Another setback in Lamborghini’s electrification strategy has been announced. The Italian high-performance manufacturer’s first all-electric car, which was initially scheduled to debut in 2028, has been rescheduled for 2029.
Speaking at the company’s headquarters, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann voiced doubts about the market’s readiness for electric supercars. Winkelmann said, “We do not think 2029 is late to develop an electric automobile.” “We do not believe that the market in our segment will be prepared in 2025 or 2026.” This sentiment is in line with some luxury automakers’ growing concerns that existing EV technology may not be able to fully satisfy the specific needs of their clients, who place a high value on performance and sensory driving experiences.
Three hybrid vehicles are currently available from Lamborghini: the Urus SE, the Revuelto, and the freshly released Temerario, which retails for $330,000. A silent EV is a bit of an issue, according to the business, which merely wants to make sure that any EV bearing the Lamborghini label stands up to the brand’s tradition.
Previewed by the 2023 Lansador concept, the delayed EV is anticipated to be a high-riding coupe with two seats. Although early plans called for production to begin in 2028, Lamborghini has since changed its goal to launch the electrified vehicle in 2029. Regarding the future of a planned electric SUV that was supposed to come out in 2029 after the Lanzador, the business has said nothing.
