There seems to be increasing pressure for us all to embrace electrification. European regulations are the strictest in terms of emissions and that is forcing manufacturers to take this path, and users to buy it. However, it seems that they have not stopped to think that having an electric car It’s not ideal for everyone.. Whether due to needs or sensations, it is not a perfect and ideal formula for all audiences. For this and other reasons, Lamborghini has delayed its first electric until 2029.
It is clear that the automotive sector is very diverse and full of extremes. While a small electric car makes perfect sense for short trips in the city, the truth is that it makes no sense in a supercar. Lamborghini is convinced that the Complete electrification is not the solutionfor now. It will continue with the development of hybrid models, a technology that is working well in models like the Temerario and that does not limit them as much.
The truth is that Lamborghini’s electric project has been in the pipeline for a while. In 2023 they presented the Lanzador Concept, a four-seater crossover that was planned for 2028. Now they confirm that production is delayed one yearuntil 2029, because the brand does not believe that the segment is yet ready for this technology. Those from Sant’Agata do not want to rush with the launch of this model and prefer that the market matures. In fact, by waiting they will be able to take references from others.
For example, Ferrari will launch its first electric car in 2025 with the intention of hitting the table. That does not seem to worry its rivals, who believe that the end of the decade will be the ideal time to arrive with this technology. For them it is a very important product, the fourth model in their family, which has to live up to expectations.
For Lamborghini it will be vital that its electric vehicle maintains outstanding dynamic performance and a weight that does not get out of hand. They search more than just a fast car in a straight line and we will have to wait until 2029 to find out.
