Lamborghini confirmed that all of its upcoming vehicles will start sporting an electric engine, unveiling its hybrid lineup roadmap, including its current vehicle lineup, such as the Urus, Aventador, and the Huracan.
A rim adorned with the Lamborghini logo is on display on a wall of an Indian dealership for Lamborghini in New Delhi on September 23, 2013. Two models of Lamborghini were on display at the dealership at a cost of about 30 million Indian rupees ( 480,000 USD), the cost for the top line of model sold in India will have a price of about 60 million Indian Rupees ( 958,000 USD). India's car industry sales rebounded by 15 percent in August on a monthly basis, data showed, but the industry still expects to contract in 2013/14 for the second year in a row.
Lamborghini's Upcoming Vehicles and Electric Engines
As per a news story Forbes, this year, 2022, marks the last year that the Italian luxury sports car maker is releasing its pure combustion powered engines.
The president of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann, himself announced that the Aventador and Hurucan are going electric on its next iteration after 2022.
The Lamborghini president clearly said that "it will be the last time that we only offer combustion engines."
According to a report by Electrek, the Italian luxury automaker is now changing its stance on electric engines.
Previously, way back in 2018, the chief technical officer of Lamborghini, Maurizio Reggiani, said that electric engines and sports performance does not come hand in hand.
Reggiani said back then that the goal of the Italy-based automaker is to produce a "super sports car," wherein he claimed that "these specifications don't exist with a battery package in terms of energy and power."
However, in 2021, Lamborghini announced that it is working on an all-electric car, which is expected to debut in the years to come.
And this time around, the sports car maker says that the end of its all combustion-powered cars is coming this year.
