the company to consolidate a really good position to face this transition towards sustainable mobility in the best conditions. The electrification of the entire Lamborghini range is about to begin. And it will do so in the hands of a striking supercar that must take over from the current Lamborghini Aventador.
When asked whether or not the company is ready to make the move to electrified models, Winkelmann was quite clear about it: “They are certainly ready for hybridization because we always said that we don’t need to be the first, but when we do , we need to be the best, and this is something that we strongly believe is going to happen.
The top leader of Lamborghini also assured that the electrification of its two supercars and its SUV will allow the average emissions of the range to be halved. This new roadmap indicates that the 2022 will be the last year that the Lamborghini range is made up of models with conventional combustion engines exclusively.
Lamborghini will only offer hybrid vehicles from 2025
The brand’s product offering will be made up exclusively of hybrid vehicles from the year 2025. “By 2025 we will offer only hybrid cars in our lineup,” Winkelmann said. The first of these hybrids is currently under development and, as we have previously pointed out, it will take the place of the Aventador. A model that, in the words of Winkelmann, will use “a completely new V12 engine.”
Although meeting stringent emissions regulations with a V12 engine is really hard, the Italian brand will continue betting on these engines as they are part of Lamborghini’s DNA.
A year later, in 2024, it will be the turn of the plug-in hybrid variant (PHEV) of the Urus. In 2025 we will witness the coming-out of the Lamborghini Huracán with hybrid mechanics. The Lamborghini’s first electric car will be in a position to experience its debut in society at some point between 2025 and 2030.
