Lamborghini Ceo Says It's 'missing A Grand Touring Car,' But Has No Interest In A Sedan Or Another Suv

Lamborghini

When you deliberation of Lamborghini, I'm judge you deliberation of nan astir obnoxious, over-the-top, coked-out supercars you tin imagine. In reality, the company's best-selling exemplary is nan Urus crossover, truthful it makes immoderate consciousness that Lambo would want to dip its large Italian toed backmost into nan waters of much applicable vehicles. The point is, it killed plans for its adjacent semi-practical conveyance — the all-electric Lanzador four-seater — backmost successful February. However, that doesn't mean a early expansive tourer from Lambo is retired of nan question. But, if it does show up, it's not going to beryllium a sedan aliases different SUV.

Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann told Road & Track that what's presently missing from nan marque is simply a "grand touring car. A 2-door 2+2." He added that nan automaker has "ruled retired a sedan and a mini SUV" arsenic possibilities for lineup description . Stephen, I for illustration wherever your caput is at. From wherever I'm sitting, this benignant of car sounds for illustration a nonstop replacement for the Lanzador EV conception — particularly since Lambo is focusing connected a 2+2 shape factor.

Obviously, there's nary connection connected what will powerfulness it aliases thing of that nature, but if I were a betting man, I'd wager that this car will much apt than not beryllium powered by immoderate benignant of plug-in hybrid motor. As we antecedently reported, Lamborghini wants each of its cars to beryllium PHEVs by 2030, and Winkelmann has said successful nan past he wants nan institution to proceed building soul combustion engines "for arsenic agelong arsenic possible."

During Winkelmann's question and reply pinch R&T, he made judge to opportunity that nan early of an electrical car astatine Lamborghini wasn't wholly dead. Of course, backmost successful February, he said nan target marketplace was "close to zero," but that's neither present nor there. In immoderate case, complete nan weekend, nan executive said nan marque is still "continuing to activity connected nan EV idea." He said that Lamborghini wants "to beryllium fresh erstwhile nan clip comes," but he reiterated that it wouldn't beryllium "before 2030."

A 2+2 expansive tourer from Lamborghini would beryllium nan cleanable car for its lineup correct now. I mean, nan Revuelto and Temerario aren't precisely long-distance cruisers, and nan Urus SE — while a awesome GT car — isn't rather arsenic delicate arsenic you'd really for illustration a existent expansive tourer to be. If I had to guess, since this point surely wouldn't beryllium electric, it'll beryllium front-engined, which intends it'll beryllium nan first non-SUV front-engined Lambo since nan Espada went retired of accumulation successful 1978.

It would honestly beryllium very cool to spot Lamborghini put retired a car to compete straight pinch worldly for illustration nan Mercedes-AMG GT63S E-Performance, Ferrari Roma, Aston Martin DB12 and Bentley Continental GT.
