Lamborghini's First EV Will Be a Coupe With Room for Four Adults
Lamborghini's First EV Will Be a Coupe With Room for Four Adults-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:17

Lamborghini’s vision for a grand-touring EV that can comfortably seat four has us thinking about the 2008 Estoque concept, seen here. With two fewer doors, of course.

The recent arrival of the is a big deal, as it’s Sant’Agata’s first genuinely new flagship hypercar in 12 years. It’s also the brand’s first series plug-in hybrid. Naturally, Lamborghini is hard at work on a proper battery-electric model meant to arrive by 2028. Thanks to our friends at , we now have some insight as to what that might look like.

Lamborghini’s goal is to offer 300 miles of range on a full charge with “comfortable” rear seats, based on what Lamborghini Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Federico Foschini at the 2023 New York International Auto Show. This follows comments from CEO Stephan Winkelman that the unnamed EV would be a 2+2 grand tourer. “What is missing in the lineup today is a GT 2+2,” Winkleman , “and I think this would be a good add-on to the two super-sports cars and the SUV.”

In the interview with Motor Authority, Foschini elaborated that the company landed on 300 miles as the EV’s range target to reduce range anxiety. That shouldn’t be hard to achieve in five years’ time, given how battery technology is improving, but Foschini added that Lamborghini isn’t interested in rushing a product to market before the clientele is ready for it. :

Foschini said the minimum EV driving range target today seems to be just over 300 miles. “This is what you need because it’s a full electric vehicle,” the executive said. “You have no alternative range.” Foschini noted customers need peace of mind that they’ll have enough range for long-distance travel.

The CMO also noted the range number will depend on the mode you’re driving in.

The lack of access to charging infrastructure and fast charging speeds concern Lamborghini’s executive team so much that they feel they’ll benefit by waiting for other companies to tackle these issues. That’s one reason the car is five years away from production.

Lamborghini is clearly scoping out a complete range of vehicles here, which makes sense. SUVs have emerged as , and it’s reasonable to expect EVs will follow in their wake. Foschino told Motor Authority that he imagines a Revuelto owner might decide they need something more practical for their next purchase, at which point Lambo’s upcoming EV grand tourer would seem like an appropriate option. Lamborghini wants the car’s rear seats to be usable by adults as well as children, even if the second row won’t offer the same space available to the driver and front passenger.

It’s unbelievable to me that it’s been 15 years since we saw Lamborghini’s last pitch for a roomier grand-touring car, the (pictured at top). That concept of course had four doors, but it still managed to look absolutely stunning and like it visibly belonged in the family alongside the Gallardo and Murciélago. You have to figure an inhospitable economy — not to mention — likely had something to do with the of that project. Now would seem like a better time for a low-slung Lambo with seating for four.

At $16,000, Is This 1993 'Ferrari F355GTS' A Faker That’s A Real Deal?
Ferraris are some of the most finicky of cars to maintain. Toyotas, on the other hand, are among the least. Today’s MR2-based F355 may be the best of both those worlds. That is if you’re not faked out by the price. There’s an automotive maxim that goes “there’s no...

Today’s Nissan is a T-topped shooting brake. It’s also a closed coupé since BOTH hatches are along for the ride. Let’s see if this “Radwood winner” has a price that will make it a winner in your book too. I tried some imitation crab meat the other day and,...

At $11,999, Will This Topaz 2000 BMW Z3 M-Sport Roadster Have You Feeling Blue?
The seller or today’s Z3 describes it as “Show room CONDITION !!” and claims it’s a “COLLECTIBLE CAR!” The pics in the ad seem to support that exaltation, but will its price prove equally praiseworthy? Pulsars are incredibly dense stars that have their light emissions narrowly focused across their...
