Lamborghini can’t get internal combustion engines that easily. He wants to use a trick

Current Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann is not an avid fan of electromobility. At least not in the super sports segment. He wants to keep the internal combustion engines as long as possible. Also using a Porsche recipe.

Stephan Winkelmann is the top manager of the Volkswagen Group. Lamborghini raised his income to heaven and later, as Bugatti’s boss, the profits of the Molsheim brand. However, he does not share with the head of the VW Group Herbert Diess unbridled confidence in the electrification of supersports. He has always said that Bugatti’s customers are not yet ready for clean electric cars and that the brand itself will not be able to build an electric car of the same quality as the current Chiron in the foreseeable future.

But as we know, the future of Bugatti is to be tied to the Croatian Rimac, a manufacturer of electric hypersports. And so Winkelmann returned to Sant Agata. Although Lambo will not miss electrification, it is even preparing clean electric cars, but cars with internal combustion engines will produce longer than Bugatti. Winkelmann recently explained what this should look like in the future. In particular, he hopes that internal combustion engines will keep them alive for as long as possible, he even believes they could have a future.

According to him, Lamborghini will bring the first clean electric car into the world at the earliest around 2027. In the meantime, Lambo should present the successors of Aventador and Huracan with hybrid engines and add a completely new model to the portfolio. Although Winkelmann did not specify what it was about, it should be more versatile than two supersports. And despite a pair of doors. At the same time, Lamborghini’s chief for Yahoo Finance indicated that internal combustion engines could be kept alive thanks to synthetic fuels, as does de facto sister Porsche.

“Legislators will decide what they allow us to do after 2030. On the other hand, we believe it will be an opportunity for synthetic fuels that are carbon neutral and can be produced in sufficient quantities to power our cars. This is the direction in which we want to keep the door open, “Winkelmann explained. However, we do not expect more information about the direction of the company in the foreseeable future, simply because no one yet knows what will happen. But if e-fuels prevail in Formula 1, they could work on the road.
