After scrapping its first ever EV, this is what Lamborghini is doing instead

After canceling its first-ever EV, Lamborghini changed course – and this is what it’s doing instead.

The Lanzador concept car was unveiled back in August 2023 during Monterey Car Week.

This was intended to preview the company’s first EV, but that was delayed back in December.

However, something else is going to take its place.

Lamborghini canceled its first-ever EV, here’s what is coming instead

When the Lanzador was unveiled at Monterey Car Week back in August 2023, it was to preview the company’s first EV.

However, it’s two years later, and there’s still no sign of Lamborghini’s first-ever EV.

CEO Stephan Winklemann has said that hybrids are the way to go, as they better preserve the brand’s value, and there’s insufficient EV demand in the luxury sports car market.

Considering that most people buying Lambos are looking for V8 or V12 powerhouses, it’s easy to see his point.

“The first decision [we made as a result of the EV market] is that Urus replacement would be, again, a plug-in hybrid, and that we postpone the launch of the fourth [model],” he told Australian publication Carexpert.

The Lanzador EV, originally expected to arrive in 2028, has been delayed by at least two years, as recently reported.

The hybrid is perhaps seen as a compromise for automakers – meeting increasingly punitive emission rules, while offering customers a high-power engine experience.

Are electric cars the future, or is the tide turning?

You would assume that electric cars are the future, with the way things are going.

In the UK, more miles are covered by EVs than they are by gas cars, while the electric Porsche Macan is outselling the gas version.

It’s expected that one in four cars sold in 2025 will be EVs – and this figure will be 40 percent by 2030.

But it’s not all on the up – as Maserati’s Head of Engineering said that people have a ‘bad feeling’ about electric supercars.

And then there was this recent report that found that EVs were making some drivers queasy due to motion sickness.
