The development process for the successor to the Lamborghini Aventador has moved to southern Europe. Lamborghini is working at full capacity on its new supercar. An electrified model with light hybrid technology that will continue to rely on the V12 engine.
Lamborghini has stepped up the accelerator on the development of its long-awaited new supercar. A model that will kick off your electrification process. The successor to the Lamborghini Aventador will soon be a reality. Once again, our photographers have spotted a test specimen in broad daylight. However, there is a very important novelty compared to previous sightings.
The time and place where this prototype was hunted allows us to take a look inside. The brand has made several oversights that, although they do not completely reveal the interior, they are decisive to observe for the first time some of the components that will make up the interior of this new model that, let us remember, remains to be seen if it will keep the same name or the trade name Aventador will be left behind.

In this first visual contact with the interior you can glimpse the instrument panel and the multifunction steering wheel. The rest of the dashboard, as you can see, is covered in camouflage. Lamborghini is being very careful throughout the development process and it is really rare that the brand makes any oversight. Moreover, in this sighting we cannot define it as carelessness since it is logical that the instrument panel is exposed while driving.
There is nothing new on the outside. Most of the bodywork is still covered in camouflage. Even the headlamps are almost completely covered. Even so, we can perfectly appreciate the forms that the air intakes and the engine cover will take. The sports exhaust system with four outlets in a central position is also free of camouflage.
Beyond the design or the technological equipment, which is important in a vehicle of this category, the main key to the successor to the Aventador will lie in the mechanical section. It will succumb to electrification by betting on plug-in hybrid technology (PHEV). However, this does not mean that it is going to give up one of the main insignia of the company.

Lamborghini has opted for a powertrain made up of a 6.5-liter V12 gasoline engine combined with an electric motor. This combination, added to a high-voltage lithium-ion battery, will allow very high performance to be achieved, preventing consumption and emissions from skyrocketing. The latest reports speak of a power that will exceed the 800 hp barrier.
When will it be revealed? Development continues to progress apace. It won’t be until next year when we see his coming-out. The commercial launch of the successor to the Aventador will take place in the fourth quarter of 2023.
