Lamborghini Waiting To See If Synthetic Fuel Has A Future Before Retiring ICE Supercars

In 2014, Lamborghini made its first attempt at electrification with the Asterion hybrid concept. However, it wasn’t until this year that the company introduced its first production plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) – the Revuelto, which is powered by a V12 engine. Lamborghini’s plan for the future includes a Huracan replacement and an updated version of the Urus, both with a combustion engine and a charging port. In 2028, they also plan to release the fully electric Lanzador, followed by a second-generation Urus as an electric vehicle (EV) in 2029.

As for the future of their combustion engine supercars, Lamborghini has not yet made a decision. Chairman and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, stated in an interview with Autocar that they are waiting to see if synthetic fuels can save internal combustion engines (ICE). They believe it is worth waiting a few more years to determine whether e-fuels will be widely accepted by regulators and if production can meet the demand.
