Lamborghini commits to combustion power 'as long as possible'
Lamborghini will use petrol engines for as long as it can as part of its unique selling point in delivering an emotive driving experience, according to its technical boss. While Ferrari is preparing to unveil its first electric vehicle (EV) in October 2025, Lamborghini won't have an EV of its own until the arrival of a four-seat showroom version of the Lanzador concept – which has been delayed to 2030. Even then, Lamborghini is not planning to ditch combustion power for an electric-only future, even if it's seemingly inevitable. Speaking to media including CarExpert, the Lamborghini's chief technical officer, Rouven Mohr, said the company's cars are not about raw numbers, but instead an emotional experience – and that's why petrol power will remain.

'This is clear not because – you know, sometimes some colleagues say, 'ah, it's not so much about the old world' – [but because] we still think that we have a lot of ideas to transport, let me say, the combustion future.' Mohr was speaking during a technical briefing on the 2026 Lamborghini Temerario, which is powered by hybrid powertrain which teams a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine with three axial-flux electric motors. The Temerario follows the Lamborghini Revuelto V12 supercar in going hybrid. The Temerario's 588kW/630Nm V8 engine spins to an emphatic 10,000rpm, significantly higher than the V10 engine in the car it replaces, the Lamborghini Huracan.

The Temerario's hybrid system makes a total of 677kW between the petrol engine and its electric motors, channelled through in-house developed eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. Performance claims include a 2.7-second 0-100km/h dash, a 343km/h top speed and the ability to pull up from 100km/h to zero in only 32 metres (0.5m more than the Huracan) thanks to its carbon-ceramic brakes. It's faster and lighter than its predecessor despite the hybrid system, with the Temerario's 1690kg dry weight, undercutting the Huracan Tecnica's 1379kg. An electric version would likely be heavier – but faster accelerating again. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Yet, Mohr said internal combustion was part of the theatre of the Lamborghini brand, especially against a new wave of conventional electric passenger cars with supercar-like acceleration figures. 'For sure, we have to differentiate if you speak about automobiles in general,' Mohr added. 'I'm speaking [more] about the emotional perception in our segment. 'In our segment, we are even, we are the pinnacle of the emotions. The other brands that say they want to be the pinnacle in the lap time, they want to be the pinnacle in motorsport and brand heritage.

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.

Lamborghini's First All-Electric Car Could Make 2,000 HP
An all-electric Lamborghini Urus is expected by the end of this decade, or at least it was back in 2023, before EV demand weakened and Lamborghini started saying that an all-electric supercar wasn't close. Still, if and when Lamborghini's first all-electric car gets here, expect it to be fast, with up to 2,000 horsepower, a VW executive said this week. That car could be the Lamborghini Lanzador, the high-riding all-electric grand touring concept Lamborghini unveiled a year-and-a-half ago. Or it could be merely based on that concept, and perhaps something that is less of an SUV and more of a hypercar. We now know, regardless of the shape it takes, it will be extremely powerful. More from Robb Report Maserati Just Canceled the All-Electric Supercar It Spent the Last 5 Years Developing This Rare, Barely Driven Lamborghini Sían Is Now up for Grabs Cadillac's Newest All-Electric Escalade Is One of the Longest Production Cars of All Time Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume said the car will 'use a platform that development of is being led by Porsche for Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Porsche, that will allow for up to 2000 hp [1973bhp] and 980 volts. It's a very specific set-up for Lamborghini,' according to Autocar. Another way of saying that is that the first all-electric Lamborghini will make 'at least one megawatt,' or around 1,340 horsepower, as Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann has previously said of the Lanzador 'ultra GT.' The voltage, meanwhile, is a reference to technology that could enable much faster charging, and is more than double the voltage that most EVs today are based on. The higher voltage could also help deliver more power, according to Autocar, and possibly be more efficient, which could enhance range. Lamborghini intends to make a splash, in other words, in contrast to how supercar makers have gone about incorporating hybrid technology into its products, which is often announced with less fanfare even given its use in Formula 1 racing. That is also perhaps because hybrid technology still carries the hint of compromise, though in modern supercars it is an objective improvement. There would be no hiding the technology in an all-electric car, though, which is why Lamborghini is aiming high. 'I promise that it will be a typical Lamborghini,' Blume said, 'something very emotional.'
