Recently, Lamborghini CEO Stephen Winkelmann said in an interview: As Lamborghini’s best-selling SUV model, Urus will undergo a major update of its powertrain within a few years, and will be fully plug-in hybrid in 2024.
It is reported that Lamborghini will launch the Urus plug-in hybrid version that has been tested for a long time in 2024. At the same time, the pure fuel version of the car will be canceled from then on, which means that the whole series will usher in the plug-in hybrid.
Lamborghini said: After five years, the Urus will be redeveloped as a pure electric model. The good news is that even in the plug-in hybrid version, the new car still has a 4.0T V8 engine. The plug-in hybrid version of this generation of Urus models only uses electric motors to comprehensively strengthen the power parameters.
Some ideas are similar to Porsche Turbo S E Hybrid, so its maximum power is expected to exceed 800 horsepower, and its performance has been improved in an all-around way. Of course, the side effect is that the addition of electric motors and batteries will make the body more bulky, but for the already heavy SUV The impact is not too great.
In addition, Lamborghini CEO Stephen Winkelmann also mentioned that the future of the internal combustion engine is very pessimistic. The main reason is that the emission regulations in the European market are very strict on the manufacture of internal combustion engines, especially the manufacture of high-performance internal combustion engines, resulting in high costs.
Although European countries have relaxed the ban on the so-called ban on the sale of fuel vehicles, this has little effect because the emission regulations have not been revised, such as Euro 7 emissions, higher taxes in various countries, and tax exemption and subsidy policies for new energy vehicles. Measures and manufacturers’ attitude towards comprehensive new energy has not changed significantly.
Finally, Winkelmann said that a fourth Lamborghini model is on the way, which will be an all-electric crossover GT coupe, but the name has not yet been directly revealed. It is understood that the new model has greater ground clearance and better vision than the ordinary GT coupe, and it is also said that the car will be equipped with a high-performance battery that has never been seen before in other models to escort it.
As a world-renowned supercar brand, Lamborghini has an absolute advantage. But in the field of pure electricity, what kind of performance can Lamborghini perform in the future? It is very worth looking forward to.
