Lamborghini has scrapped plans to launch its first full-electric model, confirming that its long-rumoured fourth series-production car will arrive as a plug-in hybrid grand tourer rather than the battery-electric vehicle the brand had been pointing towards for years.
Sant’Agata had been edging away from the Lanzador EV for some time. The high-riding 2+2 concept, shown in 2023 as a preview of Lamborghini’s first pure-electric model, had already slipped from a 2028 target to 2029.
Now the electric powertrain is gone entirely, and the fourth model will be a PHEV GT instead.
Chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said the technology was ready but the customers were not.
Demand for a full-electric Lamborghini in the brand’s segment simply did not justify the investment.
The decision rounds out a fully hybridised four-car line-up. The Revuelto, Urus SE and Temerario are all plug-in hybrids, and the new GT will join them before the decade is out.
Lamborghini has no intention of abandoning combustion engines either, with Winkelmann stating the company would keep them as long as buyers want them and rules permit.
The backdrop is a business performing strongly. Lamborghini posted a record 10,747 deliveries in 2025, spread across EMEA, the Americas and Asia Pacific, with hybrid models accounting for much of that momentum.
The brand is not walking away from electrification — it is just refusing to rush it.
