End of the road for pure petrol Lamborghinis
Order books for the last Huracán and Urus ICE models are full, with future models being hybrid or electric
Lamborghini’s internal combustion engine (ICE) models are sold out until the end of production, its CEO was quoted as saying in the Welt newspaper on Wednesday, as the luxury carmaker transitions towards a pure hybrid line-up.
Order books for its Huracán and Urus models are full, marking the end of ICE vehicle production for the company, said Stephan Winkelmann, head of the Volkswagen subsidiary.
Lamborghini announced last July it would be investing at least €1.8bn to produce a hybrid line-up by 2024 and more to bring out its fully electric model by the end of the decade.
Winkelmann told Welt the ICE models would be replaced by plug-in hybrids in 2024 and 2025, adding he expected the hybrid Revuelto model to be sold out by the end of 2025.
The carmaker reported record sales last year and was aiming for a “very good result” this year again, he added.
