Lamborghini , at the beginning of July, had presented the Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae, its latest supercar equipped with a V12 engine without any kind of electrification . The future for the sports brand is, however, precisely in electrification. In fact, in 2023 it will arrive. its first hybrid model. Moreover, in the second part of the decade it will debut & agrave; also his first 100% electric car. Autocar had the opportunity to speak with the CEO of the car manufacturer Stephan Winkelmann who told some more details; of this plan that will revolutionize Lamborghini models.
BETS ON HYBRID
First of all & egrave; a detail emerged on a & quot; mysterious & quot; new model which is expected to be announced in the course of the summer. Apparently, it will dispose of of a V12 with supercapacitor technology which already has; we find, for example, on the Lamborghini Sian. However, this technology is not; deemed suitable for achieving the emissions reduction target. That's why & eacute; the punter & agrave; on Plug-in solutions that will enable a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2025.
Before that, in 2022 the manufacturer will launch; two models based on Huracan and Urus . Lamborghini passer & agrave; then to electrify the entire range of its cars in 2023 and 2024. The CEO emphasizes that & egrave; still early to understand if the V10 will be & agrave; electrified as the next generation of the Huracan supercar will arrive in 2024. The successor of the Aventador, however, will arrive & agrave; in 2023 and will have; of a thrusterV12 Plug-in hybrid .
The supercar, therefore, will be able to always count on an engine that has made Lamborghini history even if it will have; of an electrified solution. Speaking of the additional weight of PHEV systems that can affect the driving experience, the CEO of the brand points out that it is more; It is important to discuss the weight/power ratio . Probably a way of saying that thanks to PHEV technology, the car will be; more powerful and therefore you can & agrave; offset the extra weight. This does not, of course, mean that Lamborghini can work to minimize weight gain by making extensive use of carbon and other sophisticated solutions.
And on the possibility; that a hybrid V6 arrives, Winkelmann says that they will evaluate all the hypotheses and that in the end they will make a decision that & egrave; been defined as & quot; balanced & quot ;. The brand will propose & agrave; always engines that can & quot; surprise & quot; positively fans and customers. As for their first 100% electric model, it will not be; of an SUV but not even a supercar. Instead, it will be a 2 + 2 that you can drive daily. Obviously, for the electrification process, the builder will work; in close contact with the Volkswagen Group.
