Lamborghini aims acceptable electric vehicles, targets wider consumers: Report
- Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said it aims to reach a wider customer base based on its sustainability and electrification goals.
Lamborghini is aiming to reach out to more customers with its electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, in interaction with TopGear, said the premium brand's clientele is changing. “The new generation is willing to talk to us only if we are sustainable. They grew up with electrification as a given," Winkelmann said. Lamborghini which is focused on shifting its gears from ICEs to EVs, last year, announced an investment of $1.5 billion for its electrification goals.
Winkelmann believes a successful transition will be the one when the company develops two hybrid models which will include a model featuring a plug-in hybrid V12 that will replace Lamborghini Aventador. “The first thing is to make the hybridization successful. When we get the cars right, it will be," he added in the report. Lamborghini also has plans to introduce Huracan and its only SUV Urus in hybrid and petrol-electric powertrains by the end of 2024.
