Winkelmann released detailed delivery figures for Lamborghini last year: a total of 10,112 supercars and SUVs were delivered, up from 9,200 in 2022. Among them, Europe, the Middle East and Africa were the regions where Lamborghini saw the largest growth in deliveries last year, with an increase of 14% and deliveries reaching nearly 4,000 vehicles. Sales in the Americas increased by 9%, with 3,465 vehicles delivered; in the Asia-Pacific region, sales increased by 4%, with 2,660 vehicles delivered.

According to reports, Lamborghini’s long-standing rival Ferrari will announce 2023 delivery figures later this year.

According to previous reports, Lamborghini plans to make its car lineup fully hybrid this year. This year, a new model of the crossover SUV Urus will be launched to replace the original Huracan.

The Huracan successor, expected to debut in late 2024, will also be a plug-in hybrid, although it’s not yet certain whether it will retain the naturally aspirated V10 engine or downsize to a V8. In addition, the pure electric version of Urus will be officially unveiled around 2029.

Winkelmann also said that future EU legislation would make it “virtually impossible” for gasoline vehicles to continue to be sold, even if they still technically meet regulatory standards.

 It's almost impossible for a car as large as ours to be compliant after 2035. Moreover, the cost of developing an internal combustion engine is already prohibitively high, and meeting the current Euro 6 emission standards and the future Euro 7 standards is an even greater burden for us.

The Lamborghini Urus plug-in hybrid model will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine and an electric motor, with a combined power of up to 603 kilowatts and a pure electric cruising range of about 500 kilometers.

It is noticed that the Urus plug-in hybrid version is not Lamborghini’s first hybrid model. On March 30, Lamborghini released its new supercar——Revuelto, which is also the successor of Aventador (commonly known as “Daniel”).

The car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid power system consisting of a 6.5-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine and three drive motors. super sports car.

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.

It should be noted that Lamborghini already builds and sells a hybrid – the limited edition Sián FKP 37 – that is partially electrified with supercapacitors. The plug-in hybrid version of the Urus, expected next year, will have a powertrain similar to that of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, which is currently powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine and an electric motor that together produces 671 horsepower.

The Huracan’s successor, expected to debut in late 2024, will also be a plug-in hybrid. It is uncertain whether it will retain its naturally aspirated V10 engine or be downsized to a V8, possibly in a twin-turbo configuration, while the Aventador successor, codenamed LB744, retains its V12 engine, so the Huracan is also expected to retain its V10 engine.

What will come after these two plug-in hybrids? Lamborghini’s first all-electric car, of course, and Winkelmann has revealed plans to launch its first all-electric model in 2028, the details of which he did not reveal, but which he said in a previous interview with Auto Express will have four seats, two doors and higher ground clearance than typical Lamborghini models.

Lamborghini’s second all-electric car will be a pure electric version of the Urus, which will be officially unveiled around 2029.
