• For the last few years, Lamborghini has been in a quandary: What to do about an electric vehicle? • Among the supercar brands, Lamborghini has always stood out asfavoring drama over lap times. • And while electric motors and their instant torque can make a car accelerate very quickly indeed, other than the G-forces, it happens with such little fuss. • Working out how to imbue an EV with enough “wow” factor to wear the famous bull badge has proved so difficult that the company has thrown in the towel in favor of developing more plug-in hybrids. • As part of Volkswagen Group, Lamborghini has access to the EV platforms used by fellow VW Group brands Audi and Porsche, so it’s not a question of access to technology. • Rather, the company just doesn’t think it can sell the cars.

Article Summaries:

  • Lamborghini has cancelled its electric SUV, the Lanzador, after concluding that the brand’s high‑end buyers are not interested in fully electric models. The decision, announced by CEO Stephan Winkelmann, came in late 2025 and reflects the company’s view that investing heavily in a full‑EV platform would be financially irresponsible given the current market. Although Lamborghini is part of the Volkswagen Group and has access to Audi and Porsche EV technology, the firm believes its customers-who pay six‑figure prices-prefer the visceral experience of internal‑combustion or plug‑in hybrids. The Lanzador, first shown in 2023, will be shelved in favour of hybrid development.
