Lamborghini will produce more than 10,000 cars in 2023
- The Italian firm Lamborghini (a subsidiary of the Volkswagen group and more precisely of the Audi brand) has unveiled its first 100% electric model, the Lanzador. This new model respects the stylistic codes of crossovers because the Lanzador mixes the style of coupes (general aerodynamic silhouette) and that of SUVs (raised ground clearance). Freed from the presence at the rear of a bulky thermal engine due to its large displacement (like the other Lamborghinis) the Lanzador benefits from a large rear hatch allowing the model to be used as a station wagon. The Lanzador is based on the new SSP Sport platform dedicated to high-performance, battery electric vehicles from the Volkswagen group which will be adopted by future generations of the Porsche Taycan and Panamera, Audi E-Tron GT as well as the future generation of the Lamborghini Urus SUV.
- The Lamborghini Lanzador is scheduled to be marketed in 2028. At that time, the firm should no longer sell cars with combustion engines, which means that we will have entered a new era for this carmaker.
- Lamborghini's competitors like Ferrari, Maserati and Aston-Martin will also have to adapt to the new world by abandoning their thermal engine models and developing a whole range of BEV models. Lamborghini production has made a spectacular jump over the past twenty years, thanks to its integration into the Volkswagen group and then the launch of its Urus SUV (today the firm's most produced model). In 2023, Lamborghini should for the first time reach and exceed 10,000 vehicles produced per year. Ferrari has produced more than 10,000 cars per year since 2019.
