- From 2024, only plug-in hybrids will roll off the assembly line at Lamborghini.
- The brand also announced the first all-electric Lamborghini for 2028.
- This was announced by CEO Stephan Winkelmann in an interview with Forbes.
As part of Audi AG, which belongs to the Volkswagen Group, the Italian sports car brand Lamborghini is riding a wave of success. You now have to wait around 18 months for a new “Lambo”, in 2022 9,233 vehicles were delivered. As much as never before. As part of the announcement of business figures, the acting CEO Stephan Winkelmann called Forbes and talked about upcoming models.
The clear focus is on plug-in hybrids (PHEV). As early as next year, vehicles that do not need an electric motor will be history. It cannot be ruled out that announcements like these have led to long-time fans of the brand recently ordering a “real” Lamborghini and contributing to the company record.

The models available from 2024 will be based on Lamborghini’s PHEV platform. The core is a V12 engine with a displacement of 6.5 liters, which is supplemented by three electric motors. The system performance is thus over 1,000 hp.
However, there are still no concrete plans or even pictures of the all-electric Lamborghini. Winkelmann is promising this for the year 2028. The competitor Ferrari used to electrify – the first pure electric vehicle is to be available here from 2025. Ford also recently presented an interesting electric car with the Explorer.
