Lamborghini unveiled its first electric vehicle (EV) plans, delivering exceptional performance. The upcoming model will produce a maximum of 2,000 horsepower and utilize a 980V electrical system. The automaker aims to launch the vehicle before 2030.
Lamborghini EV: 980V System for High Performance
Oliver Blume, CEO of Volkswagen Group, said that Porsche’s EV platform will be the foundation for Lamborghini’s unique setup. The new model will likely be a 2+2 GT based on the Lanzador concept introduced in 2023.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann stated that an electric supercar must offer high power and an engaging driving experience. He emphasized that Lamborghini targets an output of at least 1 megawatt (1,341 horsepower).
Other high-performance brands within the Volkswagen Group also plan to adopt the 980V architecture. This system, which surpasses the existing 400V and 800V platforms, is designed to maximize charging speeds, power output, and efficiency.
Blume explained that this approach will ensure Lamborghini’s EVs meet both performance expectations and emotional appeal.
Unlike its competitors, Lamborghini is adhering to its electrification roadmap. While Aston Martin and Bentley have delayed their EV launches, and Porsche and Lotus are extending the lifespan of their internal combustion engine models, Lamborghini is staying on course.
Lamborghini’s Dual-Track Strategy: Hybrid Models to Continue
Lamborghini plans to retain its hybrid lineup while advancing electrification.
Winkelmann said the company will carefully observe market trends while maintaining its hybrid-based structure. He also stated that even if synthetic fuels become a viable alternative for internal combustion engines, Lamborghini will not abandon its EV strategy.
Currently, Lamborghini’s hybrid models are receiving strong market demand.
The Revuelto, a V12 engine with an additional battery, has sold out its production slots through 2026. The Urus SE plug-in hybrid SUV is fully booked through late 2025, and the newly unveiled V8-based hybrid supercar, the Temerario, is also experiencing strong sales.
Winkelmann emphasized that Lamborghini is a brand that turns dreams into reality. He noted that the first EV is not a one-off project but part of a long-term strategy spanning over a decade. He added that as the EV becomes Lamborghini’s fourth model, significant changes are expected in the lineup.
Lamborghini’s approach is clear: It plans to introduce its first EV around 2030 while continuing to monitor market trends and maintain its hybrid supercar range.
