Lamborghini’s ICE-only days are numbered as the homies of Sant’Agata Bolognese will say goodbye to vehicles with pure combustion engines later this year. It has already been confirmed that the Huracan and Aventador replacements will both be hybrids and the upcoming Urus facelift will also adopt a partially electrified powertrain. All three model lines are expected to go hybrid by 2024, but the first electric vehicle will take some time.
In an interview with Coach Earlier this year, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann announced that the first electric vehicle will be released in 2028 with a 2+2 seating configuration. The British magazine speculated at the time that it would be a smaller crossover than the Urus. Given its interior layout, it should serve as a spiritual successor to the Urraco, the last 2+2 gran tourer sold by Lambo from 1972 to 1979 during which less than 800 units were made.
We decided to use our crystal ball and try to see the future of the first Lamborghini to get rid of a gasoline engine. The name we chose for this digital design exercise is “Revuelto” because a patent filing with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) from a few months ago suggested that the builder Italian automobile is preparing yet another unnamed bull model.
The crossover’s avant-garde styling draws inspiration from the futuristic Terzo Millennio concept as well as the limited-edition Sián FKP 37. Of course, 2028 is a long way to go and a lot could change by then, but we expect the crossover to roll on a dedicated electric car platform. This should result in short overhangs to maximize the wheelbase. However, with Lambo’s chief honcho saying it will be a 2+2 rather than a true four-seater, rear legroom will likely be limited.
A roomier electric vehicle for the whole family is coming as the second-generation Urus expected towards the end of the decade will drop the twin-turbo V8 engine. Unless synthetic fuels gain popularity in the coming years, Lamborghini plans to have an all-electric lineup in the early 2030s. Meanwhile, a meaner petrol-powered Urus is just around the corner and will be followed before the end of the year by a Huracan Sterrato equipped with a naturally aspirated V10.
