Climate change and the collective world government freak-out over carbon emissions in the past few years have led luxury supercar automakers like Lamborghini down a very strict path: adapt or die. However, they’re going to adapt, and the future products will be better for it, as the push for electrification places the Italian automaker right at the cutting edge of the latest technology. Here’s what we can expect from four newly confirmed future Lamborghini models by the end of the decade.
Future Lamborghinis to Come
Lamborghini’s confirmed future plans today include a hybrid successor to the Huracan sports car, a hybrid version of the Urus SUV, and a higher-performance super SUV that will debut after the Lanzador EV. All of these models are set to launch before 2030, complying with newer emissions and drivetrain regulations for every market where the brand operates.
This year, Lamborghini will introduce a hybrid version of the Urus SUV along with a new hybrid replacement for the Huracan sports car. Its first fully-electric model is expected by 2028 and will be closer to a small SUV but heavily inspired by the design of lower sports cars in size and shape, as previewed by the stunning Lanzador concept vehicle. Consequently, Lamborghini will also introduce a second SUV model, a larger vehicle than the Urus said to be a fully-electric super SUV due by 2029.
What We Already Know
The brand has initiated its electrification push with mild series hybrids in the past, and the all-new Revuelto hybrid super sports car (the replacement for the Aventador) is currently the crown jewel. This highlights Lamborghini’s philosophy going forward: reduce CO2 emissions across the board without jeopardizing performance—on the contrary, they aim to improve upon it.
The Revuelto maintains its 6.5-liter V-12 powertrain by adding three electric motors, resulting in a total output of over 1,000 horsepower while achieving 35 percent improved efficiency over the Aventador. The new hybrid Huracan successor is expected to feature an electronically-assisted 4.0-liter V-8 powertrain with a bespoke quad-turbo setup that revs to 10,000 rpm, with the turbos activating only above 7,000 rpm.
The Lanzador EV concept teaser showcases an all-electric powertrain featuring an e-motor unit driving each axle for all-wheel drive, with an impressive output of up to 1,340 hp. Whether the brand’s first full-EV will maintain its two-door, 2-plus-2 seating layout remains uncertain. Additionally, the future all-electric super SUV slated for 2029 will likely exceed the Lanzador in size and performance.
What Makes a Lamborghini?
Lamborghini emphasizes six key pillars of focus for each new model. These include the human-machine interface—how the driver interacts with the vehicle through screens and buttons; the incorporation of carbon fiber and lightweight techniques for enhanced performance; the use of electrified powertrains; an “advanced” frame for structural integrity and housing cutting-edge technology; improved aerodynamic studies; and fully-integrated pilot driving control to replicate the sensation of being a jet pilot. Consequently, expect each of these new models to undergo comprehensive testing before gaining production approval, resulting in an impressive lineup by the end of the decade.
