Electric Lambo coming soon
TDT | agencies
Lamborghini is working on its first all-electric vehicle, which will be based on the Lanzador concept revealed in 2023. The EV will be built on a dedicated platform designed for Volkswagen Group's performance and luxury brands.
Speaking at Volkswagen Group's annual media conference, CEO Oliver Blum e confirmed that the platform, developed by Porsche, will be shared with Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Porsche. It will support up to 1,973 bhp and a 980V electrical architecture. Blume described it as a "very specific setup" tailored for Lamborghini.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann previously suggested that the upcoming EV would have at least 1,341 bhp, emphasizing that while high power is crucial, driver engagement and emotional appeal remain the brand's priority.
The 980V electrical system marks a major step for Volkswagen Group's performance models. While most EVs use a 400V architecture, an increasing number are shifting to 800V for faster charging and improved efficiency. Some Chinese manufacturers have already introduced 900V systems.
Blume confirmed that the new EV will be assembled at Lamborghini's headquarters in Sant'Agata, Italy, though details on battery and body production remain undisclosed. He assured, 'I promise that it will be a typical Lamborghini, something very emotional.'
As the brand's first EV, the model will not replace an existing car but instead expand Lamborghini's lineup. Winkelmann noted that this reduces the risk of sales cannibalization and could even boost overall volumes.
'We have enough time to decide if we need to accelerate or delay the introduction of electric cars,' he said. 'So far, we are not considering any delays. Our goal remains to launch our first electric car by the end of the decade. It w i l l be an additional model – a fourth car – with a new body style that will attract new customers to Lamborghini.'
Lamborghini's current lineup is now fully hybrid, including the Revuelto V12, the Urus SE SUV, and the newly launched Temerario.
The production version of the Lanzador EV is set to debut by 2030.

Stocks rise on easing US-China trade tensions, cool US inflation
Stock markets edged higher yesterday as investors welcomed cooler US inflation data and a China-US agreement aimed at lowering trade tensions. After two days of talks between US and Chinese negotiators in London, US President Donald Trump said: 'Our deal with China is done'. The United States and China slashed tit-for-tat tariffs after negotiations in Geneva last month, but tensions flared up again after Trump later accused Beijing of violating the pact reached in Switzerland. The positive London talks provided some relief to markets. 'Wall Street's three main indices rose as trading got underway in New York and Europe's main indices were higher in afternoon deals. Asian stock markets also won a lift on the China-US progress, with Hong Kong among the best performers. As well as tariffs, a key issue in the discussions was China's export of rare earths used in smartphones and electric vehicles, while Beijing was keen to see an easing of restrictions on its access to tech goods. The talks came as World Bank downgraded its 2025 forecast for global economic growth to 2.3% -- from the 2.7% predicted in January -- citing trade tensions and policy uncertainty. It also said the US economy would expand 1.4% this year, half of its 2024 growth. Meanwhile data showed little impact of Trump's tariffs on US consumer prices in May. Between April and May, the consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.1 percent. Analysts had expected it to continue at the 0.2 rate it rose in April. It also rose less than expected in the so-called core reading that excludes volatile food and energy prices. 'The key takeaway from the report is that both headline and core CPI were lower than expected on a month-over-month basis,' said analyst Patrick O'Hare. 'While these readings may not give a big boost to near-term rate cut expectations, they should also not cause the market to think that the next cut will be delayed,' he added. Investors have worried that a tariff-driven surge in inflation could hinder the Federal Reserve from lowering interest rates to counter the slowdown in growth. Investors now see a 57% chance the Fed, which has so not reduced rates since December, will cut rates in September.
