Lamborghini plans to launch the Huracan Sterrato, a bulky, off-road version of its V10-powered coupe, later this year. “If this is not going to happen, we will be fully electric by the latest beginning the 2030s,” he added.įor now, the brand has no plans to give up on gasoline. “We still have the opportunity maybe to go into synthetic fuel with those type of cars, but this means that there must be a change in the legislation which I cannot foresee right now.” “It’s a bit difficult, because the European Parliament decided earlier in the year that they will ban gas engines and diesel engines by 2035, and the smaller manufacturers like Lamborghini by 2036, so we don’t need to decide now,” Winkelmann said. The automaker is waiting to see if synthetic fuels, also used by sister company Porsche, could be a carbon-neutral alternative to battery-electric vehicles. The niche automaker is awaiting direction from the European Union before deciding whether to go all in on EVs, according to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann.Įven as other automakers plan to jettison gas-engine models by 2030, Winkelmann said he can’t yet foresee Lamborghini as an all-electric brand. Parent company Volkswagen Group may be investing more than $100 billion in bringing electric vehicles to market, but its supercar brand Lamborghini isn’t sold.
