Yesterday Lamborghini unveiled the first details relating to the heir to the Aventador. Codenamed LB744, at the moment we know that it will be equipped with a new V12 combined with three electric motors for a total power of more than 1,000 HP, will be based on an unprecedented architecture, will benefit from a new 8-speed transverse dual-clutch rear gearbox and will see the debut of all-wheel drive in full electric mode. But this is not the only project Lamborghini has in the pipeline, which is already thinking about the successor to another of its super sports cars: the Huracán.
It will arrive in 2024
We still know very little about this future model, even if the CEO of the Bull house, Stephan Winkelmann, has in fact made it official that it will be launched over the next year and will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid. To the microphones of Road & Track, the number one of the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand underlined that it will be a “completely new Huracan”, which, and we add it, could represent the end of purely ICE Lamborghini models. The house of the Bull had in fact announced in recent months that by the end of 2024 it would hybridize the range in its entirety: translated, the heir to the Huracan could be the last model to integrate a sort of electrification and therefore to abandon the heat engine as the sole power source.
Electric future also for Lambo
From this point of view, it will be interesting to understand if the solutions applied on the successor of the Aventador will be the same that we will also find on the heir of the Huracan: the electrification strategy of Lamborghini is undergoing a strong acceleration in this precise historical phase, thanks to the uncertainty at European level which risks transforming overnight into a ban on the sale of cars with petrol and diesel engines starting from 2035. It is not finally, to exclude that the house of the Bull develops at least one last special edition of the Huracan, this one with an ICE engine and nothing else, just to celebrate the exit from the scene of the pure thermal.
