Lamborghini is working to step up and materialize its electrification strategy, with the first prototypes of a plug-in hybrid that have been spotted during road tests. It will be the model that will take the place of the Aventador and should be equipped with a new one electrified V12 engine. There is always talk of a super-hybrid with an innovative architecture, with the first Lamborghini PHEV that could debut as early as the end of 2022.
In the first tests it is difficult to grasp the first stylistic elements of this new model given the presence of heavy covers on the bodywork but at the rear you can see the four tailpipes of the exhaust system located in the center in a raised position, as well as part of the front optical signature and some air intakes in the lower part of the front bumper. The hybrid on tap will be the first step towards sustainable mobility of the car manufacturer from Sant’Agata Bolognese, with Huracan and Urus also following the same path. The “Cor Tauri Management” strategy outlined several months ago by CEO Stephan Winkelmann then foresees the arrival of the first electric Lamborghini that will appear on the market by the end of the decade, with a 2 + 2 setting and a bodywork that could combine it with a highly developed crossover or SUV coupé. sporty. The del Toro brand has nevertheless committed itself to defending its philosophy and its DNA and for this reason it will try to keep the twelve-cylinder alive, also creating in the future a full electric supercar that does not negatively affect the performance and feeling that Lamborghini cars do. they have always been able to deliver.
“The plug-in hybrid car that will follow the Aventador will have a V12 engine, so the sound and the story will stay alive” – Winkelmann had explained in an interview on the topic – engineers will work to reconfigure the steering, suspension, brakes and aerodynamics to mitigate the inevitable weight gain caused by an electrified transmission. The engine will be completely new and will have a different configuration than the one on the Aventador. It will comply with the latest emissions regulations. “
