In 2023 the first hybrid series production car will be launched, expected to be an updated version of the Urus SUV. Hybrid versions of the rest of the brand’s models will be on sale by the end of 2024. Lamborghini’s president Stephan Winkelmann has confirmed that the models will be plug-in hybrids, with the successors to the V10 Huracan and V12 Aventador set to join the electrified line-up.

Winklenmann also confirmed that Lamborghini will launch its first all-electric model in the second half of the decade, expected to be a 2+2 grand tourer rather than a two-seat supercar.
