Lamborghini has officially decided against launching an electric supercar.
It appears the luxury car brand has done a total U-turn on its EV plans.
The news comes amidst insufficient demand for an all-electric supercar.
The brand will reportedly focus on hybrid offerings instead.

Lamborghini bins plans for all-electric supercar
Lamborghini has just released some pretty major news.
The Italian supercar manufacturer has officially confirmed its plans for the future.
Those plans now do not include making an all-electric supercar.
You might remember that Lamborghini revealed plans to present an all-electric supercar back in 2023.
The Lanzador was revealed as the brand’s first all-electric offering.
Yet it has now been confirmed that the project has been scrapped.
Brand chief executive Stephan Winkelmann detailed the reasons for the plans.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Winkelmann explained that developing EVs risked becoming ‘an expensive hobby’ for the brand.
He also believed that the ‘acceptance curve’ for EVs among fans was ‘getting close to zero’.
Is hybrid the way forward for the supercar industry?
Instead, Winkelmann confirmed that the proposed Lanzador would be replaced by a plug-in hybrid.
In the meantime, Lamborghini plans to continue building ICE-powered supercars for as long as possible.
The move marks an intriguing shift for the Bologna brand.
Lamborghini reported an incredibly successful year for 2025.
In fact, it delivered a record-breaking 10,747 units across the globe during the past 12 months.
A big part of that success has been found in the brand’s strategy of embracing hybrid technology.
Two models, in particular, have been responsible for the buoyed success.
These are the Revuelto supercar (a hybrid) and the plug-in hybrid version of the Urus SUV.
Winkelmann ended his interview by pointing out the likely reason for the success of hybrid models.
“Plug-in hybrids offer the best of both worlds, combining the agility and low-rev boost of electric battery technology with the emotion and power output of an internal combustion engine,” he said.
