Article Summaries:

  • Lamborghini has officially cancelled its first electric supercar, the Lanzador, and will instead focus on plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs). CEO Stephan Winkelmann told The Sunday Times that full‑electric development is “an expensive hobby” and that buyers still crave the “emotional experience” of engine noise, which EVs lack. The company will continue producing internal‑combustion models “for as long as possible” and will only consider a fully electric Lamborghini when the market is ready. Current models-Urus SUV, Temerario, and Revuelta-are all PHEVs. The decision follows a Bloomberg report that Porsche may also shelve its 718 Boxster/Cayman EVs.
