Lamborghini's first EV delayed to 2029

Lamborghini

Lamborghini has announced yet another setback in its electrification strategy. The first all-electric vehicle from the Italian purveyor of high performance, originally slated for a 2028 launch, has been pushed back to 2029.

Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, speaking at the company's headquarters, expressed skepticism about the market's readiness for electric supercars. "We do not think 2029 is late to have an electric car," Winkelmann stated. "We do not think that, in our segment, the market will be ready in 2025 or 2026." This sentiment echoes a growing concern among some luxury carmakers that the unique demands of their clientele, who prioritize performance and visceral driving experiences, may not be fully met by current EV technology.

Lamborghini's electric dreams delayed to 2029

Lamborghini's current lineup consists of three hybrid models: the Urus SE, the Revuelto, and the recently unveiled Temerario, priced at $350,000. The company claims it simply wants to ensure that any EV with the Lamborghini badge lives up to the brand's heritage, and a silent EV is a bit of a problem.

The ongoing debate surrounding the European Union's 2035 ban on internal combustion engines adds another layer of complexity. Winkelmann hinted at the possibility of delays in the ICE phaseout plan and expressed Lamborghini's interest in exploring synthetic fuels as a potential alternative to full electrification. "There are discussions around synthetic fuels and this is an opportunity for our kind of cars," Winkelmann remarked.

Lamborghini's electric dreams delayed to 2029

The delayed EV, previewed by the Lanzador concept revealed in 2023, is expected to be a high-riding coupe with 2+2 seating. While initial plans suggested a 2028 production start, Lamborghini now aims to introduce the electric model in 2029. The company has remained silent on the fate of a planned electric SUV, which was meant to follow the Lanzador in 2029.

Lamborghini is not alone in its cautious approach to EVs. Aston Martin and Bentley have also postponed their EV launches, citing concerns about market and technological limitations. Ferrari seems to be the outlier here, and it remains on track to launch its first EV in 2025.
